A brawl broke out in Turkey's parliament over the appointment of Akın Gürlek as Justice Minister, leading to clashes between ruling AK Party and opposition lawmakers. The opposition attempted to block Gürlek's oath, citing politically motivated trials he oversaw against their members. The session was adjourned briefly, and Gürlek was eventually sworn in. Erdoğan also appointed Mustafa Çiftçi as interior minister amidst ongoing corruption probes involving opposition figures, including Istanbul's mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu. The Cabinet reshuffle coincides with discussions on constitutional reforms and peace initiatives with the PKK. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
