Din istoricul relaţiilor româno-elene. Incidentul de la Pireu (30 mai/12 iunie 1910)
The History of Romanian-Greek Relations. The Piraeus Incident (May 30 / June 12, 1910)

Summary/Abstract: The beginning of the 20th century brought along a new period of tension in the Romanian-Greek relations, caused by the escalation of interethnic conflicts in European Turkey. Romania's involvement in the recognition of the rights of the Aromanians by theOttoman state led to the breakdown of diplomatic relations with Athens between 1905and 1911. In this context, on 30th May/12th June 1910, on board of the Romanian liner"Emperor Traian", which arrived in the port of Piraeus, serious events were taking place, which further strained the relations between Romania and Greece. The acts ofvandalism carried out on the ship and the mistreatment of the crew created the premises for an escalation that could go as far as taking all the measures that the Romanian government considered necessary, in relation to the interests and dignity of the state.
