Turkey does not believe that its neighbors including Iran poses a threat, Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Sunday.
Turkey stands for creating NATO missile defense shield which will cover all of the members of the alliance. Talks on possible deployment of elements NATO missile defense shield in Turkey are likely to be concluded at the NATO summit in Lisbon on November 19.
NATO Secretary General Andres Fogh Rasmussen and the leading members of the alliance believe the missile defense shield should be created to protect them from countries that pose potential nuclear threat.
"We do not have a perception of threat in our adjacent areas, including Iran, Russia, Syria and the other adjacent countries," Davutoglu said.
"NATO should exclude any formula that confronts Turkey with a group of countries in its threat definitions and planning. ... We do not want a Cold War zone or psychology around us."
