Erdogan: Turkey wants control in NATO missile shield
Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has signalled he is open to participating in US-led plans for a NATO missile defence shield but only if Ankara is given significant control over the project, Turkish media reported.
NATO states are expected to agree at a summit this week in Lisbon to extend protection of NATO armed forces from missile attack to cover alliance territory by linking existing national systems to US radars and interceptors, NATO officials say. (Reuters)
