The conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to affect shipping in the Black Sea, where a grain treaty was previously in force, ensuring the safe passage of ships.
Professor at the University of Economics and Technology of the Chamber of Commerce and Exchange Togrul Ismail commented on Turkey’s idea of creating two separate security corridors for Russian and Ukrainian ships in the Black Sea. He spoke about this in a conversation with NSN.
Ismail stressed that if mutual guarantees for the operation of the mechanism are not provided, the corridors in the Black Sea will become a space for rivalry between Moscow and Kiev. He admitted that the corridors could work as a temporary mechanism to reduce tensions, but only if there are agreements.
“The division of the Black Sea into two corridors may turn out to be only a temporary measure vulnerable to another escalation of the conflict,” the economist concluded.
