Turkey summons U.S ambassador over Washington brawl
Turkey summoned John Bass, the U.S. ambassador to Ankara, to its Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protest what it called "aggressive and unprofessional actions" by U.S. semiddle security personnel against Turkish bodyguards in Washington during President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit last week, Fox News reports.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry said the U.S. ambassador was given a "written and verbal protest" against actions that is said were "contrary to diplomatic rules and practices."

It said it had requested that the U.S. authorities conduct "a full investigation of this diplomatic incident."
