At the Lisbon summit Turkish President Abdullah Gul said that the NATO agreement to build a missile shield over Europe meets Ankara's demands, YnetNews.com reports. An alliance member that maintains close ties to neighbouring Iran, Turkey had refused to let NATO name Tehran as a threat. At the Lisbon summit NATO leaders didn't explicitly identify any potential enemy, although Iran is its main concern.
The state-run Anatolia news agency quoted Gul as saying on Saturday that the agreement is within the acceptable parameters. According to the project, a limited system of US anti-missile interceptors and radars is already planned for Europe and will include interceptors in Romania and Poland and possibly a radar in Turkey, which would be linked to expanded European-owned missile defenses.
