Turkey capitulate agrees to let German lawmakers visit troops

turkey,BERLIN – Reuters,

Turkey has agreed to let German lawmakers visit soldiers serving at an air base in Turkey next month as part of a NATO trip, according to a letter from the German foreign minister showed on Aug. 8, after Ankara refused a visit there in July.

A letter from German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel to the head of Germany’s parliamentary defense committee said Turkey had agreed to a NATO proposal for a visit to the air base near Konya on Sept. 8.

Under the plan, NATO’s Deputy General-Secretary Rose Gottemoeller would lead the delegation and take up to seven members of the parliamentary committee with her.

“The Turkish foreign minister has agreed to this proposal,” Gabriel wrote.

Details are reportedly still being worked out about which lawmakers would be included in the visit. Turkey had objected particularly strenuously to participation by members of Germany’s far-left Left party, which Ankara accuses of “supporting terrorists.”

Repeated refusals by Ankara to let lawmakers visit German soldiers at the Incirlik air base in southern Turkey prompted Berlin to relocate those troops to Jordan. Turkey also refused a visit from German MPs to the Konya base planned for mid-July.

Germany’s armed forces are under parliamentary control and Berlin insists lawmakers must have access to them.

On Aug. 7, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan accused Germany of “assisting terrorists” by not responding to files sent from Ankara to Berlin or handing over suspects wanted by the Turkish authorities.

CDA leader Sybrand Buma is also highly critical of the arrangements with the Turks. Rutte has Europe really made in the sale, he said, ,, Turkey may then what it wants and gets it demands ”.

Buma points to the agreements between the EU and Turkey-November. Turkey would stop the boats with refugees towards Greece in exchange for 3 billion. ,, But Turkey has waved the boats, for months, ” said Buma. ,, And now say the Turks: We want to still do what we promised in November, but we want three billion additional, previously visa freedom, and we want a better view of accession to the European Union. Then you will be handed over to Turkey. ”

After the summit on Monday, the Turks want to take back illegal migrants who come to Europe, as EU countries include recognized Syrian refugees in Turkish camps. The EU should not have to provide 3 but 6 billion for the refugee camps in Turkey. Turkey also wants the process to allow Turks to travel visa-free to Europe and the accession negotiations be accelerated to the EU.
