On Monday, Turkey denied U.S. claims that it had allowed the U.S. to use its base in Incirlik to strike targets related to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. “As far as I know,” Kerry said, “there is no discrepancy with respect to what is going on.”

“[Turkey] has allowed the use of certain facilities and we don’t need to get into specifics except to say that I don’t believe there is a discrepancy,” the secretary of state said.
