Abstract :To identify the Straits as the Turkish Straits has historical, political and legal justification, such as: respect for past and present general practice; due regard to Turkey`s sovereign rights over this particular area and to its jurisdiction according to established principles of international law; and to indicate and emphasise the location of the Straits, like the other straits of the world. The Turkish Straits comprises `the Strait of the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara and the Bosphorus`1 and named by the general term `Straits`.2 The literature of international law generally uses the expression the `Turkish Straits`, as in Ferenc A. Vali,3 Anthony R. Deluca,4 H.N. Howard,5 H.G. Knight,6 Christos L. Rozakis and Petros N. Stagos,7 etc.
