93 Harbi olarak adlandırılan 1877-1878 Osmanlı-Rus Harbi’nde Rusların 10 Aralık 1877’de Plevne’yi ele geçirmesinden sonra 40.000 civarındaki Osmanlı askeri Ruslara esir düşmüştü. Bu esirlerin yaklaşık 30.000’i ağır kış koşulları altında Rusya’ya götürülmüştü. Kalan 10.000 esir ise, savaşa Osmanlı Devleti’ne karşı Ruslarla ittifak ederek giren Romanya’ya bırakılmıştı. Bu çalışmada Plevne’de esir edildikten sonra Bükreş’e sevk edilen askerlerin hazin hikâyesi anlatılmıştır. Esirlerin hangi koşullarda Bükreş’e sevk edildiği ve bu şehirde ne surette yaşamlarını idame ettikleri betimlenmiştir. Siyasî tarihten daha ziyade insan merkezli olacak bu çalışmada esir düşen askerlerin gözünden, savaşın bilançosu ve sebep olduğu acılar tasvir edilmiştir. Bu savaşta Rusya’nın tarafında yer alarak Osmanlıya karşı mücadele eden Romanya, Berlin Antlaşması ile bağımsızlığını kazanmıştı. Ancak Besarabya’yı Rusya’ya kaptırmıştı. Bu sebeple savaştan sonra Ruslara karşı mesafeli duran Romanya hükümeti, elindeki esirleri de vasıta ederek Osmanlı Devleti ile ortak düşmana karşı işbirliği içerisine girme eğilimi içerisine girmişti. Bu süreç boyunca Rumen yetkililer, Türk esirlerine olabildiğince iyi bir şekilde muamele etmiştir. Netice itibariyle Osmanlı Devleti ile Romanya arasında yapılan esir iade mukavelesi imzalanmıştı. Bu mukavele, Romanya Devleti’nin tanınması açısından oldukça önemliydi. İlk diplomatik temasların bu surette kurulmasından sonra Romanya ile Osmanlı Devleti arasında olan ilişkiler hız kazanmış, karşılıklı olarak diplomatik temsilcilikler ihdas edilmiştir. Netice itibariyle iki taraf arasında güvene dayalı bir siyaset başlamıştı. Romanya, özellikle Osmanlı Devleti tarafından tanınmasını önemsemiş, Osmanlı Devleti ise yeni kurulan devletin, Ruslarla arasına bir set çekeceğini düşünmüştü.
In the Ottoman-Russian War of 1877-1878, after the Russians captured Plevne on 10 December 1877, about 40,000 Ottoman soldiers were imprisoned by the Russians. Nearly 30,000 of these prisoners were taken to Russia under heavy winter conditions. The remaining 10,000 prisoners were left to Romania, which entered the war in alliance with the Russians against the Ottoman State. This study tells the story of the treasures of the soldiers who were sent to Bucharest after being imprisoned in Plevne. It is described in what circumstances the prisoners were sent to Bucharest and in what form they executed their lives in this city. More than political history will be human-centric in this study, from the eyes of prisoners, the balance of the war and the suffering caused by it have been depicted. In this war, Romania, which was on the side of Russia and fought against Ottomanism, won its independence by the Treaty of Berlin. But Bessarabia was taken to Russia. Therefore, the Romanian government, which after the war stood far against the Russians, had a tendency to cooperate with the Ottoman State against the common enemy through its prisoners. During this process, the Romanian authorities have treated Turkish prisoners as well as possible. The prison return agreement between the Ottoman State and Romania was signed. This was very important for the recognition of the Romanian state. After the establishment of the first diplomatic talks in this way, the relations between Romania and the Ottoman State have gained rapidity and mutual diplomatic representations have been established. In the end, a trust-based policy between the two sides began. Romania was
In the Ottoman-Russian War in 1877-1878 (Russo-Turkish War, also called 93 Harbi in Turkish), around 40.000 Ottoman soldiers were taken prisoners after the Russians captured Pleven on 10 December 1877. About 30.000 of these prisoners were taken to Russia under severe winter conditions. The remaining 10.000 prisoners were left in Romania, which entered the war in alliance with the Russians against the Ottoman Empire. In this study, the sad story of the soldiers who were taken as prisoners to Bucharest after being captured in Pleven is told. This study depicts the conditions of the prisoners who were sent to Bucharest and how they continued to live on in exile. This study, which is rather human-centered than political history, portrays the consequences of the war and sufferings caused by the war from the eyes of the exiled soldiers. Romania, which takes sides with Russia in the war against the Ottoman Empire, gained its independence with the Berlin Treaty. But Romania lost Bessarabia to Russia. For this reason, the Romanian government, which remained distant to the Russians after the war, began to cooperate with the Ottoman Empire and against the common enemy. During this period, the Romanian authorities treated Turkish prisoners as well as possible. After all, the Ottoman Empire and Romania signed a prisoner exchange agreement. This agreement was vital for the recognition of the Romanian State. After the first diplomatic contacts were settled, the relations between Romania and the Ottoman Empire gained momentum, and diplomatic representatives were established mutually. As a result, this set a political environment that is based on mutual respect and trust between the two sides. Romania gave importance to international recognition, especially by the Ottoman Empire, while the Ottomans thought that the newly established state could build a barrier against the Russians.
