Heh....

There was a fistfight in the Turkish parliament on Thursday (Hat Tip: Joshua I).
An argument started between Mehmet Metiner from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and Veli Ağbaba from the main opposition Republican People’ Party (CHP) after Metiner reacted to some expressions Ağbaba used while he was addressing the assembly.

The argument between the deputies heated up and Metiner slapped Ağbaba. Metiner then squeezed Ağbaba’s throat as other deputies moved to separate the two. Ağbaba reportedly yelled, “Who do you think you are? Who is this bandit?” as the deputies dragged the two apart.

AKP deputy Halide İncekara, meanwhile, reacted to photographers who were taking pictures of the scuffle and reportedly said: “What’s this? What are you photographing? Is there anything to see here? What are you doing?”

The CHP deputies requested that Metiner be reprimanded in accordance with the parliamentary bylaw but the demand was rejected via the votes of AKP deputies.
Let's go to the videotape (there are three of them).







After the fight ended, CHP deputies threatened to bring guns to the parliament the next time. That would be really cool.
