AKP-parlementariërs vallen critici aan in parlement

Turkish parliamentarians threw punches and water bottles during a debate on Jan. 11 about government control over the appointment of judges and prosecutors, as a feud over the ruling party's handling of a corruption scandal intensified. Ruling Justice and Development Party's controversial lawmaker Zeyid Aslan leapt on a table and launched a flying kick as others wrestled and punched at each other, with document folders, plastic water bottles and even an iPad flying through the air, a Reuters correspondent in the room said.
