Abstract:

The 921 Moscow Treaty and the 17 December 1925 Pact of Friendship and Neutrality is one of the key kilometers in the Turkish-Soviet relations. Turkey and Soviet Russia, mutual foreign policy II. By the end of the World War, they were based on the 1925 Non-Invasion Pact. But the relations between the two countries began to break in the 1936 Montreux Conference talks, and the Soviet Union, in 1939 with the desire to change the Status of the Gulf, made this break even more evident. This has facilitated the signing of the Treaty of Mutual Aid (Triple Pact) between Turkey, Britain and France. Thro the war, Turkey, which followed its policy of balance, despite the pressure of the Allies and the Soviets, managed to stay outside the war but this situation negatively reflected the relations of the Soviets on the winning side of the war with Turkey. As a result, the Soviets announced on 19 March 1945 that they would not extend the 1925 Pact of Friendship and Neutrality (Invasion) and, contrary to the 1921 Moscow Treaty, they demanded from Turkey the Kars and Ardahan provinces. Turkey, which responded to the Soviet demands with its own efforts, when the possibility of war appeared, approached the West Bloc under the leadership of the United States. In this study, the question of the cancellation of the Non-Invasion Pact signed between Turkey and the Soviets and the question of how the demand of the Soviets in the matters of the Gulf and land abandonment is responded in the American public, will be examined through the US press.
