The Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) convened in an extraordinary session to discuss the Constitutional Court's ruling regarding the revocation of Workers' Party of Turkey (TİP) MP Can Atalay's parliamentary seat.
During the meeting, TİP MP Ahmet Şık addressed the AKP deputies, saying, "You have no shame, you have no dignity." Following these remarks, AKP İzmir MP Alpay Özalan ran to the podium and punched Ahmet Şık.
