72 Years Ago Today: Greece and Turkey Join NATO, Strengthening Collective Security

Greece and Turkey officially became members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) 72 years ago today, on February 18, 1952.

This marked a significant milestone in the development of the alliance, occurring just three years after its establishment in 1949. The inclusion of Greece and Turkey as NATO members strengthened the collective security and defense capabilities of the organization, particularly in the Mediterranean region.

Through their accession, both countries demonstrated their commitment to upholding democratic values and contributing to the collective security of the alliance.
