Displaced chankid, gamer:

If a wife is constantly beaten by her husband for four decades, but never formerly gets into a fist fight, what kind of peace is that? I do not use that example by accident, as that is how Neoklis Sarris(a now deceased, but once very educated Istanbul Greek fluent in Turkish and highly knowledgeable about Turkish society and Greek-Turkish relations, and a former professor of sociology) states Turks view Greeks in the Greek-Turkish relationship, as the battered wife:

But I will return momentarily to the question of fear. If we want to predict the structure of the Ottoman pattern we see that it is made of pairs of relations arranged vertically and not horizontally. The upper part of the pair loves the lower part and the lower part fears the upper part. Both parts have accepted this as their position, it is something natural, non-arguable. Arguing this relation is impertinence, hubris and revolt, rebellion, mutiny. This structure runs throughout all the line of the society, which in itself is established hierarchically and pyramid-like. This duet is observed in the relations between husband and wife on a micro-social level. Husband loves wife, wife fears husband, brother loves sister, sister fears brother. And today, as we will see, the same structure us pursued for a "Greek-Turkish approach". But all this in a moment.

...

In reality, it is about the aforementioned pattern of couplets of relations (not horizontal but vertical) that constitute the Turkish authority structure, the mediaeval structure well known from the sermons of the Church Fathers. Thus, Turkey loves Greece and Greece fears Turkey. The founder of Turkey, Kemal Ataturk, had said a few months before he died in 1938, that Turkey and Greece are like a married couple. Only that the female role, according to the Turkish stereotypes must be played by Greece. As a series of investigations conducted in Turkey have evidenced, to the question how does your husband react when you disagree, a solid 70% answered "he beats me and maltreats me". Still, these women were happy with their marriage, because they were brought up to be this way. But, as you can understand, Greece neither wants to play this role, nor Turkey's protection. Greece is fed up with protectors...

Since joining NATO in 1952 Turkey has:
1) Destroyed the Greek community of Turkey, now they number around 2,500-2,000 or less. NATO membership gave Turkey a shield for the Istanbul pograms of 1955. NATO gave another Turkish shield for the administrative deportations of Istanbul Greeks in the 1960's and the turning of Imbros and Tenedos into open air prisons where Turkish hardened convicts terrorized the local Greek populace.
2) Like I spoon fed to your moron ass, without NATO training and cascaded weapons Turkey couldn't have invade Cyprus in 1974. 3) NATO gives Turkey diplomatic protection to challenge the Athens FIR and implement its "grey zone" doctrine. This turns what should be a Greek-Turkish issue, into something that Greece is encouraged to sweep under and ignore for NATO stability, since NATO is unwilling to reign in their bandit state of Turkey. That means Greece must be the one that budges. See this post for those aforementioned Turkish policies, from the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs own website:
