Turkey has warned both Black Sea and non-Black Sea countries not to pass warships through Bospho

and Dardanelles straits, reported Reuters.

Turkey foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu spoke on the decision today, reported Turkey’s state news agency Anadolu, saying:

We implemented what Montreux says, and we will do so from now on. There has been no request for passage through the straits until today.

Interesting, so Turkey is making both Russia & NATO go "cold turkey" when it comes to the use of the Black Sea
