    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
