Turkey is ready to let US troops through the Bosporus after the incident in the Black Sea with the MQ-9 Reaper drone

Turkey's defense minister intends to allow American ships access through the Bosphorus after the incident with the MQ-9 Reaper drone.

The incident with the crash of an American tactical strike drone in the waters of the Black Sea is a circumstance that allows Turkey to let American warships into the waters of the Black Sea through the Bosphorus. Information on this subject was announced by the head of the Turkish Ministry of Defense Hulusi Akar.

“As you know, such an incident happened yesterday. We received information about the fall of the drone as part of the communication between the aircraft of the Russian Federation and American forces. We are closely monitoring this incident. We have various contacts, they are ongoing. We strive to resolve this issue reasonably and logically, both within the country and through negotiations with our interlocutor, the Americans. We are for a peaceful solution to this issue. We continue to work closely with the President, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense [regarding granting access to the Bosphorus to American warships - ed.]. ed.]. We will announce the decision as soon as possible"Hulusi Akar said.

The appearance of American warships in the waters of the Black Sea can clearly lead to a serious escalation, since the latter will most likely try to prevent Russia from striking Ukraine's critical infrastructure.
