MPs scuffle in Turkish Parliament during voting of law on ‘night watchmen’

Tension rose at the Turkish Parliament on June 9 while MPs were discussing a law proposal on "night watchmen" as lawmakers from the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) ended up engaging in fisticuffs.

The CHP started a strike to slow down a voting session to protest the withdrawal of Istanbul MP Enis Berberoğlu's parliamentary status.
