ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkey's prime minister has signaled he is open to participating in U.S.-led plans for a NATO missile defense shield but only if Ankara is given significant control over the project, Turkish media reported.

NATO states are expected to agree at a summit this week in Lisbon to extend protection of NATO armed forces from missile attack to cover alliance territory by linking existing national systems to U.S. radars and interceptors, NATO officials say."
