    Im Jahr 1946 beanspruchte die UdSSR einen Teil des türkischen Territoriums, wobei Lavrenty Beria behauptete, das Osmanische Reich habe es Georgien gestohlen. Der Anspruch wurde nach Stalins Tod im Jahr 1953 aufgegeben.

      This is actually the main reason why Turkey sided with the Americans and joined NATO during the Cold War. There were other reasons but this was the main reason

      That was the most important thing that pushed Turkey to take sides with the West and eventually join NATO. Turkey also sent soldiers for the Korean war (to the United Nations and US side of course), that also contributed to the acceptance to NATO.

      Also on a interesting side note, Turkey and Greece joined NATO simultaneously.

      There is an interesting aspect of an alternate timeline that this was materialized. In the state censuses of the USSR in the 1930s they estimate around 300,000 Greeks, mainly Pontian Greeks that had fled to Russia during and in the aftermath of the Pontic Genocide (1914-1923). They had been greatly persecuted in the 1930s-1940s, and mass deported into Central Asia, but it would make sense, as if they did that, they would automatically and immediately have fierce supporters in that occupied area, those very same inhabitants that had been genocided and ethnically cleansed from that very land just a generation earlier. It would also be a huge propaganda card against Greece and their inclusion within the NATO, as well as a tremendous leverage for blackmail.
