Actually Urmia MP Nadir Gazipur has been famous in the social media following similar discussions. He created the group of 'Turk MPs, in the Iranian parliament and a Persian journalist insulted them telling there are no Turks in Iran. Nadir Gazipur beated the journalist. It's how I learnt about him, in the social media. Turkish twitter users greet him as a hero.
