Turkish protesters have rallied in the capital, Ankara, to protest against the deployment of NATO Patriot missiles along their country's border with Syria.


The demonstrators urged the parliament on Tuesday to take action and cancel the deployment of NATO missiles and troops in Turkey. 

Anti-Patriot protesters also gathered in front of the German Embassy in Ankara. 

The protest comes a day after four batteries of Patriot missiles, two each from Germany and the Netherlands, reached Turkey.

"Germany, take your Patriots and get out of Turkey," the protesters chanted on Tuesday. 

A similar anti-Patriot protest was held in front of the US Embassy on Monday, where angry protesters condemned what they called Ankara’s interventionist policies towards Syria.
