Russia’s concern over the US projects would grow softer if the US
anti-missile defense shields were installed in Turkey instead of
Eastern Europe, Chief of the Russian Army General Staff Yuri Baluyevsky
announced in a press conference in Moscow

"Iran can develop long-range ballistic missiles no sooner than 2015. So
why not install the anti-missile defense shields for their prevention
in Turkey?" said Baluyevsky.

"US refusal from joint use of the Gabala radar station in Azerbaijan
will show the real aims of development of anti-missile defense shield
in Europe", he added, according to RIA agency.
