TURKISH presidential bodyguards violently attacked pro-Kurdish protesters in Washington on Tuesday after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met Donald Trump.
Demonstrators rallied outside the Turkish embassy in the afternoon, some carrying flags of the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) and its militia the YPG.
They were met by another group carrying printed placards reading: “Stop PKK-YPG/ PYD-Isis terror.”
