Turkish-Romanian relationships in the Atatürk Period (1923-1938)

The Republic of Turkey founded following the fall of the Ottoman Empire has developed so many relationships with the neighboring countries pursuing new foreign policies. One of these countries is Romania with whom the interrelations were discontinued during World War I. During the 1923-1930 period there were no developments but the Turkish-Romanian relationship started over again after the Lausanne Conference. After the Balkan Pact was formed in 1934, a close political cooperation existed between the two friends and allied countries until the beginning of World War II. Turkey and Romania?s neighborhood via Black Sea improved the economic relationships between the two countries. Moreover, the existence of the Turkish minority in Romania constituted a socio-cultural dimension of the Turkish ? Romanian relationships during the Atatürk Period.In the introduction phase of our thesis on ?Turkish ? Romanian Relationships during the Atatürk Period?, Turkish ? Romanian relationships until the foundation of the Republic of Turkey were summarized, in the first chapter, the Turkish ? Romanian political relationships, and in the second chapter the Turkish ? Romanian economic relationship were presented. In the third chapter, the effects of Romanian Turks on the Turkish ? Romanian relationships were considered using Turkish and Romanian archives to shed light on the subject.
