'''Istanbul Canal''' ([[Turkish language|Turkish]]: Kanal İstanbul) is the name of the artificial [[sea-level]] waterway, which is proposed to be built by the [[Republic of Turkey]] on the European side of Turkey, connecting the [[Black Sea]] to the [[Sea of Marmara]]. Canal  Istanbul would dissect the current European side of Istanbul into two and thus create an Island between the continents of Asia and Istanbul (The Island would have a shoreline to the Black Sea, Sea of Marmara, Istanbul Canal and the Bosphorus).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2011/04/27/general-eu-turkey-new-waterway_8436749.html |publisher=Forbes |title=Turkey to build new waterway to bypass Bosporus |date=2011-04-27 }}{{Dead link|date=January 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.g(contracted; show full)[[Category:Proposed canals]]
