Turkey attacked Cyprus not Greece. Greece was allied with Cyprus, but there have been other cases of NATO countries supporting different sides on war (which often involves Turkey).
Greenland is a territory of a NATO country, so an attack on Greenland is an attack on NATO.Turkey has a standing, legislated Casus Belli threat against Greece excercising its rights under UNCLOS. It claims “grey zones” in the Aegean and wants to revise the sovereignty of Greek islands, including inhabited ones.
The two countries haven’t been at war but the threats of war have been a staple for decades
Turkey isn’t a signatory on UNCLOS which is why they don’t care what a treaty they didn’t sign says.
I always find these little one-sided presentations of grievances interesting
yeah but they were at war when they joined so they were grandfathered in
No, they weren’t? It was 1952, 3 years before even the Cyprus conflict started.
You’re confusing Cyprus conflicts. You might want to read your own link.
The Emergency was Cypriot guerillas fighting to end British colonial status.
The Turkish invasion was in 1974, after the fascist Greek junta that had just couped their own coup government tried to annex Cyprus with, you guessed it, a coup. The Turkish justification was that it was defending Turkish Cypriots from the Greek junta which, okay, why’d you keep the territory then?
The conflict collapsed the Greek junta btw, which is why Greece is a democracy again.
Not confusing anything. In between Lausanne and the decolonization of Cyprus, there is zero tension between Greece and Turkey. Once decolonization from the British started, the rest was a deteriorating cascade, and yes, the history is basically as you describe it. But at the time of NATO accession (1952), the countries had enjoyed 30 years of basically the best calm they’ve ever had.
Zero tension? Between 1922 and 1952?
LMAO okay. Because the Greeks weren’t shitposting about the Megali Idea even when they were social democrats.
Stoxos is literally a bunch of Nazis.
Correct, remnants of the junta period.
They’re the shitposting Greeks repeating ideas from your “era of peace,” even though they got bodied the last two times they tried, keep up.
oops, got my dates wrong then
Right, but have you considered that no one actually cares about Greece?
No souvlaki for you.
No problem, I’m not much of a dancer anyway.
That’s okay I’ll have şiş kebap, which is the same thing.
Not pork though 😏
Lol…how can anyone downvote this? It’s funny and tragic because it’s true.
