A brawl broke out in the Turkish Grand National Assembly during budget discussions between the AK Party and CHP groups. The incident occurred when Minister of Youth and Sports Osman Aşkın Bak was addressing the General Assembly regarding his ministry’s budget.

The verbal argument escalated into a physical altercation, leading to the departure of CHP, İYİ Party, Saadet Group, and DEM Party MPs.
After the chaos subsided, opposition deputies returned to the Assembly.
