Watch: The Turkish presidents bodyguards beat up US protestors after he met with Trump
“The relations between Turkey and the United States have been erected upon common democratic values and common interests.”
That’s what Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said at a White House press conference with US president Donald Trump on Tuesday (May 16). But shortly after the event, Erdogan’s bodyguards proceeded to beat and kick people outside the Turkish ambassador’s residence in Washington DC.
The altercation was captured on camera, and resulted in nine people being hurt, Voice of America said. A photojournalist at the site said it seemed to be a pro-Turkey gathering at first, while some witnesses said the group outside the residence included a person carrying a flag of a Kurdish party in Syria allied with a militia the US plans to aid, over Turkey’s objection.
