Should a future federal Cyprus (not the RoC as it is) join Nato, or should it just join the partnership for peace programme alone like Russia?

Or is joining Nato or the partnership for peace completing unacceptable to you?

State reasons below.

Turkey will block it

Turkey should be kicked out for gross violations of code of conduct!

How about a Poll to ask who thinks Turkey should be kicked out?

In fact, Omer (Pollmeister) why don't you do a Poll to ask if Turkey should be fractionated into component parts and sections returned to rightful owners?

Turkey is the problem in Cyprus. Turkey re-adjustment is where the solution lies!

I don't think Omer would do it because if you notice, all his threads are about normalising the present conditions! You know, pretend all is well. [That way, Turkey gets to keep its "spoils"]

Yes Cyprus should join Nato,as a full member.....this could replace the guarantee for Turkey and it benefits both sides......First there is a Nato charter that all members are signatories.....one of the chapter states that one member may not attack another, therefore a guarantee would be useless.......Second...Turkey could benefit with having a stable ally in Cyprus...If AKEL would have allowed Makarios to join Nato in 63, then there wouldnt be a Cyprus problem...

I voted yes but I don't think we are getting an invitation to join any time soon. Cyprus must become a little better at PR otherwise it will be the nerdy kid who got picked last.

If the Strongest alliance tells you " You are either with us or against us, what do you do?"

ATHENS & MELOS
In the summer of 416 BCE an Athenian naval force attacked the small island of Melos, with the intention of coercing it into their alliance. The Melian government refused to cooperate, and the city came under siege. It held out until the winter, when starvation and internal dissidence forced the defenders to unconditional surrender. Then, according to the contemporary historian Thucydides, the Athenians "killed all of the adult Melian men whom they had captured and enslaved the children and women. They settled the place themselves, subsequently sending out five hundred colonists" (Strassler, 1996, p. 357).
