Turkey formally approves opening air bases to US-led coalition

The Turkish cabinet has formally approved an understanding with the United States which includes opening its air bases to the US-led coalition against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants, the Turkish foreign ministry said on Wednesday.


The understanding only concerns the fight against ISIL and does not include air support to Kurdish fighters in northern Syria, spokesman Tanju Bilgiç told reporters in a briefing.
