Representative Hassan Bitemez, who suffered a heart attack in the National Assembly, recently died

Hasan Bitemiz, a representative from the Saadeh Party who suffered a heart attack two days ago after finishing his speech in the Turkish National Assembly, has recently died. Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca announced his death outside the hospital where the afflicted MP was being treated.

“Unfortunately, Rep. Bitemez ended up in the Intensive Care Unit of Ankara Hospital despite doctors’ efforts to keep him alive. His death occurred at 11:50. My condolences to his family, loved ones and party. May he rest in peace,” the Turkish Health Minister said.

The Turkish National Assembly will hold a short ceremony in honor of Hasan Bitmez, while Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the head of the Saadeh Party to offer his condolences.

All of this happened two days ago, during the discussion of the budgets of the House of Representatives, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the higher judicial institutions for the year 2024.
