Presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalın attended a private television channel and explained the public expectations for closing the Incirlik air base in Adana.

Reminiscent of the Moderator, about statements of Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and Minister of National Defense Fikri Işık about İncirlik Base, what does Incirlik do? In response to the question of whether the current situation can be checked, the Presidential Spokesman Kalın replied:

"Incirlik base is a Turkish base. It is used with the permission of Turkiye. So it is here that Incirlik Base is used in ISIS operations as a result of an agreement made with international coalition. Now, of course, here we are expecting from the Americas and expecting from the international coalition, since we are fighting with ISIS completely within the scope of the Euphrates Shield Operation in Al-Bab and we expect this support to be complete as well. Of course, it is unacceptable for us to keep that corridor for that reason and keep the following way open for this reason. So why not give support to this fight bring those questions to the agenda.

"In the sovereign rights frame it is always under our authorization”

The moderator said, "Do we have the right to say that if this situation of Incirlik base continues, we are closing it?" Kalın replied, "In the sovereign rights frame, it is always under our authorization. Evaluation can always be done when it is need on the basis of the developments."

Minister Çavuşoğlu: Our people then say that you are holding them at Incirlik base

Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu stated that the US and Turkiye cooperate with every other area in the explanations made on the Incirlik Base in the past days, saying, "Our people also say that why we keep them at the Incirlik base. We didn’t let only the US but also the airplanes of other countries to fight with ISIS together. So what will we do if you do not give air support against ISIS in the most sensitive operation for us?" (ILKHA)
