Sample Text	The Turkish Straits are in a very important position in terms of geostrategic, geopolitical and geoeconomic evaluations on a world scale. The Marmara and Dardanelles Straits, which came under Turkish rule with the conquest of Istanbul, have been an area over which both regional and non-regional states wanted to establish control from that moment on. The Straits issue, which could not be resolved in Lausanne, the founding treaty of the Republic of Türkiye, was signed in 1936 as a result of Turkey's attempts to feel safe as the danger of World War II approached. This agreement remains valid today. After the end of the Cold War, developments especially in Georgia and Ukraine in the Black Sea and in Syria in the Eastern Mediterranean increase the importance of the said Convention. There are also risks posed by the ever-increasing oil tanker traffic in the Turkish Straits. Developments in the Turkish Straits, which strengthens its strategic importance day by day, will continue to be closely followed by both riparian states and non-regional states in the coming years., Turkish Straits hold a very significant position in terms of geostrategical, geopolitical and geoeconomic evaluations worldwide. The Marmara and Dardanelles Straits to be controlled by the Turks with the conquest of Istanbul has been a geography that both regional states and non-regional states have been desiring to control over it. The Straits issue was unresolved in Lausanne Peace Treaty, the founding treaty of the Republic of Turkey. Given the approaching of World War II, as a result of Turkey's initiatives to provide its security, the Montreux Convention was signed in 1936. This treaty is still valid today. The experienced developments primarily in Georgia and Ukraine in terms of Black Sea as well as Syria in terms of Eastern Mediterranean do increase the significance of this convention. Furthermore, one should add the risks created by ever-increasing oil tanker traffics in Turkish Straits.
