Ankara could permit Russia to use Incirlik air base for the operations against the terrorists of the Islamic Sate, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Causogllu said.

“We will cooperate with everybody who is fighting Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL),” Cavusoglu said, in an interview with TRT television, TASS reported.

Ankara has opened the base to the countries wishing to fight against terrorists, he said.

“Why not cooperate with Russia in the same manner? Turkey is ready for such cooperation. Terrorism is our common enemy. Joint efforts are important to avoid negative incidents [among sides fighting ISIS],” the minister said.
