You know what Sspad? The dude is right. I live right next to Turkey. Greece is always under threat of war and all. Since the hostile occupation of Cyprus, the US has been supporting Turkey for a multitude of reasons. One is that it's a good foothold in the area, which means geopolitical strength. The other was that it's militaristic state is easy to control. Another reason would be because of way to the oil.

When we tried to take back Cyprus, NATO stepped in and said "Hold on a second, jack!" whereas when Turkey invaded Cyprus, same NATO not only did nothing to stop them, but there was also under the table support for them.

Turkey has always been under the influence of the US.
