About six months prior, the officials signed a memorandum of understanding to move forward with the initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vice Adm. Mihai Panait, the chief of Romania\u2019s Naval Forces, said the task force \u201cnot only enhances our collective operational capabilities but also addresses the conflict in our region, which has imposed the mobilization of the three riparian NATO states to ensure the freedom of navigation, respecting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2022\/03\/01\/how-talk-of-war-tipped-turkeys-stance-on-closing-warship-traffic-through-its-straits\/\" target=\"_blank\">Montreux Convention<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Black Sea is of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2022\/02\/25\/what-makes-the-black-sea-so-strategically-important\/\" target=\"_blank\">strategic importance<\/a> to NATO, of which all three countries are members. The organization last year encouraged allies to uphold the security and stability of the region, including through the use of the 1936 Montreux Convention. Under that agreement, Turkey manages the movement of commercial and military ships in and out of the Bosporus and Dardanelles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rear Admiral Yusuf Aky\u00fcz of the Turkish Naval Forces commands the task force, which is charged with ensuring the safety of maritime traffic against mines and strengthening cooperation and interoperability among participants. This initial activation will last July 1-16, and will reform again Sept. 20-29, then finally Nov. 3-13 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During these scheduled activations, the task group will also participate in the Bulgarian-led exercise Breeze, the Turkish-run drill Nusret and the Romanian-led exercise Poseidon, respectively, to hone their mine countermeasures skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Jan. 2, 2025, Bulgaria will take command of the task force from Turkey. There are currently two activations planned for that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, the Turksih support ship TCG Yzb. G\u00fcng\u00f6r Durmu\u015f will act as the flagship. Other vessels assigned to the task force are the Bulgarian mine-hunter BGS Struma, the Romanian mine-sweeper ROS Slt. Alexandru Axente and the Turkish mine-hunter TCG Ak\u00e7ay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria have activated a naval task force dedicated to countering
