American Hellenic Council condemns Turkish security forces’ attack on DC peaceful protesters

American Hellenic Council condemns Turkish security forces’ attack on DC peaceful protesters

YEREVAN, MAY 19, ARMENPRESS. The American Hellenic Council joins with community organizations, such as the Armenian National Committee of America and the Armenian Assembly of America in condemning Tuesday’s unprovoked violence by Turkish security forces against American citizens in Washington DC, the Council told Armenpress.

“The unprovoked attack against peaceful demonstrators by the security detail of Turkish President Erdogan in the Nation's Capital which sent several demonstrators to the hospital is an event that cannot be tolerated anywhere, particularly in the US with its tradition of free speech and protection of peaceful demonstrations. This kind of attack is a pattern that is perpetrated by Erdogan's forces against Turkish citizens themselves. We stand for the right of free and peaceful expression, dignity, human rights and protection of citizens in the US and other countries. Attacks like these are totally unacceptable for any visiting head of state, including Turkey”, the Council said in a statement.

The American Hellenic Council urges all Greek-American organizations to condemn this latest act of Turkish hate and calls upon Congress and the Trump Administration to condemn this assault on American citizens.
