NATO and Cyprus

Astonishing to hear claims about how NATO got involved with resolving the problem in Lybia and how the organisation did what they did because they wanted to support the democratic forces on the ground and restore the country back to the rule of internatinal law and justice.

This sounds good but at the same time the same alliance tolerates the occupation by Turkish troops of the independent and internationally recognised state of Cyprus. A full member of the European Union?? Turkey is applying to become a member of the EU but refuses to withdraw its forces from the island. In the meantime both Greece and Turkey are full members of NATO?? It can not possibly get more hypocritical than that can it? Turkey is occupying EU territory and refuses to remove its troops.
