Turkish ownership of dandallese is on EXTREMELY shaky ground. In every other such body of water, it has been classified as an international passage way.
The Entire reason turkey was allowed to join nato was to act as a nuke absorber for the more important western europeans, but also to keep the dandallese closed to Russia. Nato is the only reason why this turkish illegal claim has been allowed to stand.
Iran should start taking notes. After We openly build nukes, Iran should declare the straight of hormuz as Iranian property, and any ship passing Iranian territorial waters (the only section major commercial ships can safely navigates) must get Iranian permission.
Turkey is playing a dangerous game. If Russia calls their bluff and sends a few warships, it would put turkey in a very very bad spot
The only reason Turkey entered NATO was because Stalin had territorial claims on Turkey and wanted to establish Russian military control of the straits.
The Montreux agreement and the Straits Convention are in effect with the signature of Russia. (Guarantor states Turkey, Bulgaria, France, England, Japan, Romania, Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Greece) It is the only international water in which the US navy cannot show an effective naval presence, thanks to its contain.
The main purpose of the Montreux Convention is to reconcile the requirements and benefits of international maritime trade with these rights, while preserving the sovereign rights of the Republic of Turkey, which is a coastal state. In other words, a new transition regime from the Straits was accepted with Montreux, and the responsibility for the implementation and supervision of this new regime was given to Turkey.
In time of war, if Turkey is not a belligerent, warships shall enjoy full freedom of passage and round-trip (transportation) in the Straits, under the same conditions as those specified in Articles 10 to 18. However, warships of any warring State shall be prohibited from passing through the Straits.
Warships belonging to warring States, littoral or non-Black Sea, that have left their mooring ports may return to these ports.
Warships of the Warring States are prohibited from attempting any seizure, exercise of right of control (visit) and any other hostile act in the Straits.
Article 19 does not constitute an obstacle for ships of the Russian Black Sea navy to return to their bases.
Don't make yourself ridiculous by talking about things you really don't know.
