Here is some more good news for justice. The filthy Turkish thugs, who started fights with Armenian protesters back on May 16 near the embassy will be charged for their melee.

D.C. police sources said that of the 12 Turkish agents that will be facing charges, seven will be charged with felonies, and five will face misdemeanor charges. Since Erdogan’s detail returned with him to Turkey after the incident, it isn’t clear if any will face legal repercussions in the U.S. However, they could be threatened with arrest should they return. If any remained in the country, they could be expelled if Turkey refuses to wave diplomatic immunity.
Yahoo also reported that police have arrested two men for their part in the brawl: Sinan Narin of Virginia and Eyup Yildirim of New Jersey. Both men are facing aggravated assault charges. Authorities have also charged Yildirim with assault with significant bodily injury.
According to D.C. police, two members of Erdogan’s security were arrested, but were released shortly after. Two other men were arrested at the scene as well, both matching the charges brought upon Narin and Yildirim. It was not made clear what part the two played in the melee, but more information is to be released Thursday, according to The Guardian.
Yahoo reported that police have already identified 34 of the 42 people involved in the brawl and are currently seeking their arrests as well.
While D.C. police and the U.S. State Department faulted Turkish security personnel with starting the brawl, the Turkish government placed the blame on local cops for not providing adequate security to prevent the protest in the first place. It is still not clear how the brawl began, and investigations are ongoing.
