Burak Bekdil ANKARA – Hürriyet Daily News
Turkish officials provide reassurances that a new Chinese-designed missile defense system worth $3.44 billion will integrate into the alliance’s system
A controversial air and missile defense system Turkey intends to buy from a Chinese manufacturer will be automatically integrated with NATO assets stationed in Turkey, the country’s top defense procurement official has revealed in an effort to allay concerns about the recent purchase.
Murad Bayar, head of the Undersecretariat for Defense Procurement, told the Hürriyet Daily News that full integration with NATO assets was an explicit condition in the contract for the planned air defense system.

Zitat:Turkey says missile system deal process not finalized
ANKARA – Hürriyet Daily News
Turkey’s selection process with China to acquire a long-range anti-missile system still continues and hasn’t been finalized, Turkish officials say in order to clarify the concerns of the NATO allies
Turkey has reiterated that the selection process for a contract to acquire its first long-range anti-missile system was still ongoing. Ankara has agreed on a Chinese company, despite unease from NATO and the U.S.
“The process has not yet been finalized,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Levent Gümrükçü said yesterday at a press briefing.
The Foreign Ministry confirmed that Turkey had been in talks with NATO over the past few days, adding that the exchange of views with NATO allies was “only natural.”

Die westlichen Verbündeten zeigen sich sogar besorgt weil die Türkei ihre Satelitten selbst ins All schiessen will. Ich denke sie haben kein Interesse daran das sich die Türkei schrittweise von der NATO emanzipiert !
