ANKARA, Turkey - A fistfight broke out in Turkey 's parliament on Friday when an opposition deputy was attacked after calling for his colleague, jailed on charges of organising anti-government protests but since elected an MP, to be admitted to the assembly.Video footage showed MPs for the ruling AKP party rushing in to punch Ahmet Sik at the lectern and dozens more joining a melee, some trying to hold others back. Blood spattered the white steps of the speaker's podium.
Despite his imprisonment, Atalay was elected to parliament in May last year to represent the Workers' Party of Turkey . Parliament stripped him of his seat, but on Aug. 1 the Constitutional Court declared his exclusion null and void."We're not surprised that you call Can Atalay a terrorist, just as you do everyone who does not side with you," Sik told AKP lawmakers in a speech."But the biggest terrorists are the ones sitting in these seats," he added.
