Greece has withdrawn from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s defense college in a dispute that diplomats said highlights the Socialist government’s distrust of the alliance. The three Greek students and a lecturer at the Rome institute, which trains officers and civil servants in strategic studies, were instructed last week to leave within 24 hours. Informed sources said the walkout followed a dispute over a classroom exercise involving hypothetical political upheaval in Greece, a left-wing government and a military coup.
