In the General Assembly of the Parliament, a debate occurred between AK Party and CHP deputies regarding investigations conducted on certain municipalities. CHP Group Deputy Chairman Ali Mahir Başarır threw a bottle of cologne towards the AK Party benches. Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Sırrı Süreyya Önder turned to the AK Party benches, stating that the warning penalty given to Başarır was insufficient, and said, "I can also have you removed. Don't annoy me!"

The Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) General Assembly convened under the chairmanship of Deputy Speaker Sırrı Süreyya Önder to discuss the 'Draft Law on Amendments to the Law on Youth and Sports Services and Certain Laws and Decrees.'

AK PARTY DEPUTY BAYKAN: ARE YOU SO UNGRATEFUL THAT YOU WON'T SUPPORT ŞÜKRÜ GENÇ?

AK Party Konya Deputy Mehmet Baykan, during the one-minute speaking time given to deputies, stated, "It would not be appropriate for us to express opinions on ongoing investigation processes. The agenda is known, but I want to draw your attention to a matter regarding a name. If I'm not mistaken, Şükrü Genç, who served three terms and was the former Mayor of Sarıyer, was arrested for financing the DHKP-C terrorist organization. The reactions to the operations aiding terrorism involving the mayors of Esenyurt, Beşiktaş, and Beykoz, as well as the mayors of Maltepe and Ataşehir, somehow did not apply to Şükrü Genç, and he was arrested. I ask; are you so ungrateful that you won't support him because he is an independent candidate? Are you disturbed by the accusations against him? Of course, the presumption of innocence is above all, but do you have other fears?"

"THEN YOU CAN FIGHT LATER"

In response to Baykan's words, there was a reaction from the CHP benches. Deputy Speaker Sırrı Süreyya Önder, before giving the floor to İrfan Karatutlu, the Deputy of the New Path Party from Kahramanmaraş, said, "Dear deputies, there are friends who have not used their one-minute speaking right. You can fight later."

CHP'S BAŞARIR THREW A COLONY BOTTLE AT AK PARTY BENCHES

During İrfan Karatutlu's speech, a debate occurred between CHP Group Deputy Chairman Ali Mahir Başarır and AK Party Kayseri Deputy Bayar Özsoy. CHP's Başarır threw a colony bottle towards the AK Party benches. AK Party and CHP deputies approached each other. Sırrı Süreyya Önder suspended the session for 20 minutes due to the tension.

WARNING PENALTY FOR BAŞARIR

After the break, the General Assembly reconvened. Deputy Speaker Sırrı Süreyya Önder stated that an unfortunate incident had occurred and said that the deputies involved in the incident with the colony bottle thrown by Başarır at the AK Party benches should apologize. After CHP's Başarır did not apologize, Önder announced that a warning penalty had been given to Başarır.

ÖNDER TO AK PARTY DEPUTIES: I'LL THROW YOU OUT TOO, DON'T ANNOY ME

AK Party deputies argued that this penalty was not sufficient. Önder tried to remind the AK Party deputies of the internal regulations. However, the AK Party benches continued to make noise while Önder was speaking. Önder, upon being interrupted, angrily responded, "I'll throw you out! Don't annoy me!"

Önder stated: "Friends, give me a moment. Let me explain the reason for this speech, since you are lazy to open the internal regulations, let me tell you the justification. Let me speak, let me speak. One minute, one minute. One minute, let me speak. This speech is for this. Dear deputies, open and look. This is a speech about changing or not changing my opinion. You cannot throw words at me from there; I will throw you out too. Don't annoy me. Mr. Zengin, please, my opinion has not changed. The warning penalty continues. Please. Please. I am suspending the session for 20 minutes. I will give the floor later. This cannot be. I cannot keep up with this much talk. Then support it."

After these statements, Önder suspended the session for 20 minutes.
