Turkey 'shuts down Incirlik air base' to stop US jets bombing ISIS after Erdogan blasts: 'You're no friend of Turkey' ... under lock-down in revenge for the nationharbouring last night's “coup mastermind”. ... Erdogan has shut off access to a US airbase in Turkey as he blames exiled Gulen for last night's coup.
Turkey, a NATO member with the second biggest military in the Western alliance, is one of the most important allies of the United States in the fight against Islamic State, which seized swathes of neighboring Iraq and Syria.
The Pentagon said there was no impact on operations against Islamic State from the U.S. air base at Incirlik in Turkey.
Turkey is also one of the main backers of opponents of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in that country's civil war, host to 2.7 million Syrian refugees and launchpad last year for the biggest influx of migrants to Europe since World War II.
