If Mr Erdogan and some of his inner circle get to be too large of an obstacle, how does one toss a member out of NATO? Can it be done? The way the Washington Treaty works, as I remember, is that any nation choosing to withdraw from the alliance has to give one year's notice. What I don't recall is how to get voted off the island. (After research, it appears that the answer is no, you can't toss anyone out). Oops.



EDIT:
  1. No provision in the Treaty articles as written. (I'd need to do some archive digging to see if any further utterances or protocols have been issued)
  2. Nothing in the Protocol to the North Atlantic Treaty on the Accession of Greece and Turkey dated 22 October 1951
