As a Pole, what would you say if Denmark charged Polish ships money for passage through the natural waterways of the Store Belt and Øresund? In principle, it would be like Turkey asking for money from ships sailing across the Bosphorus. There are differences in international law between artificial and natural sea waterways. Natural sea waterways are considered international waterways around the world and are free of charge even if they are located in national territories. The only thing that states can require is the obligation to have a pilotage and that pilotage services have to be paid for by vessels. The situation is different with the use of artificial waterways (Canals), as these have to be financed and maintained by the fees. I live directly on the Kiel Canal and know what constant maintenance work is necessary. That's why a small sailing boat pays 12 euros and a 200 m large freighter costs 2,500 to 3,000 euros. In addition, there are similarly high costs for pilots and canal helmsman. That looks at 42,000 passages like a lot of money the state makes, but at least two-thirds of it goes to maintaining the canal. It will be similar with the Suez Canal, because it often silts up and the water depth has to be constantly adjusted. Greetings to the neighboring country.

Let's get this straight. Turkey wants to make a new navigation channel to relieve traffic and still earn some money, but DW has taken a stand against it for environmental reasons. So that's because it must be really good for Turkey. DW's opposition is a strong indication that it will be good for Turkey and the world.

Why DW news (I mean germany) is interested about this project anyways ? Turkey is a sovereign nation and it has every right to do whatever it wants in its territory. Periodt.
Even as a foreigner know this project is only a nightmare to other countries but not turkey. After you build this you can make some "accidents" and close the so called public channel and make money from this canal like Suez. DW is only a biased media representing Germany.
@Agron 11 France, England, Armenia and Greece were swallowing the lands. So yes, under that reality they signed the treaty. If they are strong enough they can scrap the agreement, since only the powerful sets the rules. Till then, they can open a new canal.
They have an agreement signed till 2023 that the strait is considered international water. In 2023 it will be monetized...hence why the West is getting a stomach ache
pff. I remember When Erdogan was building the biggest airport of Turkey DW once again was typing silly about the situation. And than after a few month of compeleting the airport, the biggest airline company of Germany went bankrupt. Stop trying to save Turkey DW, save yourself.

This! This comment should be pinned up. We all know why Europe is so against this project. But yeah, let's keep tell Turks it's about environment and earthquakes :)
Just think that Berlin was once covered in beautiful trees and water sources and then they cut everything and started building. Germans should protest for Berlin to be returned to its former state. Don’t you think so, DW.?
Turkey gives away 8 billion dollars as foreign aid. They should cut 50 % of this aid money in order to support this project. , Once Canal Istanbul is completed I belive displaced residents will be provided with better housing facilities and they will have a good opportunity of trade and business. Its will be a benefit for the residents of this particular area and the nation as a whole. Most importantly it will attract more foreign investments and more tourist in turkey
If Germany have the same opportunity to build something like this they would just build it and everyone would hear for it once when it’s done lol. but here we are talking about Turkey and their own good because we “love” Turkey 😅
Completly wrong. Politicans try to build Highways (for example the A20 in northern germany) but the politicans are not able to complete the Highway because of protesting citizens.
Ever heard of the power line through Bavaria, the progress of which is extremely delayed and disrupted by citizen protests? Did you notice that nord stream 2 was stopped?
This analogy works only if you have ads that goes for hours without a addon or app that blocks them. Ultimately Turkish govt. already gave out a number of scientists that put the number of passings through the Bosporus at 25k/year for a healthy environment and risk free passing of the straits. Which is already half of what is now going through. Therefore, put on some more unskippable ads to your RUclips and some off days for server maintenance, and you're good to go!

You are contradicting yourself in this video, listen to yourself carefully and you would know. It explains you also can not find strong flaws in this project for Turkey but gains and loss for EU.

The Bosphorus, through which approximately 43,000 ships pass annually, is a natural waterway with a narrowest point of 698 m. The increase in tonnage in ship traffic, the increase in ship sizes as a result of technological developments, and the increase in the number of ships (tankers) carrying fuel and other similar dangerous/toxic substances pose a great pressure and threat on Istanbul. In the Bosphorus, there are sharp turns, strong currents, and vertically intersecting urban maritime traffic with transit ship traffic that risk waterway transportation. Hundreds of thousands of residents live on both sides of the Bosphorus. The Bosphorus is a place of commerce, life and transit for millions of Istanbulites during the day. The Bosphorus is becoming more dangerous every year in terms of the risks posed by the passing ship traffic. The annual number of ship transits, which was 3-4 thousand 100 years ago, has increased and has reached 45-50 thousand today. Due to the one-way traffic organization implemented to increase navigational safety, the average waiting time in the Bosphorus for large ships is approximately 14.5 for each ship stuck in hold. is the hour. The waiting time can sometimes take 3-4 days or even a week depending on the ship traffic and weather conditions and sometimes an accident or malfunction. In this framework, it has become mandatory to plan an alternative transit corridor to the Bosphorus. Safe travel for our people will be ensured by preventing the risk of fatal accidents caused by the 90-degree vertical intersection of the ships transiting the city lines, which carry 500 thousand passengers a day, with Kanal Istanbul.
this is sacrifice by Turkish people for future Turkish generation.... So many countries are obstructing means you are on a right path... Also imagine ship containing Ammonium Nitrate caught fire in Bosporus that like of the coast of Sri Lanka or Beirut..

Let's get this straight. Turkey wants to make a new navigation channel to relieve traffic and still earn some money, but DW has taken a stand against it for environmental reasons. So that's because it must be really good for Turkey. DW's opposition is a strong indication that it will be good for Turkey and the world.

@@RedHair651 if Germany cares so much about ecology they can shut down nuclear reactors in all around europe(Since Germany is the backbone of European Union and Industry ) and stop mass producing and manufacturing cars and they should stop exporting cars to all around world.
They showed the same reason when the 3rd airport of Istanbul was being built. The migration of the birds will be in danger!! LOL!!!

DW gives Turks, who reject this project a voice, that they cannot get in Turkey because there is no longer a free press in Turkey.
The Bosphorus, through which approximately 43,000 ships pass annually, is a natural waterway with a narrowest point of 698 m. The increase in tonnage in ship traffic, the increase in ship sizes as a result of technological developments, and the increase in the number of ships (tankers) carrying fuel and other similar dangerous/toxic substances pose a great pressure and threat on Istanbul.
In the Bosphorus, there are sharp turns, strong currents, and vertically intersecting urban maritime traffic with transit ship traffic that risk waterway transportation. Hundreds of thousands of residents live on both sides of the Bosphorus. The Bosphorus is a place of commerce, life and transit for millions of Istanbulites during the day. The Bosphorus is becoming more dangerous every year in terms of the risks posed by the passing ship traffic. The annual number of ship transits, which was 3-4 thousand 100 years ago, has increased and has reached 45-50 thousand today. Due to the one-way traffic organization implemented to increase navigational safety, the average waiting time in the Bosphorus for large ships is approximately 14.5 for each ship stuck in hold. is the hour. The waiting time can sometimes take 3-4 days or even a week depending on the ship traffic and weather conditions and sometimes an accident or malfunction.
In this framework, it has become mandatory to plan an alternative transit corridor to the Bosphorus. Safe travel for our people will be ensured by preventing the risk of fatal accidents caused by the 90-degree vertical intersection of the ships transiting the city lines, which carry 500 thousand passengers a day, with Kanal Istanbul.
Unfortunately, you could get bad actors who intentionally try to jam up a canal.

hi dude wanna speak politics? if you are strong enough, mature enough than let's talk. why are you afraid to talk ? !!!. do you know politics and geopolitics?
@@emreaka3965 which you are terro-rists and tritoars . you want Turkey to bow low to the west by any means necessary. plus you literally worship the west like LITERALLY
@@ahmadfrhan5265 he is turk btw
@@ahmadfrhan5265 What are you talking about, all that Europe wants is to once again shake hands with Turkey as equals, this bs that Erdogan does now (to be fair the first few years were great with Erdogan, but he turned into a maniac) hinders it. This emnity between Turkey and the European Nations hurts both, it hurts Turkey much more ofc (as we can see by it's current state) but it would be better for both to come back to old terms, for that though Erdogan needs to leave.
Turkey's progression is west's nightmare. No wonder channels like DW always portray negative image of Turkey
Why shouldn't news outlets cover the merits and downsides of both sides positions'? Are you not used to that in Turkey?
Lol arabs and pakis are not even liked here in turkey. You have been brainwashed.
DW and Germany have they ever seen any positive act in Turkey all your reports are attacking Turkey even if they do well. This is not fair and not professional
Germans see Turkey as their biggest Rival like all other big European States they fear nothiing more than a strong Turkey, ever more than Russia.
@@Levo_D_Angelo I don't think Germany should be compare with turkey.
Turkey has nothing in front of Germany.
Neither they have economy neither they have a influence like Germany
@@Levo_D_Angelo Lol 😂.
They both are Allies in war. There's nothing sensable in your comment.
And Russia is a threat for nato.(also china)
@@user-jj7yh4vb3j China is threats for only usa not for Europe
@@lightyagami9409 i wrote nato.😑
Do u know that USA is in nato? And attack on one country means attack on all.?
Why did not the Turkish government consulted DW before starting the construction of the Canal? 😀😀
A better question will be "Why turkey didn't consult with the citizens of Istanbul?"
@@samuelroot6045 I am sure they did. DW picked up few hundred of Gulen's supporters and showed that whole Istanbul is against it.
Weapons of Mass Deception = Media
It’s a shame only protesters where interviewed! Not supporters.
Supporters are arabs
@@TvGunslingeRvT did you counted them?
Do not get hope Feraz, we will not let your kind to take any piece of advantage from this "project".
If 10 people say they want it and only 2 people say that they dont then you will only show those 2 people..
What a nightmare. Reform the Montreal Treaty instead.
Goodness, there is nothing more important than potable drinking water and good agricultural land.
How dangerous are these "Strong men".
Turkey didn't want to sign the UN convention on the law of the Sea. They didn't want to renegotiate with the international community.
@@FOLIPE are you Turk?if you aren't you don't know anything about Turks
Megalomaniacs in history had a bad ending..

Anything that makes west bark is good for Turkey ....
Literally
👍😄
Lol you are right. When Istanbul Airport was built, DW was crying again lol :D
@@idkmyname7211 because of covid 19 pendemic.
Agree. They too scared
You know that when Western main stream media is reporting against development you are doing something good.
German media, specifically. Germany is heavily involved in international trade, and much of that trade passes through the Turkish Straits, so of course, they aren't going to appreciate new tolls. The potential military application of this project could actually be beneficial to NATO as a whole, but Germany has shown how willing it is to disregard the interests of its allies.
This project will succeed. Let the opposition talk, but they can do nothing.
Exactly! That is different in a democracy where you discuss and opposition actually can change things, you listen to science etc, compared to here in Turkey where mr Almighty rules.
@@Bo-tz4nw All the opposition say is just a BS. Science says nothing about this project only Scientists who vote for the opposition. Distinguish between Science and Scientist. Science is natural but scientist has an opinion.
Why would he want to build that? Oh, money! More money, more money! The people build it, private interests( Erdogan?) will run it and make all the money.
Why all countries makes billions from their canals..and turkey not making any?
Other countries do this but it's a problem everytime turkey does anything 😂😂😂 usa literlly use a whole country as a canal😭😭
Well don’t use it so you don’t have to pay for it then, it’s just that easy. Take another route.
What’s your problem. Why is it such a concern?
Erdogan is constantly collecting taxes from us. And when we speak our mind, we are taken into custody
The thing is yeah it is about money but it is not about passing fees some fellows bought lands nearby of new channel so theye planning to make money from this lands
As a Turkish citizen and a Turk, I denounce Canal Istanbul its a massacare project for nature, plus already broken Turkish economy is not able to handle such a waste of money.
West and American never bothered about environment when it came to build their own infrastructure but when other countries try to develop infra west and American blood start boiling and present them as biggest environmentalists...
So if someone else does something bad, means you should do it to? See the video, the main complainers are Istanbul citizens (whose houses, farms, forests and freshwater reservoirs are being destroyed).
Do you know that Suez and Panama Canal were built in 1850 and 1880, right? At that time environmentalists barely existed.
Great work ottomans...keep it up...

Bosporus is not a canal it is a strait like gibraltar, you can't get a passing fee from a natural strait. How could you make such mistake? Other than new canal is totally useless.
The only hole is that the waiting time will be longer and longer and shipping companies would pay to use the canal. Means, you can wait several days in istanbul to pass the bosporus for free or you pay and pass via canal.
@@ac4633 how? Maximum waiting time is 14 hours currently and You can't force anybody to use canal. Each year numbers of passing ship from strait declining, how could you so sure? Have you got a shipping company?
@@Ahmet-yu7jr do you think it is possible to create or build obstacle in the bosforus strait so that large ships can't pass anyway?
@@risingsun8609 The narrowest part of the strait is 680 m , I think it cost too much for that kind of structure just for narrowing and I'm pretty sure there are international law against that. The funny part is the new canal's widest part is 300 m, less than half of the narrowest part of strait. And people claims it is safer passage. An accident could be dissasterious.
Montrö yüzünden ücret alınmıyor. Bu şartla boğazlar Türkiye'nin denetiminde. Yoksa orada boğazlar komisyonu olacaktı. Bayrağı ayrı ve her ülkeden üyenin yönetimde olduğu bir komisyon.
I have only see tens of people in ur report ! Where is the majority of Istanbul residents ?! Did you made an public poll ? Such way you use in your report without evidence regarding salt water 💦 and other concerns confirm that Erdogan was right when he said that Europeans doesn’t like such big project .
Anything that makes west bark is good for Turkey congratulations and goodluck from Qatar

Many Turkish don't like Erdogan.

@Null Pointer where have learn percentage and concept majority/minority. Ankara is just 5million
Turkey is 83million.
Erdogan won every elections since 2002. So majority of turkey support him
This project is mainly a gift to the US and to Erdogan's gang. Turkish people know this very well.
