Russia sends warships to Syria, Turkey may limit or completely block the Bosphorus Strait

Turkey may limit or completely block the Bosphorus Strait for Russian Navy ships

According to him, Ankara is considering the possibility of blocking the strait, if Russia will oppose the Turkish military operation in Syria. It is also possible to close Turkish airspace for Russian aviation, the journalist warned.

The status of the Black Sea straits is regulated by the Montreux Convention adopted in 1936. According to the document, Turkey must ensure the freedom of movement of merchant ships of all countries both in peacetime and in wartime.

Moreover, the mode of passage of warships in relation to the Black Sea and non-Black Sea states is different. So, for warships of non-Black Sea states, significant restrictions have been introduced on the class and tonnage of ships. In the case of Turkey’s participation in the war, as well as if the country considers that there is a threat of involvement in an armed conflict, Ankara has the right to close the straits for any warships.

NATO convenes urgent session as Turkey calls for no-fly zone over northern Syria after airstrikes kill 33 Turkish troops

Ambassadors from all 29 NATO nations met in emergency session in Brussels this morning, after Turkey invoked Article 4 of the alliance treaty. “Under Article 4 of the Treaty, any ally can request consultations whenever, in the opinion of any of them, their territorial integrity, political independence or security is threatened,” NATO said in a statement.

Turkey is calling on world powers to impose a no-fly zone over northern Syria after regime airstrikes in the Idlib region killed 33 Turkish troops Thursday, and worsened a humanitarian crisis that has displaced hundreds of thousands of people. It’s the highest death toll for Turkish forces since they first moved into Syria in 2016.

Turkey has been trying to block the Russian-backed Syrian government offensive which is aimed at capturing the last major rebel stronghold. The brutal military campaign has targeted hospitals and schools, and has worsened the misery of thousands of civilians fleeing the fighting.

NO-FLY, NO GO: When NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg emerged from the meeting shortly after 6 a.m. Washington time, he made no mention of any no-fly zone, but said the NATO allies expressed their “full solidarity” and condemned “the continued indiscriminate airstrikes by the Syrian regime and Russia in Idlib province.”

RUSSIA DENIES ROLE: The Russian Defence Ministry claimed Turkish troops were hit by artillery fire, not airstrikes, and said the Turkish forces were collocated with rebel fighters and “shouldn’t have been there.”

The Russian news agency RIA said Turkey had failed to notify Moscow of the presence of Turkish troops in the area despite being in regular communication with the Russian military.

Turkey has second largest army in the NATO pact behind USA, Turkey doesn't own or poses any nuclear warheads, but it stores USA's nuclear arsenal at the Incirlik base

But only for 72 hours. Then the borders will be closed again.

This is a joke. The world doesn’t need this BS right now. Turkey can go to hell. No friend of anyone with Erdogan troll in power.

Fuck Turkey.

Erdogan is really pushing it this time... He really does want world War 3.

Putin is such a pussy. Turks are trying to grab all they can before Russians figure out that Putin is screwing them and replace him.

Nuke turkey


Garbage country filled with muslims that worship a pedophile

One caliber cruise missile on erdos and head and the Muslim Brotherhood will hightail it to Europe too. The always back down from decisive force.

If one is use it’s all over

:rere23:

Hope it is. Fuck turkey

Just like people, countries panic too during times like this, and are going to start looking to capture and protect resources. This is actually the perfect time for a war, and it's pretty scary timing.

Not good. All of the big players need an "excuse" to go at it, and this could very well provide that.

Putin’s replacement may not be so diplomatic.

Blocking of the straights would be a first--since 1918. Such an action by the Turks will not go over well wit the Russians. Not well at all.
