An MP from the Turkish Parliament (TBMM) has called for an investigation into whether the US military base in Incirlik is being used for transfers of weapons and ammunition to Israel through Turkey. CHP Adana MP Tacidar Seyhan has called on Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to answer questions on the matter, noting that information about possible weapons shipments to Israel through Incirlik is leaking through to the Turkish public.
Seyhan asked yesterday:
"In light of this new information, is it true that 15 trucks carrying containers marked 'explosive' and 'USAF' (US Air Force) were accompanied by Turkish gendarmes and special police forces on their way from Incirlik to Tasucu? If these transfers really took place, is there a list of which weapons and explosives are being transferred, and has the list been provided to Turkish authorities?......Have there been any promises made to the US authority on this matter?"
