Germany to pull out from Incirlik air base as Turkey refuses access
Germany has no choice but to begin the process of pulling its forces out of Incirlik air force base in Turkey, Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said on Monday after his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu announced the Turkish government will not allow German lawmakers to visit troops there.
Turkey has prevented German lawmakers from visiting the roughly 250 troops stationed at Incirlik as part of the US-led coalition against Daesh, saying that Berlin needs to improve its attitude first.
Turkey will maintain a ban on visits by German politicians to the key air base in its south which is used for raids against Daesh in Syria, Cavusoglu said on Monday at a joint press conference after a meeting with Gabriel in Ankara.
"At the moment a visit to the NATO base in Konya is possible, rather than Incirlik," Cavusoglu said.
GERMANY’S GABRIEL SAYS PROCESS OF MOVING OUT OF INCIRLIK WILL BEGIN, WANT TO DO THIS PEACEFULLY WITH TURKEY
