Russia warns Turkey against deploying Patriot missiles
Russia on Thursday warned Turkey against deploying surface-to-air Patriot missiles to protect its troubled border with Syria, saying it should instead use its influence to help broker peace in the war-torn country.

“The militarisation of the Syrian-Turkish border is of course a worrying sign,” foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said, adding Turkey should help the two conflicting sides to start a dialogue.

Nato ambassadors met on Wednesday to consider a Turkish request for the deployment of Patriot missiles near its border with Syria
