The deputy parliament speaker declared a 45-minute recess after things turned violent in the house. Atalay is currently serving an 18-year prison sentence on charges of trying to overthrow the govt by organizing anti-government protests.

Parliament stripped him of his seat, but on August 1 the Constitutional Court declared his exclusion null and void.
