Turkey summons US Ambassador to protest mistreatment of security officials in US

Turkey summoned the US ambassador to Ankara to protest the treatment of Turkish security officials in the United States during an official visit last week, Turkey's foreign ministry said in a statement on Monday.

The United States said last week it was voicing its "strongest possible" concern to Turkey over a street brawl that erupted between protesters and Turkish security personnel during President Tayyip Erdogan's visit to Washington, DC.
