Several retired admirals of the Turkish army announced on Saturday 3 April that the government and the Justice and Development Party are doing something wrong. policies regarding the 1936 Montreux Convention guaranteeing freedom of navigation in the Bosphorus and Dardanelles regions.

According to the military, this agreement must be strictly observed, and Ankara has no right to question it. In response, according to France Presse, Recep Tayyip Erdogan ordered the arrest of the rebellious admirals.



The retired military stressed their commitment to the Montreux Convention in response to the speaker of the Turkish parliament, Mustafa Shentop, who expressed his opinion about Erdogan's right to withdraw from the agreement "at will." However, later Shentop clarified that he had in mind only the full powers of the head of state.

On Monday 5 April, the arrests of the admirals began. According to the General Prosecutor's Office, arrest warrants have been issued against ten people, and four more ex-admirals must appear at the prosecutor's office on their own due to their venerable age. The nature of the charges against the military is not yet known. According to Turkish media reports, some officials spoke of the admirals as "the fifth column" and lovers of coups d'état.

On the same day, the Turkish President ordered to convene an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers to discuss the current situation.

    In 1952, Turkey joined NATO, after which the Americans deployed nuclear warheads on its territory.
    It was then that the Turkish leaders were again dizzy with imaginary power, and some already recalled the good times of the Ottoman Empire.
    And since we are so great again, the Turkish authorities thought, we will close the Bosphorus for Soviet ships.
    Moscow did not make a concerned face, summon the Turkish ambassador and poke a diplomatic note in his nose. Soviet Foreign Minister Comrade Gromyko, in a conversation with American journalists, said that the Soviet fleet does not need the Bosphorus to enter the Mediterranean Sea. On which the questions naturally rained down - how is this possible, did you teach geography? Gromyko calmly replied: just two volleys and besides the Bosphorus there will be more straits, though I'm not sure if Istanbul will remain! Literally on the same day, all claims from the Turkish side were withdrawn.

    For some reason, all Eastern rulers over the years are denied thinking capabilities and megalomania is turned on. Erdogan is no exception, a little more and he will be made a saint, unless, of course, he is sent to the houris before.

        Gromyko was a very smart and very correct politician and such stupid statements are sooooo far from him. This is all from myth-making.

          Alexzn... Since these words are attributed to Gromyko when he was at cocktail in the White House and talked to American journalists, I will note that any joke will look stupid if you take it seriously.

          The clever Turks were apparently reinsured when they found out that there is some truth in any Soviet joke. (joke) smile

    But, for example, Boris Yulin thinks the opposite
    Maybe Nathan, the gloomy Troll, is lying, but the historian is right? No, some kind of nonsense ...
