A number of important factors for Turkey included the both US and Turkey agreeing that in order to make a decision about of the asylum seekers and border security, the Ahmet el Cebr air base in Kuwait must be opened. In order for this to happen, the Turkish bases in Diyarbakir and Incirlik in the South East must also be opened. The opening of the bases will relieve the US, and in return the US can provide the necessary active support for Turkey. The US is currently awaiting a decision from Turkey.
