Negocierile româno-turce pentru semnarea convenţiilor militare – noi abordări generate de proximitatea Mării Negre

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.
