So what happens if two members of the same alliance (NATO) go to war with each other? Which side does the alliance support? In this case I’d side with Greece.

Hell, if some country outside of NATO goes to war with Turkey we should definitely sit it out and cheer the non-Turkish belligerents in their battles against Turkey.

If Turkey attacks Greece, we will not support Turkey.

I would too. But I believe NATO obligations are triggered by attacks on a country's homeland. Unless France or Greece invade or bomb Turkey, which won't happen, nothing is triggered. Or support terror attacks, in which case it might, as in Afghanistan. In any event, the US should choose or not choose sides based on our interests. Which imo are opposed by Turkey.
