Abstract:
In the present paper we examine the geopolitical function of the commercial channel in the Dardanelles-Aegean Sea. We analyze all the risks for peace and stability in the region due to the Turkish claims on the Aegean Sea. We also analyze the strategic interdependence of the two parts of the channel and the position of the Big Naval Powers towards a possible globalization and transformation of this channel to an “International Strait”. The paper ends with a description of NATO’s role in the materialization of the scenario for the globalization of the above-mentioned channel.
