The strategic position of the Turkish Strait;

The Turkish Strait is the throat of West Asia, North Africa and Southern Europe leading to the Black Sea. This unique geographical location will make it a battleground for military strategists.

In the past two centuries, European powers have waged a long and fierce struggle for control of the Straits. Among them, Russia launched many wars against Turkey, and British and French troops also occupied the Strait.

1936, the countries concerned held an international conference on the Turkish Strait and reached an agreement. It stipulates that ships of all countries can freely pass through the strait, and warships of countries bordering the Black Sea can also pass through it, except aircraft carriers, but there are certain restrictions on the passage of warships of countries not bordering the Black Sea.
