The security detail also apparently tries to eject a journalist from inside the event, where Erdogan is speaking about issues including the Syrian refugee crisis, Turkey in the coming decade, relations with Europe, and Mideast crises.
The institute’s own officials apparently step in to ensure that the journalist remains.
