🇹🇷 TürkiyeParty Lawmaker Mehmet Cevdet Selvi, Who Passed Away on August 28. During the Ceremony, Selvi's Biography Was Read, a Moment of Silence

The ceremony concluded after Selvi's body was carried in a procession to the hearse, and his family received condolences at the Parliament afterward. Attendees included Selvi's relatives, along with Yeni Parti (New Party) Chairman Özgür Özel, CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, and lawmakers. Following the ceremony, Selvi's body was taken to Gölbaşı Cemetery for burial after the noon prayer.
A notable moment occurred before the ceremony when Özel and Kılıçdaroğlu shook hands for the first time since the founding of Yeni Parti. The two leaders had ignored each other during the August 30 Victory Day celebrations. Reports indicate the pair left the ceremony without shaking hands again afterward. The two party leaders had previously crossed paths at the funerals of former CHP lawmaker Orhan Sür and Olcay Baykal, wife of former CHP Chairman Deniz Baykal, after the annulment decision but before Yeni Parti's establishment.
