Greece to ask for NATO’s support in dispute with Turkey
The Associated Press, Athens Sunday, 1 December 2019

Greece’s prime minister says he will ask other NATO members at the alliance’s London summit to support Greece in the face of fellow member Turkey’s attempts to encroach on Greek sovereignty, notably last week’s agreement with Libya delimiting maritime borders in the Mediterranean.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis told the ruling conservative New Democracy party’s congress on Sunday that the alliance cannot remain indifferent when one of its members blatantly violates international law and that a neutral approach is to the detriment of Greece, which has never sought to ratchet up tensions in the area.

Greece, Cyprus, and Egypt have strongly criticized the agreement, describing it as a serious breach of international law that disregards the lawful rights of other eastern Mediterranean countries.

Why is Turkey in NATO in the first place?

Some might state, for missile sites during the Cold War with the USSR,

Some might state said siting was negotiated as a result of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

One needs extensive study of NATO and of the EU.

Most Americans know little about these subjects.

Chances are your Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Audi or Volkswagen was built with a lot of Turkish Guestworker labor. (Or Greeks, Portugese, Italians)

Guest workers willing to work cheap, fueled the German Economic Miracle of the post-war 1960s.
