Turkish Straits

The Turkish Straits consist of the Bosporus, Sea of Marmara, and Dardanelles, which connect the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. These narrow waterways are strategically important for international shipping and serve as a crucial maritime route for energy supplies and trade. The straits separate the European and Asian parts of Turkey and have significant historical, cultural, and geopolitical relevance. The Bosporus, in particular, is one of the world's busiest straits, and its control has been a point of conflict throughout history. Turkey manages maritime traffic through the straits, enforcing specific regulations and agreements.
