Sırrı Süreyya Önder makes parliament breathe

Sırrı Süreyya Önder, the deputy speaker for the Turkish parliament, has restored human dignity to the parliament, allowing everyone to breathe, argues Fréderike Geerdink. "Even if you were to threaten my life, I would not interfere with a person’s mother tongue,” Önder had said, after arguments over DEM MP George Aslan's use of the Syriac language in parliament.
