History
The London Straits Convention of 13 July 1841, ended the Ottoman Empire's (Turkey's) exclusive use of the Bosporus Straits.
Ever since the Treaty of San Stefano 1878 made the Bosporus Straits accessible the Russian Empire for their Russian Ships to travel from the Russian Naval Base at Crimea to the Mediterranean Sea.
The Soviet Syrian Agreement of 1971 made the Syria Port of Tartus into a Strategic U.S.S.R. (Russian Federation) Naval Base, as required for U.S.S.R. Naval Ships coming thru the Bosporus Straits from U.S.S.R. Crimea Naval Bases to the Mediterranean Sea to refuel.
1990s Syrian President Assad became a U.S. Ally allowing the use of Syrian Airbases and Syrian Ports to attack U.S. Ally Iraq, while U.S. Ally Turkey refused to allow the U.S. to use U.S. Airbases at U.S. Ally Turkey to attack U.S. Ally Iraq, Iraqis President Hussein a U.S. Ally since before the 1980 to 1990 Iran Iraq Wars.

After the Iran Iraq Wars U.S. Ally President Hussein's Iraqis Military forced the Traitor Kurdistanis (Kurds) into U.S. Ally Turkey, Eastern Syria, Northern Iraq.
