Subject: Turkey closes warship access to the Black Sea

SMS Alert Text:

Per the 1936 Montreux Convention, Turkey warns Black Sea and non-Black Sea countries not to pass warships through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles Straits.

Supplemental Info:

Under the 1936 Montreux Convention, Turkey is in charge of regulating the passage of ships into and out of the Black Sea and has the power to close them to warships. However, it has been loath to do so lest it sacrifice its perceived neutrality between Russia and Ukraine.
