If Turkey annexes northern Cyprus, then

1) Any gas found would not belong to all Cypriots but where it is found.
2) Any gas funds that could be received by Turks in Cyprus is now Turkish
property.

3) the NATO is done & gone, because can't survive an internal war
between two members, both of them accusing the other of being the
aggressor....
