Batteries would have arrived in Turkey in first few days of 2013.
ANKARA -- Germany's national assembly, Bundestag, is expected to hold a voting on deployment of air-defense missile batteries in Turkey against possible threat from Syria, German sources familiar to matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told The Anadolu Agency.
The deployment of two Patriot batteries along with an estimated 400 German soldiers along Turkey's border with Syria got a green light last week from the German Cabinet as part of a NATO request to help Ankara boost its air-defense capabilities to shoot down any missiles which might be fired from across the Syrian border.
