The blame-game continues for the fight between protesters opposing Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Turkish security forces last week in Washington, with Turkey faulting “the inability of U.S. authorities to take sufficient precautions at every stage of the official program.”

John Bass, the U.S. ambassador to Turkey, was summoned to the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday in Ankara and given “written and verbal protest” that blamed the altercation on “aggressive and unprofessional actions taken, contrary to diplomatic rules and practices, by U.S. personnel,” according to a statement by the Turkish government.

“It has been formally requested that the U.S. authorities conduct a full investigation of this diplomatic incident and provide the necessary explanation” of the violence that occurred outside the Turkish embassy in Washington last Tuesday, the statement said.

With the way many US citizens feel about protestors nowadays, they'll probably agree with Turkey on this one.

I dont think other countries would like Trump's crew to go about beating protesters from a different country.

No one foreign leader and their security force should touch native citizens unless its a difect threat. Fuck Turkey.

 

[chekhonte]

Has this event garnered more protesters?

 

[Dead Man]

Well that's pretty fucking shameless from Turkey. Bloody hell.

 

[jacobeid]

Not at all surprised, but pretty shameless look from Erdogan and co.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Has Trump said anything about this?

What a useless sack of shit.

 

[Goofalo]

I mean, Erdogan staged a fake coup to reveal those opposed to him. How else is the Turkish government going to react? They repeatedly violate Greek airspace and use the Syrian Crisis as an excuse to attack Kurds.

An expected response from an authoritarian regime.
