  title = {Russia{\textquoteright}s War on Ukraine and the Montreux Convention as T{\"u}rkiye{\textquoteright}s International Law Instrument and Policy Tool for the Security of the Black Sea},
  abstract = {<p>The Montreux Convention remains a key legal and policy tool in maintaining Black Sea security, particularly in the context of Russia\&$\#$039;s large-scale aggression against Ukraine launched in February 2022. To preserve its role, T{\"u}rkiye seeks to prevent any debate over the convention and ensure its continuous enforcement. By pursuing a policy of balance between NATO and Russia, T{\"u}rkiye aims to promote peace in the Black Sea rather than witness competition and conflict to its north. Russia\&$\#$039;s aggression against Ukraine has elevated T{\"u}rkiye{\textquoteright}s role as a key actor in ensuring regional security. Moreover, from Ankara{\textquoteright}s perspective, the Montreux regime serves as a crucial policy tool and instrument of international law for formulating balanced strategies and guaranteeing security in the Black Sea region.</p>
