Germany: Turkey Will Ask NATO for Patriot Missiles

Excerpt:

Germany's defense minister stated Monday he anticipates Turkey to make a formal request to NATO for Patriot missiles to strengthen anti-aircraft defenses along the border with war-wracked Syria. "It may be-- I expect it-- that there will be a request by the Turkish government to NATO today for Patriot missiles to be stationed on the Turkish border," Thomas de Maiziere stated ahead of a meeting with his European Union counterparts in Brussels. NATO's Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen stated no such request had actually been obtained yet from Ankara, however that if it was it would be considered "as a matter of urgency. "
"The situation along the Syrian-Turkish border is of great concern," Fogh Rasmussen stated as he arrived for a meeting with the European Union's foreign and defense ministers. "We have all plans in place to defend and protect Turkey if needed," he stated .

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
