It's interesting that there are two organisations competing for Turkey's naval point defence system, though I think Roketsan will secure the contract because of their more advanced seeker solution and made for purpose system. Compared to Aselsan's adaptation of Goksur AA missile and single seeker - VLS is a nice addition however.

The Gökdemir 100 system can operate with 8 missiles ready to fire at a range of 20 km and an altitude of 10 km using existing RF-guided Gökdoğan AA missiles. Thanks to its own command control, it can work in integration with existing radar systems and the Siper air defense system.

4x Bozdoğan-DH missile | 25km*
4x AESA radar
1x AKR fire control radar

Turkey has placed an initial order of 5 systems for evaluation purposes, this number is likely to increase ten fold once accepted into service.

Did someone from Tübitak gave a reason why they are using liquid fuel for the Gökhan ramjet and not solid one (like most of the competition, besides perhaps India).

Is it just for the speed control advantage?
My best guess is, they have the intention to follow US/S.Korea/Japan in the Hypersonic cruise missile business (Hydrogen fuel+Scramjet like X-51A) and use this missile as a stepping stone to get familiar with the challenges.
