Насчет Варяга и сопутствующих дел. с Аглицкого сами переведете, не баре.
Columnist Gungor Mengi comments on the permission given to the old aircraft carrier China has purchased from the Ukraine to turn into an entertainment ship. A summary of his column is as follows: "The aircraft carrier China has bought with the purpose of turning it into an entertainment ship is permitted to pass through the Turkish Straits. The length of this ship which may be defined as a wild mine, with no engine, no helm or propeller is 310 meters long. With the tugboats which will tow the boat this length will reach 500 meters in the least. Experts believe that we will cancel the Montreux Agreement protecting our natural, historical and cultural heritage ourselves by permitting the passage of Varyag. Will this not cause a problem for us in the future after having made the whole world accept the principle that no ship exceeding the length of 300 meters can pass through the Turkish Straits? What will be our answer to petroleum companies when they show Varyag as an example when they want their tankers over the limit to pass through the Straits ? The Government should revise its decision concerning this permission which means opening a gap in the Montreux Agreement, our guarantee on the issue. The Government should at least request and get the 'unrestricted guarantee' the US asks from tankers entering her territorial waters.
