Abstract:

In July 1974, Turkey occupied northern Cyprus. The occupation shocked the world and created military and political stresses on the NATO alliance that have not been settled to this data. This essay analyzes the Cyprus situation and highlights the importance of its resolution to NATOs interest. The paper discusses the military capability of Greece and Turkey to confront any aggression by Warsaw Pact forces. It focuses on the resolution of the Cyprus issue as the linchpin that must occur to remove many of frictions that contront Greece and Turkey. Once that happens, there will be improved cohesiveness and credibility of the southern flank of NATO. Author
