Turkish PM’s minders fight with UN security staff

A brawl involving the Turkish Prime Minister has been caught on camera inside the United Nations (UN) headquarters in New York.

A brawl broke out between Turkish officials and U.N. security members last Thursday after a misunderstanding led to the Turkish diplomats being brought to the wrong area of the building. When U.N. security said the diplomats couldn’t enter, the Turkish security detail got violent. In fact, there are allegations that the Turkish security team even “elbowed” and “threw” female guards.

The New York Post explains: “Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu’s security team members became aggressive after they were escorted to the wrong floor during Thursday’s session, sources tell us. After being told they couldn’t enter that area by UN security, they “pushed their way onto the floor, screaming, shoving and stomping on UN security,” witnesses said, as the group tried to push in to hear the debate over Palestine.

A female UN security officer was elbowed in her chest and suffered several bruises while a high-ranking uniformed officer was left with bruised ribs. “They acted like thugs,” said our source. “United Nations security isn’t allowed to use force, and the Turkish staff had diplomatic immunity.”

Another witness told us that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan — who made his first speech before the UN on Thursday, blasting Israel for “building new barriers to peace” — was also present, and one of his guards “picked up a female UN security officer and threw her across the room, before UN security “jumped on” the Turkish guard.”

Ah yes, the good old Anatolian aggression.

Nothing surprising I'm afraid.

Toorkish security team even “elbowed” and “threw” female guards.

So they turn ghetto in a blink of an eye.
That woman was lucky they didn't stone her to death. Arrogant Muslim bas**ards.

The truth is coming out...

Turkey Takes Thuggishness to a New Level

One of the most interesting but under-reported stories at the United Nations General Assembly this past week was the brawl which developed between Turkish security agents escorting Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and UN security officers. Colum Lynch at Foreign Policy has been all over the story, not only breaking it, but now he has supplied amateur video of the melee. Short synopsis: Erdoğan and his detail tried to force their way through a secured door and resorted to fisticuffs when they didn’t get their way. Two UN employees were injured, one of whom had to go to the hospital.

Interestingly, Turkey—a country where press freedom has tumbled under the leadership of Erdoğan—did not initially report the incident. A Turkish journalist, however, did say that United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon subsequently apologized to Erdoğan for the incident. This in turn infuriated UN security officials who appear to have done nothing wrong.

Erdoğan is thuggish in personality and in policy. No diplomat or official should enable him. Apologizing to Erdoğan is like offering crack to an addict. By Erdoğan’s own logic, rather than have UN officials genuflect, shouldn’t he apologize and pay compensation to the injured party? And shouldn’t the UN recognize that officers, when attacked, not only have the right to but should also defend themselves? Probably the only thing that hasn’t happened yet (but there’s still time) is for accompanying minister Egemen Bağış or a member of his delegation to accuse the UN officers of having Jewish blood, as they did the Bulgarian foreign minister.

It’s time to stop tolerating this Turkish nonsense and, despite the steady stream of affirmation the Turkish press provides their leader, let Turks know Erdoğan’s antics are a permanent stain on their reputation.
