Though there are enough pilots for emergency situations, total number of pilots is lower than the necessary limit of Turkish army.
Isik said they are developing a decision to allow the pilots and other servicemen, who were dismissed from the army under the pressure of FETO, to return to the army.
According to him, 162 servicemen fled after military coup attempt and the investigation is underway: “Number of dismissed servicemen may change”.
The Defence Minister also said a Park of Democracy will be built in the area of Akinci Air Base: “All military units in Istanbul and Ankara will be evacuated by September 15, areas of these units will be used by population and the state bodies”.
