Meclis’e ara verdiren tartışma! AKP’li vekil Özgür Özel’i hedef alınca ortalık karıştı!

A debate erupted between the AK Party and the CHP in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey over "sacred values" and "freedom of expression," stemming from comedian Deniz Göktaş's stand-up performance and CHP Group Chairman Özgür Özel's comments on the show. The AK Party group argued that religious values ​​had been insulted, while the CHP group claimed that the ruling party was exploiting religious values ​​to polarize society. The Grand National Assembly convened under the chairmanship of Deputy Speaker Tekin Bingöl. Before proceeding to the agenda, Bingöl gave several MPs one minute to speak from their seats. AK Party Kütahya MP Mehmet Demir, in his speech, criticized CHP Group Chairman Özgür Özel's remarks about comedian Deniz Göktaş at his party's group meeting. Demir claimed that Özgür Özel "passionately defended a so-called stand-up show that mocked the sacred values ​​of our esteemed nation and the Holy Quran from the group's podium," adding, "Humor, art, or freedom of expression do not grant anyone the right to insult the beliefs and sacred values ​​of billions of people. Trying to normalize this reckless disrespect towards our religious values ​​under the guise of humor is a great folly against social peace and freedom of belief. Supporting those who insult our faith is not respect for art, but an attack on the very soul of this nation." CHP's Günaydın reacts: "Özgür Özel is the elected chairman of the CHP." CHP Group Deputy Chairman Gökhan Günaydın took the floor and reacted to Demir referring to Özgür Özel as "CHP Manisa Member of Parliament." Günaydın said, "The Republican People's Party's group leader and elected chairman is Özgür Özel. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan wasn't referred to as an 'AKP Istanbul MP' in the past; it would be beneficial to learn a little respect." Stating that no one disrespects the nation's sacred values, Günaydın pointed to the freedom of thought and opinion guaranteed in Article 25 of the Constitution, adding, "If you don't understand, at least don't come here and make strange statements." AKP's Akbaşoğlu: "It is necessary to distinguish between humor and insult" AKP Group Deputy Chairman Muhammet Emin Akbaşoğlu also stated that there was nothing missing in the MP's statements and defended the use of the term "Manisa MP" for Özgür Özel as well. Akbaşoğlu, commenting on Deniz Göktaş's stand-up show, said, "It is necessary to distinguish between humor and insult or humiliation. No one can insult, humiliate, or belittle this nation's beliefs, customs, and all its sacred values. Performing as a clown does not fall under the scope of freedom of thought. Humor and jokes have their place. Insult and humiliation directed at the nation's values ​​are something else entirely." CHP's Günaydın: "Get up from your orange seats and go out into the streets!" Responding to Akbaşoğlu, Günaydın said, "The last party that should be lecturing people about respecting the nation's values ​​is the AK Party. Because for years you have made politics by exploiting these values, you have polarized people." Günaydın, reacting to the characterization of the stand-up show as "buffoonery," stated, "Let's say that there's no point in having a debate with someone who defines stand-up comedy as buffoonery under the guise of freedom of expression." Günaydın further commented, "Whether you like it or not, Özgür Özel is the legal group leader of the Republican People's Party, and he is also the leader in the hearts of the people. If you want to know your place in the hearts of the people, all you need to do is go out into the streets. Get up from those orange chairs and go out into the streets." Akbaşoğlu, on the other hand, defended the AKP's divisive political approach, saying, "On the contrary, we have produced a political approach that eliminates polarization, promotes reconciliation and normalization. The AK Party is the name of normalization, reconciliation, and a politics of service and achievement." Deputy Speaker of the Grand National Assembly, Bingöl, adjourned the session for 10 minutes following the exchange of insults.
