The Uneasy Relationship: Turkey's Foreign Policy towards the Soviet Union at the Outbreak of the Second World War

Abstract

Aftcr the Lausanne Peace Treaty of 24 July 1923, Turkey
followed a policy aiming consciously at peace and co-operation
with ali nations. The whole purpose of the country presupposed a
long period of tranquillity, without which its far-reaching plans for
development and reform would have been meaningless. It was
natural that at this period Republican Turkey and Soviet Russia
should be attractcd towards each other. Each was striving for
freedom from foreign shackles, and each was faced with
formidable programmes of internal transformation. It was one of
the majör tenets of Soviet foreign policy at the time to cultivate
Turkey's good will and understanding, in order to show the
exploited nations of Asia that Moscow was their only and true
friend. Furthcrmore, Turkish friendship carricd with it promise of
an advantageous accommodation in the Straits, in case of war with
the Wcst a consideration which no Russian governmcnt could
disregard.
