Turkey threatens to close Incirlik airbase for US aviation

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Chavushoglu said that Ankara is considering the possible closure of the Incirlik airbase for the United States because of Washington’s unfriendly policy.


Turkey threatens to close Incirlik airbase for US aviation


In his statement to A Haber, Cavusoglu noted that Turkey is trying to improve relations with the United States, but the American authorities do not want to go to a meeting. The main reasons for the controversy, he called the failure of Turkey to extradite opposition politician Gulen, support for the Kurds in Manbidzh, as well as some other problems. Also, the Turkish Foreign Minister added that the Turkish people oppose the presence of American aircraft in the country.

Recall that relations between Turkey and the United States are in crisis due to the support provided by Washington to Kurdish forces in Syria (YPG), which Ankara considers terrorist because of its ties with the Kurdistan Workers Party banned in Turkey. Ankara also demands that the United States extradite an opposition preacher, Fethullah Gulen, who was allegedly involved in organizing an attempted coup in July 2016. Recently, frictions between Turkey and the United States have also arisen on the issue of buying the Russian C-400 air defense system. Washington is trying to put pressure on Turkey in order to prevent the supply of air defense systems to the Turkish army, but Ankara rejects the claims of the American side in every way, declaring unfriendly US policy towards the Turkish state.

Incirlik airbase belongs to Turkey, not NATO, therefore Ankara has all rights to expel the American air force from its territory.

          It's a good news. Still it is necessary to import nuclear weapons into America from there and there will be a complete order in this matter.

      Do not close. They will agree on some compromise solution, for example: the SGA will forget about the S-400 and put them the F-35.

        Truly ... questions! Erdogan is playing with fire. He was lucky that our GRU warned him in time in the 2016 year ... otherwise Turkey would have had another sultan.
        I think the States will not let such a market pass by and take measures to "import substitution" ... I wonder how deeply Taipch mowed the weeds of treason and how much he strengthened his personal guard so that it would be so free to send exceptional ones on a "long erotic journey" ...
        Gulen and supporters, too, are not asleep.
        So the Central Intelligence Agency has a base for a velvet revolution such as "Turkish coffee"! bully

          While the game is on, they are being traded and Trump must understand this, a businessman after all.
          They will look for the same GOOD DEAL!
          But if you don’t succeed, they don’t converge in price, various variants of events can happen!
          We will see if the deal takes place or is broken.

    In general, it’s good when there is competition ... This scandal is on hand for the Turks:
    1. Buy modern S-400 air defense cheaper than Patriot
    2. Get a discount on Patriot ...
    3. Receive a discount on F-35
    4. Buy 2pcs Su-35S instead of the 1st F-35 ...

    And the Hindus are closely watching US sanctions ...

    Turks may lose the straits and the euro part - the influence in the world of different players is changing. Europe has turned away from them and they are from the EU.
    forces come and go. and you should always eat.
    It is believed that the Greeks would gain control of Constantinople.
    what will the Turks get for this? - freedom of choice and life on their own.
    part of Syria? and Iraq? and Armenia?

      The presence of straits in the Turks is the status quo of the time when the forces of the Empires of the Russian and English and French ended at about the place of Bulgaria. So we chose this result. Now the situation is different.

    Not enough to want. We must also be able to. It is unlikely that they will drop into the territory of the base with tanks and force everyone to collect manat. But in another way, the Americans will not leave.
