Turkey and the U.S have signed the agreement to deploy the European missile defense system in Turkey, Trend cites the Sabah newspaper.
According to the agreement, the radar will be installed at the Kurecik base in the Turkish city of Malatya.
An early-warning radar system will be deployed in Turkey, the Turkish Foreign Ministry's official representative Selcuk Unal said earlier.
The diplomat recalled that the decision on deploying anti-missile defense system was adopted at the NATO summit in Lisbon last year. Turkey initially supported the initiative.
The already-established anti-missile defense systems, including Aegis, are planned to be deployed in Europe at the first stage of creating the European missile-defense system. According to the plan, it must be completed this year. The deployment of the radar and interceptor missiles will repel regional ballistic missile threats to Europe.
