The Turkish Straits refer to the narrow waterways that connect the Aegean Sea to the Black Sea, specifically the Dardanelles (Çanakkale Strait) and the Bosporus Strait. These straits are crucial for maritime navigation and trade, as they serve as key passages for ships traveling between Europe and Asia. The Bosporus also separates the European and Asian parts of Istanbul, making it a significant geographical and cultural boundary. The control of these straits has historically been of strategic importance, influencing regional politics and trade routes.
The bodies of water that make up the Turkish Straits are the Bosporus, the Sea of Marmara, and Dardanelles. They also separate the Asian and European parts of Turkey.
