This is a fuller text description of events:
A fight broke out between Turkish politicians in parliament, with punches, kicks, bottles and office equipment being thrown. The parliament erupted in violence during a debate on government control over the appointment of judicial officials. The bill comes amidst graft scandal in Tukey the recent fall out of which has been a massive dismissal of police officers.
The fall out from Turkeys recent graft scandal was the dismissal of police officers. The Turkish government has sacked police chiefs in 16 provinces amidst a corruption probe into alleged graft in PM Tayyip Erdogans cabinet. The move comes after 350 police officers were dismissed in Ankara on Tuesday. The crisis erupted in December, when dozens of leading businessmen and political figures, including the sons of three ministers, were rounded up in police raids in Istanbul and Ankara. It also comes shortly before local elections due in March and presidential polls in August.
So Turkey wants to be a part of the E.U.? I don’t think they’re ready to even pretend to be civilized just yet. Maybe that level of vis a vi confrontation is normal for that region, sort of like a close family that fights at every group gathering.
How bizarre, how bizarre...
We need more of that in our Congress. Republicans and Democrats are too ‘Buddy Buddy’ with each other.
They fight like girls.
