A Turkish court ruled that the nationalist MHP Vice President, Deniz Bolukbasi, would pay 10 thousand TL (about 6,700 dollars) as damages for mental anguish to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The Prime Minister had sued the MHP parliament member on the grounds that his comments on the Prime Minister during a conference exceeded the limits of criticism and were considered a violation of his personal rights.
