Turkey Under Any Danger?

It seems that Turkey is under a big danger from a spillover of Syria's civil war but NATO experts are putting in their best efforts to deploy the Patriot surface-to-air missile and defend Turkey.

In context to which, a NATO spokeswoman said on Friday that expectations are higher that NATO allies will soon deploy the Patriot surface-to-air missiles but the procedure could take few weeks to see the result.

Turkey since sometime before was continuously in talks with the NATO allies for the security add-ons on the 900-km (560-mile) border, for which, it has also formally asked for the Patriot missiles earlier this month. Now, the NATO experts are in Turkey to find out appropriate sites and place the missiles, which if deployed, would be taken over by NATO's top command.

Officials await the team to report back to NATO enabling the commanders to draw up a recommendation to alliance ambassadors regarding same; most probably they can give a go-ahead early next week.

"I would expect that if the decision is taken it could take several weeks to deploy, rather than months", NATO spokeswoman Ms. Oana Lungescu said."Who has the finger on the button? It's NATO, and Turkey is a full member of NATO", she told a media briefing.
