POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC RELATIONS BETWEEN THE USSR AND THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY IN THE 40S AND 60S OF THE 20TH CENTURY

The Turkish-Soviet friendship, which began with the Turkish War of Independence, continued with the proclamation of the republic and secured by the 1925 Treaty of Friendship, continued in accordance with mutual interests until the mid-1930s. But since the early 1930s, the two countries' priorities have also changed in parallel with changing global conditions. In particular, during the period that began with the signing of the Montreux Straits Convention in 1936 and continued with World War II, relations between the two countries deteriorated and there was a kind of return to traditional Turkish-Russian politics. After the war, with a desire for regime change in the Montreux Straits, with Soviet notes demanding the establishment of bases in the Straits, relations reached an impasse, and until the 1960s, the element that guided Turkey's foreign policy and reflected its domestic policy was "Soviet" fear, in other words, fear of communism. This fear led to the fact that even the word "left" was perceived as a threat, and publications supporting this ideology, especially the press, were banned. In the 1940s and 1950s, the country made many decisions to ban the collection and publication of books, calendars and various types of printed texts in connection with communist propaganda. This study, prepared on the basis of fundamental scientific research and scientific articles, aims to identify the forms of economic relations and their results in parallel with the political relations of Turkey with the USSR in the 1940-1960s.
