\n

Turkish protesters have rallied in the capital, Ankara, to protest against the deployment of NATO Patriot missiles along their country’s border with Syria.<\/p>\n

The demonstrators urged the parliament on Tuesday to take action and cancel the deployment of NATO missiles and troops in Turkey.<\/p>\n

Anti-Patriot protesters also gathered in front of the German Embassy in Ankara.<\/p>\n

\n

The protest comes a day after four batteries of Patriot missiles, two each from Germany and the Netherlands, reached Turkey.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n“Germany, take your Patriots and get out of Turkey,” the protesters chanted on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

A similar anti-Patriot protest was held in front of the US Embassy on Monday, where angry protesters condemned what they called Ankara\u2019s interventionist policies towards Syria.<\/p>\n

Also on Monday, a group of Turkish protesters tried to get through the barricades at Incirlik Air Force Base in Adana in protest to the arrival of Patriot anti-missile batteries. About 25 protesters were arrested.<\/p>\n

The United States, Germany and the Netherlands have agreed to deploy two batteries of Patriot missiles each, under the command of NATO, along the Turkish-Syria border after the military alliance approved a request by Turkey for the deployment of the surface-to-air missiles in the border region on December 4, 2012.<\/p>\n

The three countries will also send nearly 350 troops each to Turkey. A number of American, German and Dutch soldiers are already stationed in the country.<\/p>\n

Turkish people have held several protests against the military plan.<\/p>\n

The Syrian government has also censured the plan, calling it another act of provocation by the government of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.<\/p>\n
