Germany found possible alternatives to the Injirlik airbase in Turkey. "From a military point of view, military bases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Cyprus can function well," reads the German government's reply to the inquiry of the deputies of the Bundestag from the Left Party, Deutsche Welle reports.

Representatives of the Bundeswehr visited three military sites in Jordan and Kuwait, as well as Akrotiri and Paphos bases in Cyprus, the document states. The German government has been yet conducting negotiations with these countries about conditions under which Bundeswehr can use these military bases.

In connection with the recent aggravation of relations between Turkey and Germany after a ban on Turkish politicians to conduct pre-election campaign in Germany, a number of Bundestag MPs, both from the ruling coalition and the opposition, called on German Chancellor Angela Merkel to withdraw the Bundeswehr contingent from the Injirlik base.

Last year, Ankara for several months prohibited the deputies of the Bundestag to visit German servicemen in Injirlik in response to the resolution of the German parliament, which recognized the massacre of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire as genocide.

About 270 soldiers and officers are located on the Injirlik base in eastern Turkey, who support the international coalition led by the United States in the fight against the Islamic State.
