“... the base has become a point of contention for Turkish nationalists with over 5,000 nationalists charging towards the base on Thursday chanting “death to the US” and demanding that the “Yankees go home” or that the Incirlik base be shuttered immediately.”
“Then on Saturday, over 7,000 armed Turkish security forces joined by heavy vehicles surrounded the Incirlik Air Base restricting any access to or away from the facility.”

Have the Turks made a side deal with Iran?
IIRC, the Turks cut-off the power to the base a few weeks ago.
I’m sure that the detention of the Turkish Brig. Gen. Bekir Ercan Van, [top commander at Incirlik Air Base], who was implicated by Turkish authorities in the attempted faux coup is in play here.
I think they made a side deal with Obama...
