Turkish, US Military Chiefs Meet at Incirlik Air Base
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Turkey's military said the country's military chief has held talks with his US counterpart during a previously announced visit to an air base in southern Turkey.
A brief military statement Tuesday said the meeting took place Monday at Incirlik Air Base where US Gen. Joseph Dunford was paying a "Christmas visit" to American military personnel serving there.
The base is home to jets involved in the US-led coalition's alleged campaign against Daesh in Syria and Iraq.
It was the second meeting by the top Turkish and US military chiefs in the past month and came amid the coalition's alleged efforts to dislodge Daesh from its Iraqi bastion in Mosul and the development of similar plans for an offensive in the Syrian city of Raqqa, the Associated Press reported.
