In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms.

On March 4, a politician from the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) criticized Erdogan by using the same words the president used to insult the CHP leader, setting off a brawl at the Ottoman Turkish parliament. A politician from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) punched CHP politician Engin Ozkoc numerous times. A prosecutor then launched a probe against Ozkoc on charges of "insulting the president."
