The RoC should join NATO. It would probably get vetoed by the Islamic State of Turkey.

Let the USA and its allies see for itself the Turkish arrogance and recalcitrance.

Then, after its unsuccessful attempts to join NATO, the RoC could think outside the box and apply to join the ANZUS Treaty. This is a carbon copy of BATO and all ANZUS Treaty states are still obligated under Article 5. It is a treaty between Australia, NZ and USA. They are by default Associate Members of NATO as are NATO Treaty States in ANZUS. The RoC would have to attend all NATO summits as well as the ANZUS summits.

There are obligations. The RoC would be obliged to come to Australia's aid if it were attacked for whatever reason. Buckley's chance of that. It may need to attend to some annual exercises in Australia. It could send 20 or so OIK to train with the SAS. Australia would be obligated to attend the CNGs annual exercise. They will probably send some air support.

But it is a big stuff you to Turkey. It will also have access to Australian and US arms.

This sends the right signals to the EU and the NATO alliance. I for one, am sick and tired of being marginalized by Turkey.

Are there any Cypriot Politicians that can make some moves such as this? Let's exercise our sovereignty and give Turkey something to think about!

agree - time to try to join NATO.

It is not just Turkey which will veto Cyprus' application to NATO. The British are trying to stop us even from applying to Partnership for Peace. http://www.sigmalive.com/news/local/147554 Wake up paphitis ... The Turks, the British and the Americans are partners in the crime against Cyprus. And ... ANZUS ?? Maybe we could also join NAFTA?

One day Sotos, you are going to wake up to the fact that the British and the Americans have no reason at all to veto Cyprus. In fact, they will find it advantageous to their interests.

You got to stop listening to that stupid Archbishop of yours!

Just apply already and stop trying to anticipate how each state will vote because making huge assumptions like that will make a big ass out of you.

You are holding on to some wild fantasy that the British and Americans are enemies of the RoC. That is not the case. Furthermore, the British in particular were not supportive of the invasion in 74 and were actually working quite hard behind the scenes to stop it.

And yes, ANZUS is affiliated to NATO. Unless they have some kind of geographical requirements (which I am not aware of) then I can't see or predict a veto even though the application is unusual. You would be an aircraft carrier for them.
