By SELCAN HACAOGLU (AP) – 3 hours ago
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey's military on Friday said it was planning to spend close to $1 billion (euro680 million) for its first long-range missile defense system.
The Turkish announcement came a day after U.S. President Barack Obama canceled a long-planned missile shield for Eastern Europe, replacing a Bush-era project that was opposed by Russia with a plan he contended would better defend against Iranian missiles."
