Polonya Siyasetinde Ulusal Azınlıklar ve Doğu Komşuları
Abstract
The political changes after the Second World War left
the eastern Polish border, hundreds of thousands of Poles. Addressing the
former Polish lands, and their incorporation into the Soviet Union has created
one of the largest Polish minority in the former USSR. Subsequent political changes
since 1989, the emergence of independent states, Lithuania, Belarus and
Ukraine, the diversified situation of Poles living now in three different
countries. Likewise, political changes in Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine was
accompanied by changes in the position of the Polish minority in these
countries. Lithuania, together with the Polish passed the road to membership in
the European Union and NATO. Despite EU legislation increase national sentiment
caused the deterioration of the position of the Polish minority in Lithuania.
Assumption of power by President Lukashenko has led to a reduction of business
activity of Polish organizations in Belarus. Even in Ukraine, the country with
the relatively best possible relations with the Polish There was a time increase
of nationality, which influenced the position of the Polish minority in this
country. Once again, the position of the Polish minority changed the Polish
accession to the Schengen countries, which resulted in a tightening of visa
policy for the entrance of the Polish citizens of Belarus and Ukraine. The
situation of the Polish minority in Ukraine worsened seizure of the Crimea by
Russia, which triggered a new wave of Ukrainian nationalism. While the
deterioration of the economic situation of Russia resulted in easing relations
with Belarus in Poland. In 2016 Belarus has decided to implement the previously
signed agreement on small border traffic with Polish, which greatly facilitate visits to Polish citizens of this country, including
Poles living in Belarus.
