During the budget discussions of the Ministry of Interior at the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM), a barricade crisis escalated tensions in the Parliament. During this tension, a heated verbal debate occurred between CHP member Ali Mahir Başarır and Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya. This incident was also reflected in the program hosted by Fulya Öztürk on CNN Türk. TENSE MOMENTS ON LIVE BROADCASTJournalist Abdülkadir Selvi criticized the actions of CHP members, stating, "Those who set up this barricade in the Parliament are no different from the terrorists who set up barricades in the streets." In response to these remarks, journalist İsmail Dükel said, "CHP member Ali Mahir Başarır just wants to talk to Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya for 2 minutes. When this is rejected, these events erupt. The aim of the CHP members was to obtain information." As the debate became increasingly heated, the two journalists stood up and began to respond to each other loudly. In the moments of rising tension, host Fulya Öztürk intervened, and the two individuals were calmed down.
