Patriot missile systems will be deployed in three Turkish
cities of Kahramanmaraş, Gaziantep and Adana, NATO announced in a statement
released today. The U.S. will deploy its Patriot batteries in Gaziantep, while
Germany and the Netherlands will deploy the air defense systems in
Kahramanmaras and Adana respectively. The deployment will take place over the
next few weeks.
“The aim is to deter any threats to Turkey, to defend
Turkey’s population and territory and to de-escalate the crisis on NATO’s
southeastern border,” said NATO in its statement. (Hurriyet Daily News, 24
December)
NATO’s deployment of Patriot missile systems in Turkey takes place
amid strong Iranian objections. Last week, the chief of staff of Iranian armed
forces said the deployment is meant to start a “world war.”
