ANKARA (Sputnik) — The delegation is headed by Deputy Chairman of the Defense Committee of the German Parliament Karl Lamers and included Agnieszka Brugger, Ingo Gaedechens, Florian Hahn, Rainer Arnold, Karl Heinz Brunner and Alexander Neu, the Anadolu news agency reported.
The Incirlik airbase hosts six German Tornado reconnaissance jets aircraft, as well as jets from the United States, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and Qatar participating in the US-led coalition against the Islamic State jihadist group outlawed in many countries including Russia.
On August 29, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said German officials would be able to visit the base provided the German government took steps to distance itself from the Bundestag resolution. On September 2, German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said that Bundestag resolution was not legally binding.
