    US request to make use of the Incirlik airbase in southern Turkey as
    a logistics centre.

    The government is said to be planning to respond to Washington's
    request before 24 April, a time when wide protests are expected to
    be held on the 90th anniversary of the alleged Armenian genocide on.

    Ankara also stated that there was no serious opposition to the American
    request from the army.
