Turkish Strait

The Turkish Straits refer to the Bosporus and Dardanelles, two narrow bodies of water in Turkey connecting the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and then to the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. These straits are vital global waterways, allowing maritime traffic to pass between European and Asian regions. They also hold strategic geopolitical importance and are governed by international agreements that regulate shipping rights and security. The Bosporus, in particular, is a bustling corridor for commercial and naval vessels, making it one of the world's busiest maritime routes essential for regional trade and geopolitics.
