    TURKEY'S MISSILES TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH NATO SYSTEMS

    Daily Sabah, Turkey

    DAILY SABAH WITH WIRES

    Turkey will make its newly planned long-range missiles compatible
    with NATO systems, presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said on Monday.

    "As one of the most important countries in NATO's security line, we
    will definitely ensure this integration and harmony," Kalin stressed.

    A proposal evaluation process regarding Turkey's long-awaited,
    billion-dollar, long-range missile defense system has not been fully
    finalized, according to an official for Turkey's Defense Industries
    Undersecretariat. Media reports have recently said that Turkey will
    wait until April 24, which is the anniversary of the 1915 incidents to
    select a winner for the missile defense system. Rumors in political
    circles in Ankara said that no decision will be made on the missile
    defense system winner before the date since Turkey wants to first see
    France and the U.S.'s position on the 1915 incidents. An agreement
    may be made with China if the U.S. and French administrations take a
    "pro-Armenian" stance.

    The Turkish Long-Range Missile Defense System Project is one of the
    defense industry's biggest projects in which Chinese, American and
    Italian-French companies are vying for contracts.
