Turkey summoned the U.S. ambassador Monday to object to how U.S. security personnel responded to a brawl between Turkish staff and protesters in Washington last week. “As we noted previously, the conduct of Turkish security personnel last week was deeply disturbing. The State Department has raised its concerns about those events at the highest levels,” said spokeswoman Heather Nauert. The brawl outside the Turkish ambassador’s residence involved protesters critical of the Turkish government and bodyguards for Turkish officials. Video showed Erdogan seated in his official car speaking to diplomatic guards, who began to run toward the protesters.
