Referring to the statement of NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen about using Patriots only against missiles, and said, "Turkey has its own conventional power against planes anyways."
"Turkey has the power and ability to confront a risk regarding air forces. We do not have such a demand," he said.
Davutoglu added that demand of Patriot air defense system from NATO was "a caution" and it would be natural for Turkey to use the capabilities of the alliance in the case of risks.
