NATO: Turkey Wants Use of Air Defense Missiles
2012-11-22
[An Nahar] Officials say Turkey has requested deployment of NATO's
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants...
Patriot air defense missiles over concerns about Syria's civil war.

Turkish officials have become increasingly concerned about the civil war spilling over the border. A statement from the Turkish government said the request has been made in the "face of risks from the ongoing crisis in Syria."

NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Wednesday on Twitter that "allies will discuss this without delay."

German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said he had told the German ambassador to Turkey "to receive positively such a request."

Westerwelle says "it would be a serious mistake if we were to refuse defensive support to a NATO member country in a moment when this member country feels that it is exposed to attacks from outside."

#3  Turkey hasn't really been attacked yet - just a few random artillery shells. Israel gets that almost every day - and those attacks are deliberate. Turkey calls Israel a terrorist state for fighting back. So is Turkey a terrorist state? Or will they sit there and take it, the way they want Israel to?
