A Turkish presidential yacht, formerly known as the Turkish Navy’s auxiliary ship Yakamoz Y68, has been seen for the first time transiting the Bosporus since a refitting, the Cumhuriyet daily reported on Thursday, citing a Turkish geopolitical analyst.
Yörük Işık, an independent geopolitical analyst based in İstanbul, where he runs the Bosphorus Observer blog, tweeted last week that a yacht “with no visible name but with the official seal of the president” transited the Bosporus, sharing photos showing a large group of people on it.
