And at the time of war, crossing Turkey can cross the path of warships of rebellious parties.
According to the conference, if there is a party for the Turkish war or it is threatened by imminent danger, then it can close the strategies to pass the warships.
How does it affect Russia?
Russia and Ukraine are both located on black sea with Romania and NATO members Bulgaria and Georgia. Under the Turkey Montreal Convention, the Mediterranean Sea can limit the transit of Russian warships to the Black Sea, but there is a warning in the agreement: can cross the warships of rebel states if they are returning on the basis of origin.
"If the ship's ship will return to its port, the exception has been made. We will implement all the provisions of Montrees with transparency," exception should not be misused.
President of Turkey's International Relations Council Mustafa Ayudin said that this step would be symbolic only.
He said, "It is not enough fireplipper in black sea in Russia that it does not understand to [entry] to NATO countries." "There is full supremacy on water in Russia."
But if the war has declined, then Moscow could feel heat, because Russia had completed his Navy's construction in the Black Sea by moving units from the Baltic Sea before the beginning of Kanhai, because in the Father of Istanbul Professor Sarhat Gwenk had said. University is
Earlier, in February, six Russian warships and a submarine transferred Dardenel and Bosphorus stratges into the Black Sea, which Moscow said the Navy Drill near the Ukrainian Waters.

Guvenk said that he was not expected to make a decision soon to Turkey, but Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky took a threat to Turkey from time to time to threaten Turkey on Twitter ".
Turkey has said that he has honored the treaty historically and will continue to do so.
Guvenk said that it is to do this in the interest of Ankara because the treaty supports Turkey at the time of war. Any exception to please Russia can risk the reliability of the treaty for a long time.
He said, "The United States is very interested in the idea of unrestricted independence of navigation through Turkish stratges, as is in the case of other waterways like Sues and Panama canals." A deviation from the conference will give us a legitimate reason to question Turkey's status as "Montrees Monitoring."
How can it affect Turkish foreign relations?
In Turkey, there is a maritime limit with both Ukraine and Russia on the black sea and both countries sees as friendly. Ankara depends on tourism and natural gas on Russia, but despite the Russian objections, despite the Russian objections, despite the drone sold in the country, there are close economic and defense relationships.
The Soviet Union was one of the original signatories of the Russian state's predecessor, Montriyks conference.
Guvenk said, "Russia knows the intricacies of politics and law and would have been prepared for an event of this kind." However, Moscow did not expect to work on Ankara soon treaty.
"The Turkish move can meet an obligation under fully international law," he said, but the move may indicate that if the conflict falls may be where lean turkey. "Turkey has with its traditional allies in NATO and the EU decided to align a little away from Russia."
