The operation targeting Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu also caused tension in Parliament. During yesterday's session of the General Assembly, a dispute broke out after CHP Group Deputy Chairman Ali Mahir Başarır threw a cologne bottle at AKP Kayseri Deputy Bayar Özsoy. Following this incident, AKP and CHP deputies confronted each other.
THEY LEFT WITHOUT DISCUSSING THE RETIREMENT BONUS
As the arguments continued, AKP deputies left the Parliament, and the legislative proposal to increase the retirement bonus to 4 thousand liras was not discussed. After AKP Group Deputy Chairman Özlem Zengin left the General Assembly hall, CHP's Ali Mahir Başarır reacted by saying, "Where are you going, Ms. Özlem? Cast your vote. Why are you closing the Parliament?"
HE DIDN'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING, HE PLAYED CARDS
While tensions were high in Parliament, a deputy sitting in the back rows of the AKP group was seen playing the card game 'batak' on his phone. As the footage spread rapidly on social media, it sparked a major backlash.
