Security staff of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan clashed with protesters in Washington ahead of his speech at a major American think tank.
Erdogan was in Washington on Thursday to attend a major nuclear security summit hosted by President Barack Obama, and was giving a speech at the Brookings Institution, as AFP reports.
Members of the security staff of Turkish president tried to remove about 40 pro-Kurdish protesters who had gathered outside the think tank and were calling Erdogan a “terrorist” and “baby killer.”
