Germany to withdraw Patriot missile-defense from Turkey

‘Germany intends to pull out two Patriot missile-defense batteries along with its 250 soldiers from Turkey, German Defense Ministry says.

A spokesperson for the German Defense Ministry confirmed on Saturday a report published earlier by the German magazine Der Spiegel, that the German unified armed forces, the Bundeswehr, will end its border protection mission in Turkey by the time the mandate ends on January 31, 2016, German news agency DPA reported.
