Turks have never forgotten the treaty of Lausanne, which caused the reduction of the modern Turkey state, and forcing it to give up large territories that were belonging to it.
The modern Turkish Republic was founded according to the Treaty of Lausanne 1923 , which concluded with the victorious Allies in the First World War, they are : the United Kingdom (Britain), Ireland, France, Russia, Italy, Britain , noting Britain has developed a number of unfair and painful conditions to the rights of the Ottoman Empire, as the abolition of the caliphate, and the exile of caliph and his family outside of Turkey, and the confiscation of all his assets, and the declaration of a secular state, and to prevent Turkey from oil exploration and to consider the Bosphorus Strait which links between the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea, and then to the Mediterranean as an international corridor that it is not entitled to Turkey to obtain fees from ships passing through it .
And by 2023 the period of treaty ends which has passed a 100 years and here we understand Tayyab Erdogan's comments as Turkey will enter a new Era. And will began oil exploration and drilling a channel linking between the two seas Black and Marmara as a preparation to start collecting fees(taxes) from ships passing by.
