The Montreux Convention remains a key legal and policy tool in maintaining Black Sea security, particularly in the context of Russia's large-scale aggression against Ukraine launched in February 2022. To preserve its role, Türkiye seeks to prevent any debate over the convention and ensure its continuous enforcement. By pursuing a policy of balance between NATO and Russia, Türkiye aims to promote peace in the Black Sea rather than witness competition and conflict to its north. Russia's aggression against Ukraine has elevated Türkiye’s role as a key actor in ensuring regional security. Moreover, from Ankara’s perspective, the Montreux regime serves as a crucial policy tool and instrument of international law for formulating balanced strategies and guaranteeing security in the Black Sea region.
