Protesters chanted slogans denouncing Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, including: "Down with Erdogan!"

Lebanese policemen deployed around the embassy and erected barbed-wire barriers to prevent protesters from approaching.

"All the Kurds here in Lebanon are supporting Afrin and saying long live the resistance of Afrin," said protester Hanan Osman.

Turkey launched the offensive against Afrin on January 10 and is vowing to expand the operation eastward, toward the border with Iraq.
