ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey says it has summoned to the U.S. ambassador in Ankara to protest what it called “aggressive and unprofessional actions” by U.S. security personnel against Turkish bodyguards in Washington during President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit last week.
The move Monday appears to be in retaliation to calls in the United States for strong action against the Turkish security officers who were seen hitting and kicking protesters outside the Turkish ambassador’s residence in Washington during Erdogan’s visit.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry said the U.S. ambassador was given a “written and verbal protest” against actions that is said were “contrary to diplomatic rules and practices.”
It said it had requested that the U.S. authorities conduct “a full investigation of this diplomatic incident.”

If it’s conducted by State department pros they won’t like the investigation’s conclusions. However, I expect Comrade Cockholster to issue Erdoğan a full apology, along with glowing admiration for the way Erdoğan’s bodyguards handled the “situation.”
Goons of a feather, you know.
Last time a checked, this isn’t Ankara, and that shit doesn’t fly here despite a pair of would be dictators in Turkey and America.
I guess Trump and Erdogan didn’t became BFFs then ?
Maybe Erdogan should buy a new agent in the White House.
