Russian chief of staff to visit Turkey

Russian Chief of General Staff Yuri Baluevsky will travel to Turkey in June at the invitation of his Turkish counterpart, Gen. Yaşar Büyükanıt, for talks mostly focused on U.S. plans for a missile defense shield in Europe, as well as developments in the Black Sea region, news reports said. Russia is likely to give a message that the missile shield plans directly target Russia, not Iran or N. Korea.
