Germany to decide about troop withdrawal from Incirlik by mid-June - media

Germany will decide within two weeks whether to withdraw troops deployed at Turkey's Incirlik air force base, a German Foreign Ministry official said on Sunday.

Roughly 250 German troops are based at Incirlik to help in the fight against ISIS militants.

Germany said last week it was considering moving its soldiers from Incirlik to Jordan or another country in the region because the Turkish government refuses to grant German lawmakers access to the site.

"We're still holding talks with the Turkish side about Incirlik and we will work on a solution until mid-June," the German Foreign Ministry official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said.

Turkish officials have told Reuters that a visit by German lawmakers to the German soldiers at Incirlik would not be appropriate at the moment.
