In his post on his social media account, Duran stated that the Turkish Grand National Assembly is the manifestation of the national will, a place where different political views talk, debate and speak on behalf of the nation under the same roof.

"IT IS A SERIOUS DISRESPECTFUL"

Director of Communications Duran said:

"Today, when our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, went to the podium to address the General Assembly on the occasion of the opening of the new legislative year, the New Party Group's leaving the hall is not only a political attitude towards the Presidency, but also a serious disrespect for the national will, state tradition and parliamentary practices. This attitude is a discourteous and inappropriate attitude, not in line with the affection of our Veteran Parliament."
