| 2018-12-06 |
| [ALMASDARNEWS] The U.S. Navy is making preparations to enter the Black Sea’s waters as tensions between Russia and Ukraine reach an all-time high over the recent detention of the Ukrainian sailors, a CNN report said on Wednesday. According to the report, the U.S. military requested that the State Department notify ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... about its potential plan to enter the Black Sea through the Bosphorus Strait. CNN said that a State Department front man said, "the United States carries out its activities consistent with the terms of the Montreux Convention. We will not, however, comment on the nature of our diplomatic correspondence with the Government of Turkey." |
