milletvekili hasan bitmez
In a gripping turn of events, Turkish lawmaker Hasan Bitmez, 53, collapsed in Parliament after vehemently proclaiming that Israel would “suffer the wrath of Allah.”
Mr. Bitmez, the deputy head of Turkey’s Felicity Party, received CPR on the spot before being rushed to a hospital, as reported by Gazete Duvar. Turkish Health Minister Dr. Fahrettin Koca provided an update on Mr. Bitmez’s condition on social media, stating that he was “intubated and brought to Ankara Bilkent City Hospital.”
Dr. Koca’s statement revealed, “Mr. Bitmez fell ill during his speech at the General Assembly of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, and the General Assembly Health Team intervened and started cardiac massage. Our deputy, who was intubated and brought to Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, was immediately taken for angiography. After angiography, he was put on a heart-lung pump and taken to intensive care. I offer him my best wishes.”
Dr. Koca mentioned that Mr. Bitmez appeared “disturbed” during his speech. He assured that medical professionals are closely monitoring Mr. Bitmez, who is currently in the intensive care unit at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital.
During his address, Mr. Bitmez quoted a poem by Turkish writer Sezai Karakoc, asserting, “Even if history remains silent, the truth will not. They think that if they get rid of us, there will be no problem. However, if you get rid of us, you will not escape the torment of conscience or the wrath of Allah.”
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan strongly criticized Israel’s response to the Gaza situation, expressing concern about the loss of humanity values in Gaza due to Israeli actions. Erdogan emphasized the need for concrete steps from international institutions and human rights organizations to prevent such violations in the face of brutality.
