In 2016, Brauksiepe was affected by the diplomatic resentment between Turkey and Germany due to the Bundestag resolution condemning the Turkish genocide against the Armenians . In mid-July 2016, he was planning an information trip with some members of the Bundestag to locations of German military activities in the Middle East . In addition to the Bundeswehr mission in Northern Iraq and the headquarters of the anti-IS coalition in Kuwait and Qatar , the withdrawing Bundeswehr mission in Incirlik , Turkey, should also be visited. Turkey banned Brauksiepe from visiting Incirlik Air Base ; German politicians are currently not wanted there. Federal Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen addressed this during a visit to Turkey in early July 2016.
