party outside the residence.

This is a sign of what is to come. When Islamic supremacists are
emboldened, their violence increases. Erdoğan has become emboldened
recently — even more so since emerging victorious in a referendum that
significantly broadened his powers:

The Turkish republic has always been flawed, but it
always contained the aspiration that – against the backdrop of the
principles to which successive constitutions claimed fidelity – it could
become a democracy. Erdoğan’s new Turkey closes off that prospect.

The jihadist dictator Erdoğan is bent on expanding his powers both inside and outside Turkey. Erdoğan’s temper recently flared against Europe when several European governments refused “to allow his ministers to rally Turkish expatriates.” He also declared
that “Europe is collapsing…Europe will pay for what they have done in
humiliating and oppressing Turks”; and in response to a European
headscarf ban in the workplace, he accused Europe of starting “a clash between the cross and the crescent.”
Now he is so bold as to allow his thugs to behave violently on American soil.

“’Erdoğan’s bodyguards’ in violent clash with protesters in Washington DC”, Guardian, May 17, 2017:

Nine people were hurt and two arrests were made during an
altercation at the Turkish ambassador’s residence in the US capital
during a visit by Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
According to witnesses, a brawl erupted when Erdoğan’s security
detail attacked protesters carrying the flag of the Kurdish PYD party
outside the residence. A local NBC television affiliate reported Erdoğan
was inside the building at the time.
Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Dustin Sternbeck said the
altercation broke out between two groups but he didn’t elaborate on the
circumstances. He said two people were arrested, including one who was
charged with assaulting a police officer.
“All of the sudden they just ran towards us,” Yazidi Kurd
demonstrator Lucy Usoyan told ABC, adding that she was attacked by a
pro-Erdoğan supporter.

“Someone was beating me in the head nonstop, and I thought, ‘Okay, I’m on the ground already, what is the purpose to beat me?’”

The altercation came the same day that Erdoğan met Donald Trump at the White House. The State Department declined to comment.
Earlier Trump and Erdoğan had stood side by side at the White House
and promised to strengthen strained ties despite the Turkish leader’s
stern warning about Washington’s arming of a Kurdish militia.
Fresh from securing his grip on Turkey with a referendum to enhance his powers,
Erdoğan came to the Oval Office with complaints about US support for
Kurdish fighters and what Ankara says is Washington’s harbouring of the
mastermind of a failed coup.
But both leaders also tried to put a brave face on their differences and
to renew a key alliance between Nato’s leading power and its biggest
Muslim member, partners in the fight against the Islamic State group in
Syria and Iraq.
“It is absolutely unacceptable to take the YPG-PYD into consideration
as partners in the region, and it’s going against a global agreement we
reached,” Erdoğan said, referring to the Kurdish Peoples’ Protection
Units (YPG) in Syria.
“In the same way, we should never allow those groups who want to
change the ethnic or religious structures in the region to use terrorism
as a pretext,” he added…..
