Φαίνεται να μπαίνει ένα σημαντικό θέμα που θα βαρύνει τις πλάτες της Τουρκίας.
Με παρόμοιο τρόπο που τα Σκόπια βαραίναν τις δικές μας πλάτες όσον αφορά το ΝΑΤΟ.
"Despite the fact that the three security guarantors of Cyprus designated in the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee β Greece, Turkey, and the United Kingdom β belong to the same Alliance, NATO has not been put forth as a solution to the security problem. Now may be the time to do so.
With NATO membership built into any settlement, Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities, along with Athens and Ankara, and in partnership with all of their European partners and NATO allies, might have more confidence in striking a deal. Cyprus remains the only European Union member who is not even a member of the Alliance’s Partnership for Peace program, due entirely to the outstanding reunification problem. Immediate NATO membership for a reunified island, however, would automatically embed, and therefore replace, a joint Greek-Turkish-British security guarantee within an Alliance commitment to the entire island without any need for alternative mechanisms.
As part of the agreement, NATO could establish an operations center on the island, drawing on existing infrastructure and housing personnel from NATO allies, including Turkey. This new operations center would provide NATO allies a common situational awareness within the Eastern Mediterranean of unchecked migration flows, illicit shipping, or potential proliferation. It would also support NATO planners rightly focused on the Alliance’s eastern flank and both Russian and non-state threats. Furthermore, conflict spillover from Libya to Syria exposes many southern NATO members to significant risk, and a forward operations center in Cyprus could provide valuable capabilities in these areas. In 2013, the United Nations and Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) based their operation to extract chemical weapons from Syria on Cyprus. "
Με δυο λόγια ρίχνει το βάρος στο ότι η Τουρκία δεν αποσύρει τα στρατεύματά της από εκεί και έτσι δεν λύνεται το Κυπριακό και αυτό δημιουργεί ζήτημα και για την Ευρώπη και για την Δύση γενικότερα.
Και φτάνει να πει ότι τα Τουρκικά στρατεύματα μπορούν να αντικατασταθούν με τη Νατοϊκή παρουσία.
