Canal Istanbul Project Creates Discussions about Turkish Straits

Canal Istanbul Project Creates Discussions about Turkish Straits. Criticism by dozens of retired Turkish admirals and diplomats warning the government not to open up for debate a key international treaty (Montreux Convention) managing Turkey’s major waterways has created a new controversy. The Turkish government last month approved the plans to build a shipping canal in Istanbul similar to the Panama or Suez canals as an alternative to Turkey’s internationally used straits connecting Asia to Europe, Reuters reported. The 45-kilometer Canal Istanbul is projected to cost $9.2 billion.
