There's no way that will happen. You're both members of NATO. Why would Turkey even do that?

Actually Turkey has announced that they might leave NATO. Even US media imply that Turkey should leave NATO as well. Turkey was also a NATO member during the 1955 events [1] [2] and during the invasion and subsequent occupation of Cyprus [1].

Here are some very recent articles:

The reasons are many. The main one is that Turkey always dreamed of re-occupying territories where the local population were living as slaves, and the more recent one is that they demand a part of Greece so that they get access to the oil and gas sources.

If it happens it might unite Europe.
