Default Guards from Turkish embassy in DC assault protesters

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/ple...cid=spartandhp

I am trying to find out who the protesters are. I am sure they are lefties, so I don't give a shit that they were beaten. However, allowing thugs from an embassy to invade US space and assault people at will is unacceptable. They certainly would not allow that from US.

Kurds and Armenians.

I wonder which NGOs paid them to be there.

How nice. They needed beating, but by WNs not a foreign entity.

I don't understand why Armenians would march with Kurds, I mean if you are going to protest Turkey for the genocide and act as if the Kurds are not guilty of the same?

Oddly,

Armenian National Committee of America:


Among the protesters’ chants was: “Long live Kurdistan; long live Armenia.”

WASHINGTON – A diverse group of Armenians, Kurds, Greeks, Cypriots, Yezidis, human rights groups and even various opposition Turkish political factions protested Turkish President Recep Tayip Erdogan’s repression at home and aggression abroad in a heated demonstration which forced the closure of one of Washington, DC’s busiest streets for over an hour, reported the Armenian National Committee of Greater Washington.

Holding banners calling out Turkey’s ongoing Armenian genocide denial, crackdown on the country’s Kurdish community, and support for ISIS forces in Syria – protesters spotlighted Turkey’s democratic decline under President Erdogan’s rule, a view gaining increased support in Washington’s political circles in the days leading up to his U.S. visit. Among the protesters’ chants was: “Long live Kurdistan; long live Armenia.”

Pro-Turkish government counter-protesters wearing “We love Erdogan” T-shirts and holding “We Heart Erdogan” signs chanted their praise for the dictator. Erdogan security personnel were seen attacking protesters and needed to be subdued by Washington DC police. At least one Turkish reporter was pushed and another forced to the ground and beaten by Erdogan’s security team. Another reporter was forced out of Brookings Institution venue, prior to Erdogan’s arrival. Turkish journalists tweeted the surreal circumstances of the protest throughout.
