Coup Plotters: German Troops

coup plotters: Cavusoglu said Turkey would allow German legislators to visit a NATO base in the central province of Konya, but not Incirlik Air Base, where about 270 German troops are stationed with Tornado reconnaissance jets and a refuelling plane, according to CTV. The German troops at Incirlik are part of the international coalition against the Islamic State group. Speaking after a meeting with his German counterpart that was widely viewed as the last chance to resolve an impasse over the visits, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu called for positive steps on Turkey's requests for Germany to crack down on Kurdish rebels and alleged coup plotters. German deployments abroad require parliamentary approval, and German leaders say it's essential that lawmakers be able to visit troops as they want. She said that we are well-prepared for a relocation. Germany's defence minister said her country's Cabinet will decide Wednesday where we relocate the troops and whether we relocate.
