Russia is concerned about missiles on Syrian border

Russia's Foreign Ministry expressed its concern about Turkey's
intention to deploy "patriot missiles" on its border with Syria,
RIA Novosti reports.

"Militarization of the Turkish-Syrian border is an alarming signal.
Our advice to our Turkish colleagues is to use their influence on the
Syrian opposition to draw them closer to dialogue, instead of flexing
muscles and turning the situation into a dangerous route," RIA-Novosti
quotes ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich as saying.
NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Wednesday that
Turkey's request to deploy the missiles would be considered soon.
Ankara says the missile system is necessary to protect its border with
conflict-torn Syria.
