A clash broke out in Turkey’s Grand National Assembly between the
ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and Nationalist Movement
Party (MHP) members, Turkey’s ANKA news agency reported.

MHP member Osman Durmus said that ruling party members relate to
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan as a "prophet" and made ironic
comment on Erodgan’s wife, speaking of her with disdain and scorn.

The MP’s ironic comment caused scandal at the parliament. Chair of
the Justice and Development Party (AKP) faction Bekir Bozdag protested
Durmus speech. Then Prime Minister Erdogan addressed the parliament and
called it unmoral insinuation against his wife. A clash of MHP and AKP
members followed, turning the Turkish Parliament into a boxing ring.

According to Turkish media, this was one of the most vicious outbreaks
that took place in Turkey’s parliament in recent years.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
