The bases in Turkey are vital to American and NATO security. and the intelligence bases are invaluable and irreplaceable. We cannot afford to lose them over an embargo that has not even achieved its purpose. Recent events in Portugal have contributed to the weakening of NATO and of Americas European posture. Further losses in NATOs southern tier would have dire consequences in the near future. My primary concern is that the negotiations produce a meaningful settlement to end the misery of the refugees. I also wish to enable both Greece and Turkey to fulfill their roles as NATO allies. The embargo has not moved anyone toward the negotiating table. and is only hardening attitudes.
