A verbal disagreement between two members of the General Assembly of northern Cyprus quickly turned into a fistfight earlier today.

The fight erupted when a party leader's 13-hour long speech was disrupted by another member, who claimed that Çakıcı, the pearty leader, was just "rambling on."

Other members soon got involved, turning the verbal clash into a physical confrontation.

The Assembly was put on hold for a 10 minute break. Eventually the session continued, as well as the party leader's speech, which lasted several more hours.
