BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany said on Monday it does not expect Turkish security and police officers who were charged with assault after an attack on protesters in Washington to accompany Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan to next week's G20 summit in Hamburg.

The charges against some members of Erdogan's security detail came after a May 16 skirmish during his visit to the U.S. capital last month in which nine protesters were injured outside the Turkish ambassador's residence.
