ANKARA, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Turkey's defence minister said on Thursday the
country does not plan to integrate a new missile defence system with NATO
infrastructure and officials said a $3.4 billion deal with China was still
under consideration.
NATO member Turkey, chose China Precision Machinery Import and Export Corp
as a preferred bidder in 2013, prompting U.S. and Western concern about
security and the compatibility of the weaponry with NATO systems.
Defence Minister Ismet Yilmaz, in a written response to a parliamentary
question, indicated Ankara planned to go ahead with the Chinese system,
saying the evaluation of bids had been completed and no new offers received.
"The system in question will be integrated with the national system for
Turkey's defence and will be used without integrating with NATO," Yilmaz
said. | P**C
