Germany mulls withdrawing jets from Incirlik base amid souring ties with Turkey, denied access to German soldiers for a month now
Anonymous Coward User ID: 68568291 Ireland 08/25/2016 09:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Germany mulls withdrawing jets from Incirlik base amid souring ties with Turkey, denied access to German soldiers for a month now German MPs are reportedly considering withdrawing its Tornado aircraft from Turkey’s Incirlik airbase if Ankara continues to deny them access to the German troops deployed there amid escalating tensions between the two NATO allies. The Bundeswehr is evaluating several options, which include moving Tornado reconnaissance jets and refueling aircraft from Incirlik to Jordanian or Cypriot air bases, Spiegel magazine reported on Thursday, citing military sources... Last month, the Chancellor demanded that German lawmakers be allowed to visit the 250 German soldiers deployed at the Turkish base, although she refrained from threatening to withdraw the German task force. However, Rainer Arnold, a defense spokesman for the Social Democrats’ parliamentary faction, told Spiegel “The German government must promptly find other bases for German soldiers.” [link to www.rt.com (secure)] What more evidence do we need that Turkey's leaving NATO and Russia will take over Incirlik? Or that NATO soldiers aren't safe there any more?

Seems a lot is going on behind the scenes that we have yet to be told. 5*

If so why - have they been killed? If they have then it's game on, big time.

Maybe they have locked down the base for everyones safety (benefit of doubt) as it could be very dodgy out amongst angry locals etc? Are any other nationalities stationed their and getting probs?

Quoting: curry nosher Seems Germany's been denied contact for a month now. Well, exactly one month ago: "Some 7,000 armed police in heavy vehicles surrounded the Incirlik air base used by NATO forces in Adana in what a Turkish minister called a “security check.” [link to www.rt.com (secure)]
