Turkey has objected to legislation passed by the United States House of Representatives. The Turkish foreign ministry said it called a meeting with the U.S. ambassador in Ankara after the House approved the legislation on Tuesday. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that his country’s parliament will answer the action, but gave no other details. One bill is aimed at punishing Turkish officials involved in the decision to send Turkish troops into northern Syria. Supporters of the bill say the Turkish offensive resulted in human rights abuses against ethnic Kurds in the area. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the bill by a vote of 403 to 16. Erdogan said on Wednesday that Turkey “strongly condemns” the sanctions against Turkish officials and its army.
