The US Department of Defense has denied reports that it will leave Turkey’s Incirlik military base for the Greek island of Crete, the Hurriyet Daily News reported.
Republican Senator Ron Johnson previously said the United States was considering moving its troops and nuclear bombs to the Greek island of Crete amid heightened tensions between NATO allies Turkey and Greece. A Pentagon spokesman denied the information. The US military has no plans to end its presence at the Incirlik military base in southern Turkey, which is of great strategic importance to the alliance.
Washington wants to continue its cooperation with Ankara. “The United States has been operating from the Incirlik base for decades at the invitation of the Turkish government, and our continued presence there demonstrates the strong relationship between the United States and our NATO ally Turkey,” a Pentagon spokesman told Anatolia Agency. .
