Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted many countries to consider joining NATO for their own protection. But historic conflict over Cyprus between Greece and Turkey, and their economic dependence on Russia make it very unlikely to join any time soon.

In this video, we’re going to take a look at the ruling in France and explain why, while it might be good news for Le Pen personally, it is actually probably bad news for the National Rally and thus the French right.

Most Turkish Cypriot descend from Islamised Greek Cypriots , Cypriot Latins(Levantines) and Cypriot Maronites. Only a small percentage comes from Ottoman settlers and most spoke Greek for a long time before adopting Turkish, in fact some still do speak Greek Cypriot as their only native language like in the village of Louroudjina.
@PGproductionsHD
February 13, 2024 at 7:30 pm
The majority (~80%) has always been Greek in the past 3000 years. You misspoke when you said this was not the case when the Ottomans came over.

Declassified CIA documents show maps that Turkey wanted to partion Northern Cyprus as early as the 1940's while still a British colony. What you have to understand moderates from both sides wanted to keep out of politics, Turkish right wingers wanted to be close politically to Ankera and do their bidding for partion and right wings Greek Cypriots wanted to be politically close to Greece to secure it from further occupation and Turkish partition. These two factions from communities were EOKA and TNT. If you read the London Zurich agreement the vice president had to be a Turkish Cypriot and had veto power on all policies and a fixed number of Turkish Cypriots seats in parliament. All of which is undemocratic. If you add in that right wing Turkish Cypriots nationalist were actively working with Ankera in perusing a partion you have inter communal violence.

Cyrpus can't join NATO because 1/3 of it s occupied by Turkey and countries with territorial disputes can't join. The reason it s occupied by Turkey is because the British squatters wanted to at least have a base there and true to style they did in Cyprus exactly the same thing they did everywhere else they went or left. Divide and conquer. As long as there's a problem they can play "arbitor", they declared for themselves a base as sovereign territory and the "natives" can squabble all they like. As for NATO it doesn't need Cyrpus to join because the UK already has a base there and the UK is in NATO and that's all the island has to offer them anyway. Things always change so who knows, maybe one day France or the US or God forbid Russia or China will come to "protect" the Pakistani or Indian minorities in Britain which are of similar size to the Turkish minority in Cyprus. 🤣

Turkey does not help NATO at the time (they throw out NATO from Insirlick base) they blackmailing Sweeden and Finland while threatening Greece with war, they helped Putin and all that kind of stuff. NATO should throw out Turkey and add Sweeden, Finland & Cyprus

Why exactly is Turkey unhappy about Cyprus, including the "legit" Northern part, joining NATO?

That would be a big mistake. NATO is only for losers.
@someguy3766
February 13, 2024 at 7:30 pm
Another factor might be the UK's sovereign base areas. Parts of Cyprus are actually still British territory, with a significant UK military presence. As long as British forces are on Cyprus the island is pretty safe, as any attack on the country would likely result in a response from the UK, a vastly more powerful country.
