Canal

c4 those bridges

Send remains of our fleet to defend Istanbul

Easy, via Cyprus which has quite a few economic links with Russia. Become cosy enough with the Cypriots, get them to sell a port or two.

JUST COUP MY SHIT UP

Russia has bases in Syria already.

And they have access to the Mediterranean via the Bosphorus. Cutting access to them would be a unilateral act of war by Turkey.

But obviously the best and most permanent solution to OPs hypothetical is to return East Thrace and Constantinople to Greece.

Buy Istanbul I in exchange for rare memes

and what about galipolli?

Y'know I'm actually wondering if that's possible.

Well the Maritsa is the only navigable river in the country besides the Danube, but no thank you, no deal.

By retaking Constantinople

And the turkish army is shit, the coup proved it

Fucking faggot, you think that 3000 soldiers who didn't even shoot on the people can be representative of the army?

Ukrainians are really bro-tier

Return in 1917 when russia was close to rule all balkans and take "istanbul"
Kill all commies
Become new hegemon

Yea, the Turkish army actually sucks.
Pretty amateur-ish.
Egypt actually has a stronger army.
Just waiting for Turkey to get kicked out of NATO.

Build 2 forts near Istanbul and siege it

>3000 soldiers who didn't even shoot on the people

Here is the key

They didn't shoot the civilians, an undisciplined and indecisive army is shit, they should have shot them.
