nsnbc : Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlüt Cavusoglu visited two of 19 Turkish citizens accused of involvement in a brawl during President Erdogan’s visit to the USA in May when Erdogan’s guards began beating and kicking protesters.
Tensions between the USA and Turkey grew even further when Foreign Minister Cavusoglu, on September 23, tweeted that he visited Sinan Narin and Eyüp Yıldırım and said he passed on “our nation’s love and greetings.” The men were photographed in orange jumpsuits with the minister.
The two defendants are among 19 suspects accused of attacking protesters outside the residence of the Turkish Ambassador to Washington during the May 16 visit by President R. Tayyip Erdogan. Turkey had said the demonstrators were members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) which may or may not be right but doesn’t change the fact that Erdogan’s guards – or Terror Turks as some would call them – overstepped their authorities in a foreign country.
Four people had been detained immediately after the brawl and one of them had later been released on the same day. However, Narin and Yıldırım were arrested in June and charged with multiple counts of assault. The next hearing in their case will be held on October 10. Some unnamed sources from the foreign ministry told Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency that Yıldırım was transferred to the Central Treatment Facility, which had better conditions, and efforts were ongoing for Narin to be transferred there too. They added that the duo was receiving regular visits by consulate officials and their lawyers.
The indictment also accused 15 bodyguards, including the head of Erdoğan’s security detail, which drew condemnation by the president who had stated that “it is clearly a scandalous sign of how justice works in America.” Following a translated interview with Erdoğan during his recent visit last week, U.S. TV show PBS NewsHour reported that the Turkish president had said U.S. President Donald Trump had “said he was sorry” for the incident, which by no means is equivalent to Trump endorsing that Erdogan’s guards behaved like storm troopers at an AKP rally.
Eleven people, most of them Kurdish protesters, were hurt in what the Washington D.C. police chief described as a “brutal attack” on peaceful protesters outside the residence of the Turkish Ambassador during President R. Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to the United States in may 2017. The incident occurred after a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Erdogan at the White House. Attracting international attention and prompting protests against “Erdogan’s terror Turks” in the USA and abroad, the incident further stressed already tense U.S. – Turkey bilateral relations.
