The parliamentary turmoil erupted after the ruling Justice and Development party (AKP) member Alpay Özalan launched into Ahmet Şık, a member of the leftist Workers’ party of Turkey (TIP), who had condemned the government’s treatment of the lawyer and rights activist Can Atalay.
There was blood on the floor of parliament after the 30-minute fracas that left at least two politicians injured

Man I've literally searched for Turkish parliament brawls expecting to find 3-5 years old clips. I'm not expecting to find on 5 days old.
These men are making a mockery of some fine tailored suits!
Well maybe having old politicians isn’t so bad… they would just sit down and yell at each other not… this
