Kanal Istanbul has nothing to do with the Montreux Convention, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Wednesday as he vowed that the huge waterway project on the edge of Istanbul is about Turkey s sovereign rights and would bring major relief to the city, Daily Sabah reports.
The convention is a 1936 agreement that gives Turkey control over the Bosporus and Dardanelles and regulates the transit of naval warships.
It guarantees the free passage of civilian vessels in times of peace and limits the passage of naval ships that do not belong to littoral Black Sea states and governs foreign cargo ships.
