On Sunday, a group of representatives from Turkey’s opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) staged a protest against a planned NATO early warning radar system in the Kurecik region of the country’s eastern province of Malatya.

The ten lawmakers, including CHP deputy head Emine Ulker Tarhan, arrived in Kurecik wearing T-shirts which said ‘No to Missile Shield’.

Turkey gave the go-ahead for the construction of a NATO radar on its territory in September 2011.
