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.
oops, got my dates wrong then
Right, but have you considered that no one actually cares about Greece?
Lol…how can anyone downvote this? It’s funny and tragic because it’s true.
No souvlaki for you.
That’s okay I’ll have şiş kebap, which is the same thing.
Not pork though 😏
