NATO takes control of the entire Black Sea

PresidentTurkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on Saturday, that the ceremony began the construction of the canal “Istanbul” bypassing the Bosphorus Strait is scheduled for the end of June this year. This was reported by Anadolu Agency. “Undoubtedly, there will be those, who will express concern about this project”, – quoted by Erdogan's agency. According to the President of Turkey, construction of the canal will increase the geostrategic importance of Istanbul. The President added, that two cities will be built on the right and left banks of the canal.

Project channel “Istanbul” was announced by Erdogan in 2011 year. The canal is intended to become a new shipping artery in the western part of Istanbul, connecting the Black and Marmara seas. December 2019 the President of Turkey said, that maritime traffic through the canal will not be subject to the Montreux Convention.

Under « topics, who will express concern", without any doubt, Erdogan understands Russia. Actually, it is she who becomes the main victim in this story, since the Montreux Convention compensated for the weakness and lack of self-sufficiency of the Black Sea Fleet, which was built on the basis of two basic premises: the only military enemy in the Black Sea is Türkiye, warships of third countries cannot have any significant impact on the general situation in the Black Sea.

Now everything is changing. And it doesn't even matter, How legally verified is Erdogan’s statement about, that the Istanbul channel is not subject to the convention - this is a controversial and ambiguous issue. That's important, that this is a political decision, and it's announced.

"Istanbul" means, that NATO takes control of the entire Black Sea, and those, who disagrees with this, can even contact Sportloto, at least to the League of Sexual Services. Well, or they will try to restore the status quo that existed before “Istanbul”. Let's say, by force.

In such an interpretation there is not much, not at all, about Russia's strategic defeat in the South. Three hundred years of wars with Turkey (and her allies) ultimately led to the creation of a fairly strong order, where the Black Sea became a zone of balancing Russian interests (and USSR) and Turkey. Now this balance will be completely destroyed, and Russia has an answer other than the ban on tomatoes and tourist traffic from Turkey, No. Erdogan found this out experimentally, and the result completely satisfied him.
