During the visit to Washington, Erdogan's bodyguard to a protestor: "If it was in Turkey, you would be f*cked." (Really?)
RT: https://www.rt.com/usa/337782-erdoga...st-washington/
Security staff carried out a bizarre offensive against protesters calling president Recep Tayyip Erdogan a terrorist
by trying to shout down their chants and destroying their placards.
Following demands by Amnesty International for the Turkish government to address human rights violations against its Kurdish population,
Erdogan’s motorcade was met by angry protesters in the US capital.
Screaming “Terrorist Erdogan” and displaying homemade signs, a group of protesters
are approached by members of the Turkish president’s security detail,
who then proceed to comically yell and drown out the negative chants.
Erdogan Uses A Closed-Door Meeting to Blast Obama Administration
The Turkish president told a gathering of academics and former government officials
that the White House was wrong to back the Kurds in the fight against the Islamic State.
Erdogan is in Washington to meet Vice President Joe Biden
and attend the administration’s 2016 Nuclear Security Summit.
But he is not expected to enjoy a formal meeting with President Barack Obama —
a slight the White House explained away as scheduling issue
but which has been widely perceived as sign of Obama’s frustration
with Erdogan’s increasingly authoritarian actions.
The visit follows the seizure of Turkey’s largest newspaper, Zaman, by authorities
who accused the paper of serving as a mouthpiece for Fethullah Gullen,
a one-time Erdogan ally now charged with attempting to overthrow the government.
After the paper’s staff was gutted and replaced with Erdogan-friendly editors,
State Department spokesman John Kirby called the takeover “troubling.”
