WASHINGTON (A.W.)—Turkish Foreign Affairs Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu recently visited two men charged with the May 16 attack on peaceful demonstrators in Washington and offered them Turkey’s “love and greetings.”
Çavuşoğlu tweeted two photos of himself posing with Sinan Narin and Eyüp Yıldırım, who are seen wearing orange jumpsuits. “While visiting our brothers Sinan Narin and Eyüp Yıldırım, who continue to be tried in Washington, we transferred to them our nation’s love and greetings,” read the Sept. 23 tweet accompanying the photographs.
The two men are among a total of 19 people indicted for beating peaceful demonstrators who were protesting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Washington D.C. visit in May.
Narin and Yıldırım are among 19 suspects accused of attacking protesters outside the Turkish Ambassador’s Washington residence. On June 19, it was reported that United States Marshals had arrested the two Turkish-American men for their role in the beatings.
Narin is a Virginia resident, and Yıldırım is an owner of a construction company in New Jersey. Narin was charged with felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor assault or threatened assault in a menacing manner, while Yıldırım was charged with felony assault with significant bodily injury, felony aggravated assault, and misdemeanor assault or threatened assault in a menacing manner.
On Aug. 20, a grand jury in the U.S. capital issued indictments against a total of 19 people, including 15 members of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s security detail, for their brutal attack.
Ճիշդ նոյն հոգեբանութիւնն է, որ ցուցաբերեց Ալիեւը՝ հայ զինուորը քունին մէջ կացինահար ընող ազերիին հանդէպ:
Why even cover Turkey and its satanic policies and politicians?
We have 125 years of irrefutable evidence that the one thing many – most – Turks have in common is a genocidal hatred of Armenians. Yet, we spend time discussing the newest predictable outrage.
Yes, the FM sits approvingly with a thug;
Yes, the police smiled at Hrant Dink’s killer, and
Yes, the Az. state promoted a man who decapitated an Armenian officer at a NATO training facility.
This is not news. It will be news when they are responsible and well-intentioned neighbors.
It should be written, as some Armenians still believe that the border with Turkey should be opened or that you can have peaceful relations with such nations and have them live in your country. Articles such as these serve as a daily reminder to ultra-left wing armenians that the Turkish Government has not changed its political stance.
My hat off to the genocidal Turks.
They even protect their criminal co-nationals.
We couldn’t get Governor Deukmekjian to release an Armenian freedom fighter in the 80s.
Let those Turks rot in jail. It is a small price for the brutality they committed.
They should have kept him behind bars too.
“Love and Greetings”? The next you know they will be given the Talaat Pasha and Ataturk
Award for brutality on innocent people. Following in the tradition of genocidal leaders.
