TURKISH-YUGOSLAV CENTRAL OPIUM BUREAU (1934–1941)

Summary/Abstract: Turkish-Yugoslav central opium bureau was established on the basis of Turkish-Yugoslav agreement for the export of opium, signed in April 1932. Need for these two states, a major supplier of industrial alkaloids on the world market, to mutually agree to jointly protect their economic interest has been instructed by the provisions of the international opium conventions adopted in the period between two world wars. Turkish-Yugoslav opium central bureau, which is sold Turkish and Yugoslav opium on the pre-agreed ratio, worked from 1 January 1934 to 30 June 1941. During its existence the Bureau has failed to facilitate the sale of opium from these countries to increase and stabilize its price in the European market and to improve the liquidation of opium. At the beginning of his work that was exposed to the boycott by the European drug cartel factory. Although the Bureau encountered and other problems during its existence it has achieved the objectives for which it was founded. Its existence was also evidence of the close mutual relations that existed between the Republic of Turkey and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and the intention to realize a strong co-operation not only politically, but also on an economic level.
