Germany, Turkey make progress in Incirlik air base visit dispute![]() August 29, 2016 - 12:40 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Germany and Turkey have made progress in resolving a dispute over Turkey's refusal to allow German lawmakers to visit 250 troops stationed at Incirlik Air Base, European Affairs Minister Michael Roth told broadcaster Suedwestrundfunk on Monday, August 29, according to Reuters. Roth, who just returned to Germany from a visit to Ankara, said he saw "great movement" on the issue, and hoped it could be resolved soon. Turkey, angered by a resolution passed by the German parliament in June that recognized the Armenian Genocide of 1915, has denied German lawmakers access to the base. Six German surveillance jets and a refueling tanker are using the base to support the U.S.-led coalition's strikes on Islamic State. ![]() ![]() Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert.
