The microphone of George Aslan, the Mardin MP from the DEM Party who was celebrating Christmas in Syriac, was turned off by the Deputy Speaker of the Parliament, Bekir Bozdağ.
The budget marathon that started in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) continues in the General Assembly with discussions on the 2025 budgets of the Presidency and its affiliated institutions.
OBSTRUCTION TO SYRIAC CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION
During the discussions, DEM Party Mardin Deputy George Aslan, who spoke on behalf of his party, had his microphone turned off by the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Bekir Bozdağ, while he was celebrating Christmas in Syriac.
FIRST HE THANKED, THEN HE REACTED
After his speech, Aslan, who thought the microphone was not turned off and thanked Bozdağ, was warned by the DEM Party ranks. Later, realizing that his voice was cut off, Aslan reacted to Bozdağ.
"THE LANGUAGE I SPEAK IS THE LANGUAGE OF JESUS CHRIST"
Aslan stated, "Yesterday, while everyone was reading verses from the Quran, the system did not shut down. Because they say it is a sacred language. The language I speak is the language of Jesus Christ, and that is sacred too."
