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:
- 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)
- Nothing in the Protocol to the North Atlantic Treaty on the Accession of Greece and Turkey dated 22 October 1951
