Bloodied nose and broken finger in Turkey parliament....

Political turf on Turkey is showing strange sign of growing frustration of parliamentarians with Turkey government and its Prime minister Tayyip Erdogan. It is believed that Tayyip is trying to change the law in his favor to have more power over judiciary so that he can control the graft charges investigation against his government.  An unusual scene at the parliament last Friday seen one lawmaker broke his finger and the other had bloodied nose.

The judicial bill is said to be Tayyip's latest attempt to survive the corruption investigation against him that is supposedly started by supporters of Islamic cleric Fateullah Gulen, who live in exile in Pennsylvania, US and whose supporters have deeply rooted in Turkey's Police and judiciary. Although the president still need to sign this bill and it will be challenges in the constitutional court, the big debate is over the separation of power on Turkey's political ground.
