NATO to extend Patriot mission

NATO has agreed to the extension of the Patriot mission in Turkey. Netherlands contributes to the mission, of which Turkey is now asking for an extension. Netherlands is expected to agree with the extension. The government will announce its decision on the subject Friday at the earliest. The air defense artillery has to stay because neighboring Syria is still too restless. Patriot_missile_launch
