Le sort de la base d’Incirlink (USA & OTAN) est un enjeu particuli\u00e8rement important dans la crise actuelle en Turquie, et enjeu sur lequel diverses informations en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral tr\u00e8s vagues et contradictoires ont circul\u00e9. Le site DEBKAFiles<\/em>, proche des services de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 isra\u00e9lien, est, lui, cat\u00e9gorique : il \u00e9crit qu’Incirlink est effectivement encercl\u00e9, coup\u00e9 du reste de la Turquie, et dans une situation de pression pr\u00e9caire avec bien entendu interdiction de vol d’avions US et autres. Cela va par exemple compl\u00e8tement contre les communiqu\u00e9s rassurants du Pentagone, d\u00e8s le lendemain du putsch avort\u00e9, qui s’av\u00e8rent \u00e0 cette lumi\u00e8re un exemple de d\u00e9sinformation bureaucratique.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n C’est une situation extraordinaire et sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent pour une base US \u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger, qui fait partie d’un r\u00e9seau g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et global d’autour d’un millier de bases affirmant l’h\u00e9g\u00e9monie mondiale et bureaucratique des forces militaires US, selon une situation consid\u00e9r\u00e9e en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral comme sacro-sainte dans les conceptions et la psychologie US. Dans ce r\u00e9seau de bases, Incirlink a un r\u00f4le strat\u00e9gique important, comme verrou op\u00e9rationnel de toute la r\u00e9gion du Moyen-Orient, en plus d’\u00eatre une base nomm\u00e9ment de l’OTAN engageant donc toute l’Alliance, avec l’habituel contingent de bombes nucl\u00e9aires US. Il s’agit actuellement d’un des aspects les plus directement d\u00e9stabilisants des relations Turquie-USA lanc\u00e9es dans une course acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9e de d\u00e9gradation depuis le putsch d’autant que, selon DEBKAFiles<\/em>, Erdogan mettrait comme condition de la lev\u00e9e du bloc de la base l’extradition par les USA de Gulen vers la Turquie.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n (Nous \u00e9crivions \u00e0 ce propos le 19 juillet <\/a>: « Il faut noter que l’hybris US a \u00e9t\u00e9 particuli\u00e8rement affect\u00e9 par la visite d’enqu\u00eateurs turcs sur la base d’Incirlink, bastion sacr\u00e9<\/em> (et nucl\u00e9aire)<\/em> de l’investissement strat\u00e9gique US en Turquie. Cette \u00ab\u00a0perquisition\u00a0\u00bb venant apr\u00e8s une interdiction de vol, – sans doute temporaire mais nul ne sait ce qu’il en est exactement, – et une situation confuse<\/a> \u00e0 l’int\u00e9rieur de la base, constitue un camouflet insupportable pour le Pentagone, et par l\u00e0 m\u00eame pour Washington, et d’une fa\u00e7on g\u00e9n\u00e9rale un sacril\u00e8ge insupportable<\/strong>.

In the four days up until Wednesday, July 20, therefore, no air strikes against ISIS in Syria and Iraq have been staged that Turkish base.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n » This extraordinary situation, reported here by DEBKAfile’s military sources, whereby a large group of American military personnel are held virtual captive by an allied government, was almost certainly raised in the phone call that took place Tuesday between President Barack Obama and Erdogan. But the most outlandish aspect of this affair is that no American official has raised it in public – nor even by the administrations most vocal critics at the Republican convention which nominated Donald Trump as presidential candidate. The situation only rated a brief mention in some Russian publications under the heading: \u00ab\u00a0Turkish investigators enter & search Incirlik air base where US nukes are housed.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n » Our military sources report that deep bunkers located near the base’s running strips house B61 tactical nuclear gravity bombs.<\/em> […] The base is under virtual siege by large police contingents, cut off from electric power for several days except for local generators which will soon run out of fuel. This pressure appears to be Erdogan’s method of turning hundreds of Americans on the base into hostages to force Washington into extraditing Fethullah Gulen, whom he accuses of orchestrating the failed coup from his place of asylum in Pennsylvania. <\/em>[…]<\/p>\n<\/p>\n » The Turkish squadron and base commander, Brigadier Gen. Bekir Ercan, is under arrest, suspected of a senior role in planning and executing the coup, by assigning the aircraft and helicopters to support it, responsibility for the disappearance of a large number of aircraft and aiding the defection of air crews to Greece. He is one of the more than 6,000 military personnel including fellow generals arrested on suspicion of active complicity in the coup plot. <\/em>»<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Mis en ligne le 21 juillet 2016 \u00e0 09H53<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Incirlink encercl\u00e9e Le sort de la base d’Incirlink (USA & OTAN) est un enjeu particuli\u00e8rement important dans la crise actuelle en Turquie, et enjeu sur lequel diverses informations en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral tr\u00e8s vagues et contradictoires ont circul\u00e9.
