Germany's government has recommended pulling the Bundeswehr from the Turkish Incirlik air base. The troops at Incirlik could be moved from Turkey to a base in Jordan, DW reported quoting Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen.

The Bundeswehr has about 280 military personnel stationed at Incirlik.

The pullout looked inevitable after testy talks on Monday between German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel and his counterpart in Ankara, Mevlut Cavusoglu, who said Turkey would block a Bundestag delegation from visiting troops stationed at Incirlik.  

The relations between Berlin and Ankara worsened after the Turkish authorities informed the German government about refusing the access of Bundestag deputies to Incirlik.
