   In todays HDN a Turkish spokesman has denied it will be a fixed military structure, merely a " Guesthouse " for visiting military staff.

  That's some bleedin' guesthouse for 65 million Euro's. Some fast backtracking going on I think.

5 million Euros for the building and 60 million Euros for the backhanders

Load of old bollox from the government again.  They dont want "the people" to know how quickly they'll sell foreign powers the rights to have military bases in Turkey.

Germany is planning to open an air base in southern Turkey that will assist its military in an intensified campaign against the Islamic State group in Syria. The planned $73 million base will be built as an extension to the Incirlik base, which both the German and U.S. military use for refueling missions to Syria, Spiegel reported.

The new base is expected to include an air control center for German military aircraft, accommodations for soldiers and a combat headquarters. The news comes as Turkey is reportedly discussing a treaty to station German soldiers for extended deployments on Turkish soil, the Local reported.

All sounds a tad more permanent than a hut with bunks...
