AT: Turkey-Greece Conflict

Braw,’20: NATO seems paralyzed, but it’s not. NATO is still going strong on its main mission:

Dellanna, ‘20: Experts argue that his words are mainly designed for domestic propaganda rather

Ocal, ‘21: Yet, it is a Greek territory. It is not hard to accept; that is what had happened at the
Paris conference in 1946. Turkey could have objected to it and it could have gone to
international litigation. It had chosen not to. Turkey, as a peaceful and respectful member of the
United Nations has been and will be recognizant of this.
