Alright see what you mean. It'll go through the southern water strait of Saudi Arabia.
If you understand the facets that govern exclusive economic zones, Internal waters, Territorial waters, Archipelagic waters, Contiguous zone, Continental shelf, right of "innocent passage", etc you will understand why none can interfere with trade.
Why wouldn't Turkey try and get as much out of India as possible?
There was only one who killed a golden goose and it was a story with a moral. Turkey would have surely heard of it and that is why it will ensure that her interest is met without killing the golden goose. And India has the money to address Turkey's legitimate due.
Afaik, international waters do not exist at the mouth of the Persian Gulf. But it doesn't go through the Persian Gulf so that is fine.
Who says so?
Per Article 39 of the UNCLOS, pertaining to "duties of ships during transit passage" ships passaging through the Strait of Hormuz must "proceed without delay" and "refrain from any threat or use of force against the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of states bordering the strait".
Oil tankers qualify under transit passage and innocent passage.
Doesn't matter.
Have money, will select source of oil and transit.
I suppose IPI would have passed through Pakistan also. At least India does see the possibility that Pakistan is an important geostrategic player. Going for Turkey for everything is going to lose billions for India probably - The saudis will need funds, and I doubt they are going to make it easy for central asian oil to pass through their territory, unless they are compensated.
A very odd logic.
If Saudis lose funds, are you suggesting that they will bother? They have many customers who line up for their oil and will surely not miss who buys or who does not buy.
And If the oil is taken in tankers from Turkeish port, where does it transit Saudi Arabia?
By your logic, any ship that transits through the Indian Ocean should compensate India and Sri Lanka!!!!
Have a heart!
