English: Live on Friday, 24th of October, 2014. Garden of the Dolmabahçe Palace. Bosporus - From the garden of the Dolmabahçe Palace. As part of the only passage between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, the Bosporus has always been of great commercial and strategic importance. It is a major sea access route for Russia. Control over it has been an objective of a number of hostilities in modern history, notably the Russo–Turkish War, 1877–1878, as well as of the attack of the Allied Powers on the Dardanelles during the 1915 Battle of Gallipoli in the course of World War I. ©© Derzsi Elekes Andor, Budapest, 2014, Published in the Metapolisz DVD line.
