ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey would be open to new offers for a missile defence system if a deal agreed with a Chinese firm under U.S. sanctions falls through, Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan was quoted on Friday as saying.

The NATO member's decision to co-produce the long-range air and missile defence system with China Precision Machinery Import and Export Corp (CPMIEC) over rival bids from Russian, U.S. and European firms has raised concern among Turkey's Western allies.
