Turkey protests over 'aggression' against bodyguards in US

Turkey has summoned the US ambassador in Ankara to protest over what it called "aggressive and unprofessional actions" by US security personnel against Turkish bodyguards in Washington last week.

The move appears to be in retaliation over calls in the US for strong action against Turkish security officers who were seen hitting and kicking protesters outside the Turkish ambassador's residence in Washington during Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit to the US.
