U.S. wants to deploy 48 war planes in the Incirlik base and to make use of the air space for its U-2s. Restructuring its troops in the Balkans, Caucasus and Middle East, the United States asked from Turkey to deploy war planes in Incirlik and Konya bases.

Second Chief of Staff General Ilker Basbug said that “A permission by Parliament and government is necessary for demands going beyond the scope of training.”
