Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has said that his country warned the international community about passing of warships through the country’s straits since the war between Russia and Ukraine started.
He said on Sunday that Ankara has been implementing an international pact on naval passage to the Black Sea. Under the 1936 Montreux Convention, Turkey has control over the Dardanelles and Bosphorus straits that connect the Mediterranean and Black Sea, and can limit the passage of warships during wartime or if threatened.
