ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - After months of delay, Turkey's Cabinet on Monday approved a long-standing U.S. request to have increased access to a strategic air base for flying into Iraq and Afghanistan.
The decision was another step toward improving relations with Washington that were strained when Turkey refused to allow U.S. troops to stage an invasion of Iraq from Turkish territory in March 2003. http://www.wkrc.com/news/world/story.aspx?content_id=C3EA7345-D485-4CCB-B41E-5096729A6F9D
