I have watched many episodes from the Caspian report. The breadth of your topics is stunning and seems to come with a real understanding of the local issues
Carlos Leon the thing is shirwan is from azerbaijan. And their language is also a turkic language, so it would ne no problem for him to pronounce it right when he wants
Probably true. But the US (or China, etc) could send in several ships for a 1-2 week exercise. The US and Russia both schedule some naval exercises near specific places as a show of strength. The US conducting one in the Black Sea would seriously upset Russia.
Considering the Montreaux Convention doesn't cover just the Bosporus but also the Dardanelles, the most a man-made canal parallel to the former could do was potentially allow more than nine warships to transit at a time, at least through that specific spot. Still doesn't solve the general issue of transit, and it's unlikely that way more than nine warships could realistically be dispatched in the first place due to the logistics of crossing the straits. Then you also have the issue of draft and displacement; if supercontainer carriers can't cross the proposed Istanbul Canal, would larger warships be able to?
Correct, which is why NATO is reported to have a rotating station of ships to keep an eye on Russia, due to incursion of Ukraine and to appease Romanian nerves.
History of War : Alexader the great, Jenghis khan,ottoman empire,colony british, Hitler The Nazi. Uni soviet with communism..in future China With ekonomi politic Foreign
to the people asking "why would anyone pay to cross, when you can cross Bosporus for free" its the same principle of why would someone use a toll bridge, when there is another for free. you see the "free" crossing is over crowded, and has an incredibly long waiting time, to not wait, the wealthier people pay a fee to use toll bridges. and if they are using those bridges, then the traffic is lowered on the "free" bridge.
It’s more than that Bosphorus crossing has not been under Turkish control and will not be in till 2023 . That’s wen Turkish government will be able to put restrictions on Bosphorus and not let any one use it. All traffic will be redirected to the man made canals.
@@Jubaer21 I hope that they don't finish the canal. It won't help that much to Turkey or the other countries. This will be a disadvantage for everybody except rich people, who participated in this.
@@OsuSweet Actually this canal will be a alternative of Bosphorus. becoz Bosphorus is the one of the busiest waterways in the world. so i hope it will be good for Turkey
Thank you, this was highly informative. I appreciated the clear and straightforward treatment of maritime issues related to the Bosporus and civilian and military access to the Black Sea.
Yanki Kiran. First, You can go fuck yourself and second, its original name is CONSTANTINOPLE and it was conquered by Muslim Turks, not by Seculars. So, Bug off!
was called Constantinople all the way to early 1900s, and before it was conquered by muslims in 1453, so it's Constantinople. you do not represent the entire Turkish nation, so shut your jaw up. Majority Turks are Muslim and Conservative, and Loyal to Islamic values, rather than gay ataturk's secular values.
The purpose of these mega projects is to enrich certain corporations that are close to the government. The government has amended state bidding law 187 times since 2002. I belive a honest state will have one bidding law that looks out for the best interest of the nation. If you change bidding law 187 times then your aim is to deliver these projects to certain corporations.
As an American I don't want US war ships in the black sea. I'm no fan of Russia either but they do deserve some breathing room. The US would be non too pleased by Russian war ships off the coast of NYC or DC.
The Russians already sail warships off the US Atlantic coast. The decision should really rest with the Turks, because it would be their canal and not an international waterway like the Bosporus.
With America pulling out of the Global system that it created 70 years ago America will not care about Russia and its shrinking population. When the system collapses fully there are going to be three conflicts: The Russia war where Russia will be trying to push their borders back into Poland, Belorusse and Romania in order to be able to protect themselves when they have a Army 1/4 the current size. The Iranian Saudi war over religion, culture and customers and the East Asian war where all of those countries are going to have to sail their navies to escort oil from the Middle East after picking a side in a Middle eastern knife fight and then escort that oil back. All it takes is China to attack Taiwan or Japan to attack Korea for oil and free trade is dead.
I've never heard someone with a foreign accent master the the English language so well. There are plenty of native English speaker who don't even speak as well as Shirvan.
This project is must for Turkey. Bosphorus is a dangerous place for ship traffic. So many ship crashes happen in Bosphorus every year, and most of them are oil tankers. Turkey will certainly fulfill this project. no doubt...
The Truth Hurts So dangerous that its worth spending 10 billion and splitting a continent ? Why would people switch from Bosporus (which is free) to this 2nd canal which is not free ?
China is exporting high tech, that should have the main credit. China's infrastructure projects are tools for political/geostrategical gains more than mere economic ones...some critics even call them debt traps. Above all Turkish construction companies globally rank first in domestic governmental contracts (thanks to the corruption scheme they breeded) which does not contribute to a sustainable economic growth. This canal project is yet another one since it will open up the northern part of the city for housing projects. Ruling party elite has already bought the lands nearby the proposed canal. All these are so boringly happening here everyday (yeah these people are this cheap and corrupt) that none of the deep geostrategical analyses in the video matter that much.
You only need to look at a similar project nearby, in Romania. The Danube-Black Sea canal connects the Danube river to the major port of Constanta. It took Ceausescu a lot longer than expected, was massively over budget, rife with human rights violations and the loans he took to build it are part of what led to the eventual financial debacle in the 80s and his removal from power... Nowadays, while completed, it is not used to its full capacity, most companies prefering the 150-200 nautical mile longer (but free) route via the danube delta. If Erdogan tries to build this... well, history has a tendency to repeat itself.
Hey Shirvan, here is an idea for a video that I think many people might like to see: Detailed Analysis of the FALL OF ISIS. I think that we have already established what factors caused the RISE of ISIS (US invasion, Insurgency, Sunni-Shia War etc.), but right now, when ISIS is about to lose the last couple of villages on Euphrates and Golan heights, and not controlling any major cities for nearly a year now, I think we can safely conclude that ISIS is effectively gone. We want to hear your thoughts on what factors led to the slow decline and eventual death of ISIS as a military, and political entity. Also, since you are better informed than most of us, perhaps you could give us some actual facts (instead of MSM propaganda we are bombarded with on a daily basis) in regards to how many soldiers did ISIS actually have, how many people lived under it's rule, how did the economy function, who were the actual people in charge of the government and military, what battles turned the tides on ISIS and how etc. etc. Please upvote if you agree, so Shirvan can see this!
"many soldiers did Daesh actually have" 2,000-6,000 "e, how many people lived under it's rule" At the least? 20,000 people "how did the economy function" Selling oil and Ancient Artifacts on the Black market. Drug Making and selling and smuggling and gun making and selling and smuggling. ", who were the actual people in charge of the government and military" Ex-Governors/Commanders of Saddam's Baath party. " what battles turned the tides on Daesh?" There was no battle, it just took the combined pressure from Syrian and Iraqi Muslims with Coalition Airstrikes that pushed them back.
so stupid when people say rebuilding ottoman imperial when you have better healtcare system and almost none homeless in Turkey comparing USA and other developed countries.
l can tell after living in France,Turkey,USA,Canada . In Turkey people take care of each other or Family members .they dont send their elders to retiring houses . if you pay for your retirement or have a basic insurance through your company you work you would be covered including dental care and l bilieve you only pay half or less for the prescription drugs. l felt so bad in USA to see elders over 65 still working that they can pay their medical bills and homeless everwhere . Less in Canada and free medical care is better than USA .

In fact we had and still have Kurdish government officials. One became the prime minister back in 80's. Only Kurds living in camps are refugees from Syria, who we are currently looking after with our tax money because every other country turned them away.

This project will make Turkey rise again InshAllah and this is painful only for the Traitors and enemies of Turkey.From Pakistan we wish all the best to Turkey. InshAllah instead of being called a secular state, Turkey will be called an Islamic state again and InshAllah, the Turkish nation will always remember its great past and stick to its traditions. Salute to Tayyub Erdogan❣️who is a real patriot and great muslim leader.🇵🇰❣️🇹🇷.
But you see how in the Kerch Strait, Putin has effectively denied access from Mariupol to the Black Sea. In Turkey, Erdogan feels that it is a vulnerability to have only one access point between the Med. and the Black Sea. Choke points can be easily attacked. Turkey is blocked to the East, so West is Turkeys opportunity point. Thus the need for the enlargement of the canals, the massive bridge and airport structures. Turkeys only true friend in the region is Turkey. She needs to protect her access to commerce, shipping, tourism and in general economic activity.
Ehhhhh always disagreed with that. Would be like saying that destroying Ummayad's arts in the Iberian peninsula is nobody's business but the Spanish and Portuguese.
@@denizforst not really, there are international organisations protecting artefacts and heritage. You can't just destroy arts even if it was made by an occupying powers. Which is also why we (big "we") can't let the Turks turn the hagia sofia back into a mosque allowed to muslim only (it's a museum right now) as peoples from all over should be allowed to visit it.
Sea of Marmara is a unique sea. Its structure is very different than all other seas. A canal will ruin Marmara. It will flood Marmara with organic rich water of Black Sea. This will leave Marmara with less oxygen each year. Finally, Marmara will eventually stink in the following years. Whenever there is a southwester wind, the people of Istanbul will suffer the rotten smell. After Erdogan dies, people who breathe the rotten egg smell will commemorate him in "lovely words".
Jay no, but that we are very different from what you generally think about sub saharan africa. And from what aspects you consider us savages?, to what region have you been? And the fact that we eat our cultural food with our hand doesn't mean we don't eat other foods with spoons and forks.
Jay "Seeing how you exist is all I need to see" I think using the word "live" instead of "exist" would be better to make you message understandable. And? What aspects did you see? Also, I asked you where have you been in ethiopia (if you ever been, as you didn't answer, making me sceptic if you visited the country). Because, you know, there are more than 80 different ethnicities in ethiopia (second on the amount of ethnic groups in africa), you could have visited the oromos down south, amhara and tigrays, or the southwest tribes.
Osman Oglu You do realize that you already HAVE a free natural canal right ? Why would ANY ship want to PAY to go through this man made canal ? Bosporus is literally free. Would you rather pay 50$ for a road that has no traffic or not pay for a road that has traffic ? The answer is simple. Suez and Panama canals were built because they literally split two continents allowing ships to travel through the continents instead of going around them. What Erdogan wants to do is create a 2nd canal for no apparent reason.
Michael Scofield for money dude, he can just tax the istanbul canal. While filling the bosphorus with traffic, basically you wait a day or you go through the istanbul canal.
That canal is Turkey decision. Also it will develop the town. Not to mention that it is a good defensive line against an attack on Turkey from Greece or Bulgaria.
Build a long 2-way conveyor belt where the container rolled and received by different ship when arrived on different side. Does it more effective? No. Will this be entertaining? YES.
@@thepebblesexplore83 yeah it is pretty crowded. I'm more of a nature girl myself so I enjoy natural landscapes that are empty but Istanbul just has so much history and magic to it that you almost forget how crowded it is.
erdoğan:hey propokis wanna hear a joke propokis:sure erdoğan:constantiople propokis:i dont get it erdoğan:exactly. its istanbul propokis:............ REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE never gets old
Turkey and Russia may have their differences, buy Turkey and the US also does as to assume Erdogan's willingness to permit US navy through the channel.
You underestimate just how messed up the Russians are compared to the US. I admit the faults of the US but those of Russia are far greater. Prime example is to look to the Ukraine, if the US didn't have Turkeys back, things would be quite different.
@Al 72 bud.....its the Ukraine. No matter how you want to spin it. It was apart of the Ukraine, Russia invaded and stole it. Truly it is that simple at the core of things. I come from the Ukraine, I still have family there, including in Crimea.
@Al 72 We can go back and forth over ukraine, turkey, and russia taking and retaking Crimea. It belongs to the Ukrainian people and was stolen in the modern era while the world turned a blind eye. I'm not ignoring anything. You must go way father back than the mid 1900s.
Turkey can not prevent any ship to pass through Bosphorus without any fee. But the sea traffic is already a problem and most of the vessels are already waiting for hours (sometime days) on the line to pass. Turkish government can easily restrict the passages because of the traffic. Commercial ships will (most probably) prefer paying the bill for the cannal instead of waiting on the line for days.
istanbul is a word and has a greek origin. eis ten polin means in the city . it was not a brand new word for everyone who had lived in istanbul in those times. and ataturk who was founder of secular modern turkey has changed the name to istanbul cuz he wanted to differentiate turkey from backward ottoman empire.
All these construction and infrastructure initiatives led in Asia are on a stupefying scale! Projects Neom, Belt&Road, Tokyo Olympics, and more. Some already completed, only just, and already on their way to obsolescence. This will be the future in the next two centuries - massive constructions, spanning continents! We may yet see a canal between the Baltic and the Black seas, and land reclamation that will see THEM turned into canals. Very interesting times we live in, to be able to witness it all.

Probably true. But the US (or China, etc) could send in several ships for a 1-2 week exercise. The US and Russia both schedule some naval exercises near specific places as a show of strength. The US conducting one in the Black Sea would seriously upset Russia.

"many soldiers did Daesh actually have"
2,000-6,000
"e, how many people lived under it's rule"

Kurds living im camps? Now that's rich. Turkey has more Kurds than the rest of the world, yes there are some problems but not like China level detentions or camps. In fact we had and still have Kurdish government officials. One became the prime minister back in 80's. Only Kurds living in camps are refugees from Syria, who we are currently looking after with our tax money because every other country turned them away. The EU, who supposedly cares about Kurds won't let them in.
I hate Erdogan, but this canal is a great idea. The massive revenues it makes will easily help to repair the very localised environmental issues
Just visited Istanbul for 1 week. It's the best City I have seen.
That's because it was built by the Romans not the Turkish invaders.
Omeeer D Modern London and Roman London are two different cities. Roman London is a city state inside of the city of London.
fruich Look up the records you’re self you lazy bum
@@Bluesonofman We are not invaders, we are the owners. Also, Roman Istanbul (as haters call it Constantinople lol) is a city state inside of the city of Modern Istanbul. Don't talk about stuff that you don't know a shit about. #hatersgonnahate #potatoesgonnapotate
uAozzie have you visited any other city on earth

Some people are forgetting something the natural strait shall stop being free in 2023, since the treaty ends after 100 years.
Exactly he didn't even bother to report that..
Its not true.. Cite any link
No, it doesn't.
1st. There's no time limit on The Montreux Treaty.
2nd. The Montreux Treaty was signed in 1936.
3rd. It would be in 2036 if it had a 100 years time limit.
4th. Stop being a parrot and repeat whatever you heard from your imam or sheikh and read the damn treaty. It's not that long.
5th. Here: tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montr%C3%B6_Bo%C4%9Fazlar_S%C3%B6zle%C5%9Fmesi

This project will make Turkey rise again InshAllah and this is painful only for the Traitors and enemies of Turkey.From Pakistan we wish all the best to Turkey. InshAllah instead of being called a secular state, Turkey will be called an Islamic state again and InshAllah, the Turkish nation will always remember its great past and stick to its traditions. Salute to Tayyub Erdogan❣️who is a real patriot and great muslim leader.🇵🇰❣️🇹🇷.

But you see how in the Kerch Strait, Putin has effectively denied access from Mariupol to the Black Sea. In Turkey, Erdogan feels that it is a vulnerability to have only one access point between the Med. and the Black Sea. Choke points can be easily attacked. Turkey is blocked to the East, so West is Turkeys opportunity point. Thus the need for the enlargement of the canals, the massive bridge and airport structures. Turkeys only true friend in the region is Turkey. She needs to protect her access to commerce, shipping, tourism and in general economic activity.
Great Channel.
If it's viable, the question of finance does NOT arise.
So interesting! Well done
Say what you will about Dictators, they get busy and things done. Mega projects in particular seem to be their strong suit.
Yeah, but mega projects almost never make financial sense. And the money would be better used elsewhere.
@@scoobydoobers23 the Panama canal can be considered a mega project. Or the Suez canal. Or you believe they don't make financial sense?
Great graphics! It really aids your video analysis.
Wow! Very informative. Good job!
I enjoy your video very much and very insightful in short time
Please cover the geopolitical impacts of Gawadar Port of Pakistan.
Awesome report.
I don’t wanna be that guy but ‘as such’ does not mean the same as ‘therefore’
Well presented.. thank you very much

Really interesting reports
Loaning 700 billion dollars, with a total GDP of 857 billion and already a 239 billion dollar national debt, what could go wrong?
AvariceUntied did you watch video man
Plus the continued deficit spending
Increase in debt to goverment by policy.
Thank you. Ypur points are good. I was wondering what was this canal and you explained it well to me as i dont know anything about it.
It's nobody's business but the Turks.... Istanbuuuuuulllllll
Ehhhhh always disagreed with that.
Would be like saying that destroying Ummayad's arts in the Iberian peninsula is nobody's business but the Spanish and Portuguese.
Me AndMeToo well we dont live in a utopic peaceful world.. so Its Turks bussiness and and spanish bussiens about the art thingy you mentioned about
@@denizforst not really, there are international organisations protecting artefacts and heritage.
You can't just destroy arts even if it was made by an occupying powers. Which is also why we (big "we") can't let the Turks turn the hagia sofia back into a mosque allowed to muslim only (it's a museum right now) as peoples from all over should be allowed to visit it.
Sea of Marmara is a unique sea. Its structure is very different than all other seas. A canal will ruin Marmara. It will flood Marmara with organic rich water of Black Sea. This will leave Marmara with less oxygen each year. Finally, Marmara will eventually stink in the following years. Whenever there is a southwester wind, the people of Istanbul will suffer the rotten smell. After Erdogan dies, people who breathe the rotten egg smell will commemorate him in "lovely words".
Talk about ethiopia's recent political & econamic led by the new Prime Minister
Thanks...
PS. Love your channel
Jay
who are you calling savage?
sorry to break you view, but ethiopia is not like the rest of africa...
Jay no, but that we are very different from what you generally think about sub saharan africa.
And from what aspects you consider us savages?, to what region have you been?
And the fact that we eat our cultural food with our hand doesn't mean we don't eat other foods with spoons and forks.
Jay
"Seeing how you exist is all I need to see"
I think using the word "live" instead of "exist" would be better to make you message understandable.
And? What aspects did you see?
Also, I asked you where have you been in ethiopia (if you ever been, as you didn't answer, making me sceptic if you visited the country).
Because, you know, there are more than 80 different ethnicities in ethiopia (second on the amount of ethnic groups in africa), you could have visited the oromos down south, amhara and tigrays, or the southwest tribes.
@Jay wow your an ass hole yes we eat with our hands so what
Sultan 1. Uzun Erdogan Khan, The liberator and renovator of Ottoman!
As a Turk I would fully support this project if the funding for it doesnt come from social funds. The people of Turkey would suffer paying this.
Osman Oglu Wtf? did you know that you had to pay 102₺ to go across the 3.bridge that was built in istanbul by erdogan?
Osman Oglu you are blinded by nationalism dude... People are more important than the state
Osman Oglu
You do realize that you already HAVE a free natural canal right ?
Why would ANY ship want to PAY to go through this man made canal ?
Bosporus is literally free.
Would you rather pay 50$ for a road that has no traffic or not pay for a road that has traffic ?
The answer is simple.
Suez and Panama canals were built because they literally split two continents allowing ships to travel through the continents instead of going around them.
What Erdogan wants to do is create a 2nd canal for no apparent reason.
Michael Scofield for money dude, he can just tax the istanbul canal. While filling the bosphorus with traffic, basically you wait a day or you go through the istanbul canal.
nikola 1809
But why would people pay the tax when they can go to Bosporus for free ?
Its free !
That canal is Turkey decision. Also it will develop the town. Not to mention that it is a good defensive line against an attack on Turkey from Greece or Bulgaria.
And then this past week the Turkish Financial Crisis went Boom.
Doskonały pomysł
Well done Erdogan. The greatest leader Turkey has ever had.
Let the triggering begin.
Build a long 2-way conveyor belt where the container rolled and received by different ship when arrived on different side. Does it more effective? No. Will this be entertaining? YES.
Istanbul is gorgeous. My goodness. The Turks really took care of it and developed it even more.
Mi Pillsburry I want to visit but I’ve heard it’s super crowded. Not bad, just not my thing.
@@thepebblesexplore83 yeah it is pretty crowded. I'm more of a nature girl myself so I enjoy natural landscapes that are empty but Istanbul just has so much history and magic to it that you almost forget how crowded it is.
Brilliant 🌷
erdoğan:hey propokis wanna hear a joke
propokis:sure
erdoğan:constantiople
propokis:i dont get it
erdoğan:exactly. its istanbul
propokis:............
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
never gets old
Great video....
Turkey and Russia may have their differences, buy Turkey and the US also does as to assume Erdogan's willingness to permit US navy through the channel.
You underestimate just how messed up the Russians are compared to the US. I admit the faults of the US but those of Russia are far greater. Prime example is to look to the Ukraine, if the US didn't have Turkeys back, things would be quite different.
@@yoursafeplace8476 this is an ignorant comment. Ukraine is not Russia.
@@ttystikkrocks1042 You misunderstand. My point is Ukraine isn't Russia, Russia literally invaded and stole part of the Ukraine.
@Al 72 bud.....its the Ukraine. No matter how you want to spin it. It was apart of the Ukraine, Russia invaded and stole it. Truly it is that simple at the core of things. I come from the Ukraine, I still have family there, including in Crimea.
@Al 72 We can go back and forth over ukraine, turkey, and russia taking and retaking Crimea. It belongs to the Ukrainian people and was stolen in the modern era while the world turned a blind eye. I'm not ignoring anything. You must go way father back than the mid 1900s.
Wow pretty nice :)
Turkey can not prevent any ship to pass through Bosphorus without any fee. But the sea traffic is already a problem and most of the vessels are already waiting for hours (sometime days) on the line to pass. Turkish government can easily restrict the passages because of the traffic. Commercial ships will (most probably) prefer paying the bill for the cannal instead of waiting on the line for days.
And yet it would take years to these bill's to cover the cost of the canal.
istanbul is a word and has a greek origin. eis ten polin means in the city . it was not a brand new word for everyone who had lived in istanbul in those times. and ataturk who was founder of secular modern turkey has changed the name to istanbul cuz he wanted to differentiate turkey from backward ottoman empire.
basically the changing is the symbol of new republic which is secular and modern.
@@xander1201 I wish it was called Constantinopal Instead cuz that was its main name.
@@hadi8699 it’s had several more names throughout history. Constantinople is nothing special
🇹🇷💪❤️

Turkey is experiencing something like ten percent weekly inflation at the moment so dream on.
Russia deserves this after what they did to Syrian people.
All these construction and infrastructure initiatives led in Asia are on a stupefying scale! Projects Neom, Belt&Road, Tokyo Olympics, and more. Some already completed, only just, and already on their way to obsolescence. This will be the future in the next two centuries - massive constructions, spanning continents! We may yet see a canal between the Baltic and the Black seas, and land reclamation that will see THEM turned into canals. Very interesting times we live in, to be able to witness it all.
looks like a bufferzone in case a future enemy advances to instabul.. it can be a huge obstacle before taking the city
You know he's going to piss Russia off eventually they've had war clashes 14 times in the past historical times..all Ed has to do is drop the NATO alliances and stop straddling the fence..or are you scared ED?
Very sensible projects Turkey will do that easily
TURKEY SHOULD CHARGE OR REFUSE ENTRY TO ANY SHIP, PAKISTAN NUCLEAR MISSILES SHOULD HELP TURKEY TO FORCE THIS TO ANY COUNTRY WHO WANTS FREE PASSAGE!! 🇵🇰🇹🇷🇦🇿💚❤💙💪💪💪🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
we support this and Erdogan
brace yourselves before all the "its constantinople not istanbul REEEEEEE" butthurt comments... oh wait they are already here.
Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks.
Can't wait to get my hands on some premium canal real estate

nice report ~ very intriguing ~
Im with my shovel now, lets dig the hell out of this river
It'd be interesting if you'd be able to make a report on the Geoconomics of the Bermejo Canal (a Canal project dating 1853 in northern part of Argentina). IMO, it would made the entire geopolitics of south America shift
Also, on the same area, the Geoeconomics of the Paraná Medio Dam (would be one of the most important infraestructure projects in South America)
Allah blessed Turkey 🇮🇳
