Comments by "Ggoddkkiller" (@ggoddkkiller1342) on "Turkey's $15 Billion Istanbul Canal Explained - TLDR News" video.

  1. There were several major mistakes such as ''Turkey doesn't earn anything from Turkish straits'' which couldn't be more wrong because Turkey actually charges money from every ship under pilotage services. However it is quite low, 3500 dollars average while Suez canal charges 307.000 dollars and Panama canal 180.000 dollars average. (Please keep in mind even if more ships passing through Turkish straits than Panama or Suez they are still quite smaller ships so even if Turkey was charging same rate as them it was still going to earn a lot less in average) Still legally there is absolutely nothing stopping Turkey from charging for example 50.000 dollars as pilotage service, in fact Turkey can revoke montreux convention entirely but the convention actually benefited Turkey greatly as it could prevent heavy military traffic without any headache for decades. And even Black sea countries don't have full access rather their submarines can't pass Turkish straits which gives Turkey absolute superiority both in Marmara sea and even Black sea. There was another nonsense in the video that Russia has very large navy in Black sea but once again it is false as Turkish navy is three times larger than Russian black sea navy and they don't operate many submaries for the reason i mentioned. So Turkey doesn't need to build another canal to revoke nor demand revision for montroeux convention at all and actually can charge more money without any revision!! However this doesn't mean there are no problems with the convention, the worst one is dangerous cargo that as long as ships provide information about their dangerous cargo before they can freely pass through Turkish straits without needing any permission at all. For example that thousands of tons ammonium nitrate which caused Beirut explosion was actually coming from Georgia and it passed through Turkish straits before the ship had malfunctions in Beirut port and the cargo had to be unloaded!! So that decades old junk ship could have malfunctions in middle of Istanbul strait and same kind of explosion might have happened in middle of Istanbul where it would be much more deadlier as Istanbul is many times more populated. This is unacceptable in every way and many Turkish people expressed their opinion about dangerous cargo getting banned against monroeux convention in last decades.. Still does Turkey have to build another canal to ban dangerous cargo including oil and LNG?? NOPE, Turkey can ban any dangerous cargo right now, ofc this would hit Russia pretty bad and relations would get worsened severely but still they would have no choice but accepting it as completely revoking montreux convention would be much worse for Russia as western navies can freely enter Black sea, in fact some claim it is western powers who want the revision of montreux convention as Russia became quite aggressive in last years not Turkey at all!! Still there is an undeniable profit for Turkey which isn't toll money, isn't revision of montreux and allowing western navies pass into Black sea etc rather development of canal area. There are already new residential areas, bridges, roads etc planned and ruling party and their supporters will greatly benefit from those constructions which is why they insist for a new canal while using those arguments as an excuse...
