Few mortar rounds fired during the civil war in Syria landed inside the territory of Turkey. Following this, concerned Netherlands and Germany have offered a helping hand to the country.
No such request was made from Turkey but since Netherland and Germany are the only two countries in Europe that have Patriots, therefore they have decided to offer Patriot missiles to NAT's ally Turkey.
On Monday, Turkey would ask NATO to set up these missiles. Only this way, the country would be able to protect its border with Syria as soon as possible.
This report was released on Sunday by the Dutch news agency ANP. The Dutch defense minister, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, is the man behind this initiative. Turkey owes a 900-km long frontier border with Syria and therefore it needs huge protection sources.
ANP also highlighted the views of Dutch minister that she shared with her German counterpart last week. It was in regard of a possible deployment.
On Saturday, a spokesman for Germany's Defence Ministry said that NATO would not let go any kind of request made from Turkey. They would consider it seriously. He also confirmed the availability of appropriate Patriot missiles with the United States, Netherlands and Germany.
