A direct cite is far more appropriate, since it is Turkey who is now involved, so I provided one in my post. That convention is of a similar vintage to the various lines on the map that left the Middle East in the strange situation that it is in to this day.
That convention, however, doesn't apply all that much to air power and flying beyond how it applies to aircraft embarked on ships that transit the straits.
For PPRuNe purposes, we might be better off addressing the influence on air operations, air travel, and the airspace in the region as matters of interest to the intended audience.
Just a thought.
