Actually, Turkey didn't have any concern on ballistic missile technologies. We had just commenced a project called Yildirim having a range of 250km in Block-II version. The aim of Yildirim project was to spread fear over Greek officials in Aegean dispute and It became really usefull...
Roketsan Yildirim I (China-Turkey cooperation program)
I think Turkey started changing the strategy in parralel of its rising power and influence in region. While We are rising in terms of every field of development and our defence industry which is aiming to develop every type weapon/missile system, are doing perfect, It is certain to collide our interests with another one spoiled under the rain of funds/technology/subsystems/freedom to act over other lands who feels itself something like "bigger thanks to big brothers" over Turkey and Turkish influence region so It is understood that Cautions have been started to be taken from now.
This tech is not new but such a ballistic missile project technology will be used on development of satellite launching vehile so Turkey foreseens a plan to launch own satellite with own launchers in years between 2015-18 but It is understood that similar technology will be applied for carrying high explosive warheads towrds enemy lands instead of space... Range isn't so important (Do you really believe that Yildirim II has a range of 250km or SOM cruise missile has a range of 180km ? ) and always be kept hidden but Knowing the availibility of such a mass-destruction weapon project is important as well.
