MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli and İYİ Party Chairman Müsavat Dervişoğlu also attended the session where the Law Proposal on Strengthening National Solidarity and Social Cohesion, prepared within the scope of the 'Terror-Free Turkey' process, was to be discussed. The fact that the two leaders sat side by side in the meeting hall but still did not shake hands left its mark on the General Assembly. This situation brought about comments that 'cold winds are blowing between the two leaders.'
Discussions on the Bill on Strengthening National Solidarity and Social Integration, prepared for the Terror-Free Türkiye process and sent to the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM) General Assembly after being accepted in the TBMM Justice Committee, have begun in the TBMM General Assembly.
The TBMM General Assembly convened under the chairmanship of Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Celal Adan for the Terror-Free Türkiye process. Adan, at the opening of the session, gave the floor out of agenda to 20 deputies.
BAHÇELİ AND DERVİŞOĞLU SIDE BY SIDE
MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli and İYİ Party Chairman Müsavat Dervişoğlu also attended the session where the bill would be discussed.
BAHÇELİ SHOOK HANDS WITH GROUP CHAIRMEN
AK Party Group Chairman Abdullah Güler, CHP Group Chairman Faik Öztrak, and New Path Party Deputy Group Chairman Selçuk Özdağ went to Bahçeli and shook hands before the session. Some party group chairmen also shook hands with Dervişoğlu.
THEY WERE SIDE BY SIDE BUT...
In the session at the General Assembly, a situation that did not escape attention occurred. It was not overlooked that Bahçeli and Dervişoğlu, who were sitting side by side, did not shake hands.
Those moments that left their mark on the General Assembly were captured by the cameras.
On the other hand, İYİ Party deputies who attended the session wearing scarves with the Turkish flag placed Turkish flags on their desks.
