Those of the CHP refused to give their oath, as long as their two new elected members Mustafa Balbay and Mehmet Haberal are sitting in prison, Balbay now for two years without any process in sight.<br /><br />http://en.cumhuriyet.com/?hn=257034<br />http://www.cumhuriyet.com.tr/?hn=256922&kw=Yemin+boykotu+g%F6lgesinde+a%E7%FDl%FD%FE<br />http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=bitter-parliament-opening-2011-06-28<br /><br />Only Oktay Ekşi from the CHP took his oath, because he'd had to be the senior-president of the chamber.
