After US President Joe Biden’s recognition of the Armenian Genocide, Turkey must immediately establish full control over Incirlik Air Base and return the deployed US troops to the United States. This is what leader of Homeland Party Dogu Perincek said in an interview with TASS today.

This isn’t the first time Turkey is speaking out about the possibility of closing the air base for US soldiers. Such rhetoric of Ankara usually sparks in light of threats from Washington, but there hasn’t been any specific action yet.
