Summary/Abstract: We selected Turkey and Russia because they are the strongest local players in the Greater Black Sea Area, they are the successors of powerful empires which controlled the Black Sea pool and because nowadays they defend the regional status quo, that is the legal status of the Turkish Straits guaranteed by the Montreux Convention of 1936. Their interests are sometimes clashing but in many other instances go in the same direction, thus one can identify a Euro-Asian perspective on the Black Sea which is quite different from the Western vision, to which Romania now belongs.
