German Military Starts To Pull Out From Turkey's Incirlik Base Following Row With Ankara

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 16 hours ago
*DW:* *Germany starts to withdraw troops from Turkish Incirlik base* Germany has started to withdraw troops from a Turkish air base where they have been supporting international operations against the so-called "Islamic State." This follows a row with Ankara over access to the base. The motion to pull the troops out of Incirlik had been approved by the German parliament in June, after parliamentarians had repeatedly been refused access to the roughly 260 soldiers stationed at the facility. Turkey had denied German lawmakers requests to make what they saw as routine visits to the b... more »
