Incirlik air base. "Right now it is possible to visit the NATO base in Konya (in central Turkey), not Incirlik," Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said at a joint press conference with Gabriel in Ankara. In light of Turkey's decision, Gabriel said that Germany would soon start the process of finding another location for its troops. In Berlin later on Monday, German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen said the troops at Incirlik would be moved to a base in Jordan. Relations between Turkey and Germany have been tense since last July's failed coup and deteriorated further over a referendum campaign this year to expand Erdogan's powers.
