German MPs visit Turkish İncirlik base after ban lifted

Seven German lawmakers visited the İncirlik air base lying close to Syria on Oct. 5 to inspect German troops in a highly sensitive visit held up for months due to a diplomatic row.

Ankara had barred the group from visiting İncirlik in southern Turkey after the Bundestag passed a bill that labeled the World War I-era killing of Anatolian Armenians as "genocide."
