Erdogan riles critics and Russia with crazy new canal
30.04.2021
Not content with shaping Turkey s history, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is about to change its geography, too, by building an alternative to the Bosphorus, raising hackles at home and alarm in Russia.
Critics accuse Erdogan of pursuing a vanity project that will open up Istanbul to unbridled construction and put the government into deep and largely unnecessary debt.
Environmentalists hate it, as does the Kremlin, which fears that Erdogan s Canal Istanbul will give NATO member Turkey broader control over passage between the Black and Mediterranean seas.
A group of Turkish retired admirals even risked Erdogan s wrath by warning that he must place his new canal under the terms of an old treaty regulating the use of strategic straits.

Berke Guney Boz is in his last year of high school at a private school in Eskisehir in northwest Turkey. Although he still has many years of education in Turkey ahead of him, he has already made plans for his post-university life. “I want to study computer engineering at a top university, then use the opportunity to study abroad for a few more years, before getting a job in a foreign country,” Boz said.
“I don’t see any situation where I would want to stay [in Turkey],” he added.
Boz feels left behind by his country’s economic and educational policies, and he isn’t alone - thousands of young people in Turkey want to leave the country, where the economic situation has gone from bad to worse over the past year.
