Speaker of Parliament in Türkiye. What are the benefits of Szymon Hołownia’s visit?

Correspondence from Ankara

A cafeteria at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, early Friday, Sept. 20. The base is one of the most important facilities of its kind in the region, a strategic installation primarily belonging to the U.S. Air Force and the Turkish Air Force.

Somewhere inside this giant complex is a warehouse that most likely – no one has officially confirmed this for sure – contains American nuclear weapons stored as part of the Nuclear Sharing program. Since 2021, a Polish military contingent has also been stationed here. Sejm Speaker Szymon Hołownia, who has been visiting Turkey since Wednesday, is currently meeting with its members. His first point was a meeting with President Erdogan, the last – Incirlik. This is the 7th change of the Polish contingent.

Several dozen soldiers on the terrace of the canteen were waiting for the marshal who had previously met with the base commander. Hołownia was accompanied by a delegation headed by the most important adviser – the head of the Sejm Chancellery, Minister Jacek Cichocki, and everything was reported by journalists from the main Polish media who also accompanied the trip of President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Donald Tusk as a “traveling press corps”. Hołownia first took off his tie and started talking to the soldiers.
