Scandal erupted in the course of discussion at G-20 Summit in New York. A scuffle broke out between the bodyguards of Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan and U.S. President Barack Obama.

Erdogan himself turned the blow of American and pushed him away. After the incident, Prime Minister refused to participate in the debates and left the conference hall. The U.S. intelligence officers guarding Erdogan were superseded.
