Guess it's time to turn Turkey into a parking lot.

Two U.S. Marines from an amphibious assault ship visiting a city in western Turkey are safe after they were assaulted Monday by a group of protesters who have attacked American military personnel in previous years.


Turkish authorities said they detained 15 members of the Youth Union of Turkey, also known as TGB, in the physical assault of the service members in the city of Izmir, the Associated Press reported Monday, citing the Turkish news agency Anadolu.


The attack happened at about 3:30 p.m., while the Marines were on liberty, Cmdr. Timothy Gorman, a spokesman for U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, said in a statement Monday.
