US will no longer supply arms to Turkish President's guard services, even though the purchase agreement was estimated at over $1,000,000. According to Associated Press, this decision was made due to a fight between Recep Erdogan's bodyguards and his opposition in Washington.

We remind you that the Turkish leader visited US in May. The fight began after Erdogan's bodyguards tried to get rid of the protesters.

 

Later, in June, US ambassador to Turkey was summoned to the Turkish Foreign Ministry. The diplomat was informed about their disagreement with the US decision to issue warrants to arrest Erdogan's bodyguards.
