Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has rejected fears that Iran,
which tested an upgraded version of its most advanced missile last
week, posed any threat to Turkey, saying that Ankara enjoys trust and
good relations with all its neighbors, reports Turkish news agency
Today’s Zaman.

"We see no threat from our neighbors… But we have the capacity to
defeat any threat should it arise," Davutoglu told reporters.

He was responding to a recent report in the Turkish media that US
officials have asked Turkey to agree to the installation of NATO
radar devices in its territory as part of a missile defense system.
