Keypoints:

  • Russian disinformation in Türkiye seeks to weaken alliance confidence and cast doubt on treaty‑based guardianship in the Black Sea.

  • European far‑right “gospels of hate” instrumentalize religious symbolism to divert anger away from Russian aggression and against migrants and Muslims, undermining support for multilateral legal orders.

  • Both narrative streams try to replace a law‑based understanding of Black Sea order with civilizational confrontation, eroding the legitimacy of Montreux‑centred stability.

  • Türkiye’s strategic communication should foreground its role as legal custodian of Black Sea stability, showing that de‑escalation through law—not narrative escalation—is the credible guarantor of order.
