Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author examined the secret agreement between IMRO and the Turkish military intelligence in the eve of the First World War. The cooperation began at the beginning of 1914, and gradually gained momentum. It reached its peak at the Valandovo incident that took place on 2–3 April, 1915. Albeit insignificant politically, the collaboration made a contribution to the future military alliance of Bulgaria and Turkey.
