protesters in Washington D.C.



YEREVAN, DECEMBER 22, ARMENPRESS. The two arrested Turks, supporters
of Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who attacked peaceful
protesters outside the Turkish Ambassador’s residence in Washington
D.C., pleaded guilty, Voice of America reports.

The two Turkish-American men, Sinan Narin, 45 of McLean, Virginia, and
Eyup Yildirim, 50, of Manchester, New Jerseypleaded guiltyto the
charges of assault.

The prosecutor demanded one year and one day imprisonment for them.

They are two of 19 people federal prosecutors have accused of criminal
conduct after Erdogan’s May 16 visit to the White House.

The demonstration, which began at Lafayette Square at noon, was
organized by a coalition of organizations, including the Armenian
National Committee of America (ANCA) and the American Hellenic
Council. Several different groups, which included representatives from
the Armenian, Greek, Kurdish, and Assyrian communities, participated
in the protest, while President Erdogan met with U.S. President Donald
Trump at the White House.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
