Proceedings in Türkiye’s Grand National Assembly were disrupted on Wednesday after a heated confrontation broke out among lawmakers during a parliamentary sitting.
The incident, which was captured on video and circulated widely on social media, showed members of rival political parties shouting, pushing and engaging in physical scuffles on the floor of the chamber, forcing a temporary halt to proceedings.
The rancour reportedly erupted amid sharp disagreements over recent government decisions, reflecting deep political divisions between the ruling party and opposition lawmakers.
Parliamentary order was eventually restored, and the session resumed, though tensions remained high. No official statement has yet been issued on disciplinary measures or injuries.
The clash highlights ongoing political strain in Türkiye’s legislature as the country navigates contentious governance and reform debates.
