Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, who is currently in Slovenian capital of Ljubljana, replied to questions of reporters after his meeting with Slovenian Foreign Minister Samuel Zbogar.
When a Slovenian reporter reminded Davutoğlu of a news story published in The New York Times which claimed that the Obama administration could install a missile defense shield in Turkey, Davutoğlu said, "the news report is not accurate and we did not get such a demand from the USA or NATO."
The New York Times said, "the Obama administration has developed possible alternative plans for a missile defense shield that could drop hotly disputed sites in Poland and the Czech Republic, a move that would please Russia and Germany but sour relations with American allies in Eastern Europe."
It said, "among the alternatives are dropping either the Polish or Czech site, or both sites, and instead building launching pads or radar installations in Turkey or the Balkans."
