  • More context: Under Turkish law, any elected lawmaker are granted immunity no matter any previous punishment. Can Atalay was elected as a lawmaker from Turkish Workers Party while he was in jail; but he was refused to let go out of the jail.

    The debate about him went all the way to the head law court (AYM); and they essentially said “people elected him, he should be let go, keeping him in jail is not legal”.

    On this parliament debate this was meant to be discussed; however members of the governing party first started provoking other parties; then they initiated a fist fight.

    Well, immunity applies to all elected lawmakers. If you’ve been punched by a lawmaker, you have no grounds to sue it.















  • Palestinians have heavily restricted rights inside Israel territory; unlike Kurds in Turkey who are considered Turkish citizens and have no restrictions in their citizenship rights

    Hamas has been accepting of a peaceful solution; PKK isn’t. Turkey has tried the peaceful option with no success; because it turned out PKK was using the peace negotiation time to trap more buildings with bombs and arm themselves up.

    Main reason behind PKK’s creation was unfair treatment towards prisoners within the areas with high Kurdish population; unlike the whole Palestine-Israel conflict where Israel’s idea started from the thought of ethnic cleansing of their area.

    I can’t find any reason why these two would be comparable whatsoever.
