ROMANIAN-TURKISH NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE SIGNING OF MILITARY CONVENTIONS – NEW APPROACHES IN VIEW OF THE PROXIMITY TO THE BLACK SEA –

Summary/Abstract: The military collaboration between Romania and Turkey became imperative, especially after 1933, when the general revisionist trend became apparent. In broad terms, the course of the discussions in that regard was intricate, beginning with talks for a bilateral military arrangement, followed by joint negotiations with other partners in the Balkan Pact, during which bilateral discussions between Romanian and Turkish military planners continued, and concluding with bilateral support commitments after Yugoslavia’s defection and the outbreak of war in September 1939. Both parties had their own objective defence needs, but also shared goals such as discouraging revisionist tendencies in the Balkan region or beyond.
