This academic analysis explores the enduring

strategic significance of the Turkish Straits—a vital waterway connecting the
Black Sea to the Mediterranean and a key geopolitical chokepoint. The Straits,
acting as a natural bridge between Europe and Asia, are central to Eurasian
stability and have historically been a focal point in international strategic
considerations. Highlighting Türkiye's role in managing this crucial passage,
the analysis underscores the meticulous enforcement of the 1936 Montreux Straits
Convention by Türkiye, especially in light of recent geopolitical challenges
such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Convention, designed to regulate
navigation while ensuring regional security, is depicted as a cornerstone of
peace and stability in the region. Türkiye's balanced implementation amidst war
underscores its commitment to safeguarding both regional and global security
interests. Moreover, the report criticizes attempts by external actors to
reinterpret or challenge the Convention's provisions, arguing that such actions
threaten to destabilize the established security order. It concludes by
emphasizing the Montreux Convention's role as an indispensable regional and
global security mechanism, warning against any efforts to undermine its authority
or Türkiye's sovereign enforcement rights.
