Was Greece, the orchestrator of the Turkish invasion, one of those NATO countries ?
Greece was part of the play, the orchestrator's were the US and Britain.
Indeed, all of them involved are NATO countries.
"Your going to be my friend and we are going to have our military in your country, to (NOT) protect you or we are going to kill you." --- Its insane!
Once again you must ask yourself why!
Cyprus was the sacrificial lamb to Greece and Turkey. Why?
Was it because we were on the outer and a little to cosy with the Warsaw Pact countries?
Do you think it would still play out the same way if we were in NATO? Mmmm I wonder!
So Greece can be in NATO and have and maintain good relations with Russia.
Cyprus can not be in NATO or have good relations with Russia.
Greece and Turkey are in NATO and have poor relations with each other to the point where they are on occasions on the verge of war.
Yeah, it all makes sense. No need to wonder or ask why.
That's a loaded question. Quite difficult to answer.
But yes, Greece and Cyprus can be in NATO and have good relations with Russia. At the moment though that is not as possible because of the situation in Ukraine.
Before that, Russia was progessing down the path of joining NATO but this has been set back by Ukraine. They are however a member of the PfP. Which actually means that Russia is ahead of the game compared to Cyprus.
If there is a solution to the Ukraine Issue, then NATO relations with Russia will normalize over time.
But at the moment, relations are strained, embargoes are in place. So Greece is in a precarious position should it decide to contravene NATO and EU directives.
You do know that it was actually Cyprus who raised the motion in the UN to impose sanctions on Russia?
