“We've shown the world we don’t really care for our citizens,” said Lusik “Lucy” Usoyan, a Yezidi Kurd born in Armenia. “I’m deeply sad about how it’s turning out. It's undermining our institutions and undermining our fundamental rights.”

Usoyan was among a small but diverse group protesting Erdogan in May 2017 as he arrived at the Turkish ambassador’s residence following a meeting with President Trump. Protesters included Kurds and Armenians, and people upset about Erdogan’s intolerance of dissent.

“federal prosecutors quietly dropped charges against the two men accused of assaulting her.”

Not surprising. The deep state protects their assassins, regardless of country. Our gestapo deep state is still hiding the murderer Lon Horiuchi in witness protection.

Put some ice on it and get used to it.

Most of Western Europe has.
