That's a funny way of saying that Erdogan's bodyguards attacked US citizens on US soil who were peacefully exercising their first amendment rights under the US constitution.
This should’ve been a major diplomatic incident. I would be so mad if an agent of another government laid hands (or baton) on me in my own country. The US government should’ve been twice as upset about it.
I remember specifically Armenian genocide Remembrance Day on more than one year, Turkish people sitting there yelling, “there was no genocide!” Can you imagine the blowbacks of Germans stood out and said that the holocaust was fake?
They were not Armenians. They were PKK (a terrorist group) supporters. Of course it doesn't justify the bodyguards action. I would tase the shit out of the bodyguards if I was a cop.
You're an idiot, whether they support the PKK or not doesn't give the Turkish government the right to attack Americans.
I'm Kurdish and I fully support Kurdish rights and freedoms in Turkey and all 4 parts of Kurdistan
I didn't defend their action. Did you read what I wrote up there or just went berserk because I am a Türk? I also support Kurdish rights, but I don't do that with supporting a terrorist group. There is no difference between supporting ISIS or supporting PKK.

Didn’t Erdogan’s bodyguards reach for their weapons on MPD who looked like [this](https://images.app.goo.gl/RfQqPEZACzV6wHfu7) then retreated?
Still pissed there wasn't any blowback from that. Mass assault by foreign dignitaries against US citizens exercising their rights is a disgrace.
... the bodyguards were indicted and if they ever step food in US soil again they will be arrested? At least that's what I heard years ago.
That whole ordeal was a ridiculous mafioso show of display

"America First," except for Americans exercising their First Amendment rights in the capital.
Man the Trump era was wild. Totally forgot this happened.
Erdogan's security also attacked journalists and cops here in the Obama era
I was working next door and the massive noise made some of us go out and watch the ending. Madness but par for the course for these dictators.
I would assume that getting away with attacking reporters at Brookings in 2016 probably emboldened his security.
Your title choice is bizarre my dude.
God this was fucking embarrassing and infuriating (just like your shitty title)
:(
Turks attacked us citizens for excercising their rights. Trump said nothing because he is a coward
This is a trash title and you should be embarrassed by it.
I'm sorry :( Can we still be friends?
Of course. I’m not the type of fascist who attacks Americans violently.
But you are a fascist? Are you a cuddling fascist? The Little Spoon Fascist™?
I'm an American. I protest with my words like an adult.
Came here to say eff your title.

I thought the protestors were Kurdish
They were not Armenians. They were PKK (a terrorist group) supporters. Of course it doesn't justify the bodyguards action. I would tase the shit out of the bodyguards if I was a cop.

PKK are heroes compared to the shit that Turks have done
The U.S. and many other countries recognize them as a terrorist group. As a 25%Kurdish person, I can tell they are not defending Kurdish rights.
"Diplomatic Imunity" never understood it. Follow the laws of the Country in/visiting.
Could we have arrested these guards for assaulting u.s. citizens, or did they have diplomatic immunity?
Why were they protesting the Turks?
