96125455 Turkey delayed the construction of a U.S. radar
The Turkish government has not put on a visa permitting an agreement to build a U.S. radar early warning of missile launches at its territory before the end of the session of the General Assembly (UNGA), UN, the newspaper Hurriyet. The newspaper said the final decision will be issued after the talks, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and U.S. President Barack Obama meeting with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. As expected, both the conversation take place within the session of the New York, which opens Sept. 20. According to Turkish law, for entry into force of the agreement with NATO ratification of Parliament is not required, but the agreement must approve most ministers. Government decided to postpone voting on this issue was made in spite of urgent requests from the U.S. to do so immediately. Source newspapers in Washington said that an agreement to deploy the radar on the Turkish territory was the most important document signed by the United States and Turkey over the last 15-20 years, so it's so important for Americans to his execution. On the other hand, neighboring Turkey, Iran is a growing concern about the possible construction, so as not reasonably believes that the station early detection will be directed against him. NATO has just declared that the radar and interceptor missiles stationed in Romania, Poland, and on American ships in the Mediterranean, will cover the sky from ballistic missiles launched from the Middle East, in the first place – from Iran. This is indicated by the location of future radar – 500 km from the western border of Iran. Turkish opposition earlier criticized the government for agreeing to the deployment of American equipment, claiming that it will work not only to defend Turkey, but rather on the defense of Israel. This criticism became particularly acute with the recent cooling of relations between the two countries.
