Turkey Makes Veiled Threat Over Incirlik
By Associated Press
January 04, 2017

Turkey's defense minister says a lack of support from Turkey's NATO allies in its operation to clear the Islamic State group from a town in northern Syria is leading many to question the country's permission for the U.S.-led coalition to use its air base.

In the past few weeks, Turkey has complained that the coalition forces aren't providing air cover to Turkish troops trying to capture the key ISIS-held town of al-Bab.

Fikri Isik said Wednesday: "this is leading to serious disappointment in the Turkish public opinion."
