Turkish government, opposition go head to head over Syria crisis

The Turkish Government and the main Turkish opposition party the Republican people's party went head to head, in Thursdays parliament session. The fight which almost turned violent started when main opposition Republican People's Party deputy ـmit zgümüs took the floor to argue that the Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmad Davutoglu had made a misjudgment on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's fate.

The Republican people's party which is also known as CHP also claimed that the accusations made by Ankara were all lies. Ankara claims the Syrian government is massacring its own people. The CHP representative said the lies being told about the Syrian government are the same as the lies that were used by the U-S to invade Iraq. The U-S claimed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction which latter turned out to be false.

The fight like the one that took place in Turkey's parliament on Thursday, reflects the growing divide between the Turkish government and the country's main opposition C-H-P over the Syrian crisis. Many believe this is an example of the deepening rift in Turkish public opinion. Many say if the crisis in Syria does not end soon, more fights like this one are likely to occur.
