Abstract:

One of the main elements of the security of the Black Sea is the Montreux Convention, which regulates the transition regime from the Turkish Gulf. However, it is apparent that the arrangements and restrictions brought by the Convention during the Cold War period were criticized in the U.S. and NATO environments. Turkey has given great importance to the preservation of the existing Statute in the Black Sea. In connection with this, it also seeks to demonstrate that its national and international activities and the security of the sea and energy in the region can be secured by coastal states. The aim of this study is to explore the activities of Turkey contributing to marine and energy security in the Black Sea. The study discusses the activities carried out with the participation of the Turkish Navy and Coastal Security Command.
