Prof. Dr. Hakan Kırımlı September 2002 This doctoral dissertation deals with the official Soviet attitude towards Turkey during the years between 1923-1929. It is the aim of this dissertation to elicit the objectives of the Turkish and Soviet foreign policy towards each other during the period in question, and to ascertain what factors played a role in the determination of those policy objectives. During the period between 1923 - 1929, the contiguity of the Turkish territory to the USSR, as well as internal and external weakness of the Soviets, were factors that determined the Soviet policy objectives towards Turkey. The Soviet government desired Turkey to be the State with a friendly manner towards the USSR. Besides, it wished that Turkey would not take part in aggressions against the USSR, and not allow other powers to use the Turkish territory as a springboard for an attack on the USSR. The Soviet government supposed that a friendly Turkey would be a factor of security for the USSR. The USSR was also of great importance for Turkey. The Turkish government aimed at preserving the Turkish national state within certain national boundaries and intended to consolidate its military victory by economic reconstruction of the country. The Turkish government was in need of time in order to recover the economy of the 5 country and to consolidate the regime. Proceeding from this, it was its foreign policy priority to prevent any aggression against Turkey. As it shared a long sea and land frontier with the USSR, the Turkish government also desired the USSR to be the State with friendly attitude towards Turkey. It believed that the USSR with a friendly attitude towards Turkey would be a favourable factor for the security of its north-eastern and eastern parts of the frontier with the USSR. As a result of the Neutrality, Non-Aggression and Non-Participation Treaty of December 17, 1925 and the Ankara Protocol of December 17, 1929, the USSR and Turkey achieved their policy objectives. They also needed the benevolence of each other direly. They knew that only by behaving so, they could achieve their policy objectives. In this sense, the relations between Turkey and the USSR in the period between 1923-1929 were mutually beneficial relations. 6 ÖZET 1923 İLE 1929 YILLARI ARASINDA SOVYETLER BİRLİĞİ'NİN TÜRKİYE'YE KARŞI TUTUMU ZALYAEV, Ramil Doktora, Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Doç. Dr. Hakan Kırımlı Eylül 2002 Bu doktora tezinde Sovyetler'in 1923 ile 1929 yılları arasında Türkiye'ye karşı tutumu ele alınıyor. Doktora tezinin maksadı Türkiye ile Sovyetler Birliği arasındaki bu yıllardaki karşılıklı politikalarının amaçlarını meydana çıkartılması, bu dış politika amaçlarının belirlenmesinde hangi faktörlerin rol oynadığını anlatılmasıdır. 1923 ile 1929 yılları arasında Türkiye ve Sovyetler Birliğiİnin topraklarının bitişikliği ve Sovyetlerin iç ve dış zayıflığı Sovyetler Birliğinin Türkiye'ye karşı olan siyasetini belirleyen faktörler olmuştur. Sovyet hükümeti Türkiye'nin Sovyetler Birliği'ne karşı dost devlet olmasını arzuluyordu. Bundan başka, Sovyet hükümeti Türkiye'nin Sovyetler Birliği'ne karşı olabilecek saldırılara katılmamasını, diğer güçlere Sovyetlere karşı saldırılarda Türk topraklarını köprübaşı olarak kullanılması için müsaade etmemesini diliyordu. Sovyet hükümeti dostane Türkiye'nin Sovyetlerin güvenliğinin bir faktörü olacağına inanıyordu. 7 Aynı şekilde Türkiye için de Sovyetler Birliği önem taşıyordu. Türk hükümetinin amacı milli Türk Devletinin belirli milli sınırlar içerisinde muhafaza edilmesi, ülke ekonomisini yeniden kurarak askeri zaferi sağlamlaştırılması idi. Ülke ekonomisinin yeniden kurulması, rejimin kuvvetlenmesi için Türk hükümetinin zamana ihtiyacı vardı. Bundan dolayı, Türkiye'nin dış politikası Türkiye'ye karşı olabilecek saldırıları engellenmeyi amaçlıyordu. Sovyetler Birliği'yle çok uzun deniz ve kara sınırını paylaştığı için Türk hükümeti Sovyetler Birliği'nin dostâne bir devlet olmasını diliyordu. Türkiye hükümeti Sovyetlerin dostâne bir ülke olmasının Türkiye'nin kuzey-doğu ve doğu sınırlarının güvenliğinin önemli bir faktörü olacağına inanıyordu. İki devletin 17 Aralık 1925 tarihli Tarafsızlık Anlaşması ile 17 Aralık 1929 tarihli Ankara Protokolü imzalanmasıyle Türkiye ve Sovyetler Birliği yukarıda belirtilen amaçlara ulaşmışlardır. Bu iki devletin birbirinin hayırhahlığına ihtiyacı vardı. Her iki devlet karşılıklı iyilik davranışları göstererek bu münasebeti karşılıklı faydalı yapmıştır. 8 9 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT iii ÖZET v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS vii TABLE OF CONTENTS viii INTRODUCTION 1 CHAPTER ONE - THE BEGINNING OF THE TURKO-SOVIET CONTACTS 7 The relations between the Soviet Government And the Ottoman Empire 7 The Beginning of National Resistance Movement in Anatolia 9 The Leaders of National Resistance Movement and their Startegy as regards to Soviet Republic at the beginning of the Movement 12 The R.S.F.S.R. and the East 17 The Establishment of Contacts between the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and the Soviet Government 26 The Difference of Stands on the issue of the Frontier 35 The Treaty between RSFSR and Turkey of March 16, 1921 43 CHAPTER TWO - TURKO-SOVIET RELATIONS in 1923 62 The Lausanne Conference and the Question of the Straits 62 10 The Difference of Views of the Turkish and Soviet Delegations at the Lausanne Conference 69 The Strained Relations 71 The Intention of Both Governments to Maintain Friendly Relations 82 The Military and Strategic Situation in the Black Sea Basin After the Lausanne Conference.

On March 16, 1921, the delegations of the government of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and the Soviet government signed the Treaty between Russia and Turkey in Moscow. The main substance of this Treaty was the establishment of the frontier line between Turkey and the Soviet Republics of Georgia and Armenia. The Treaty of Kars, which was signed by the new Soviet Republics of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan on the one side, and Turkey on the other, with participation of the government of the RSFSR, confirmed it with some small change. The Soviet government, worn out by the Civil War and the foreign intervention, and its economy destroyed, could give some material help to the Ankara government. It was in its interest to give assistance to the Ankara government, since the latter struggled against the foreign invaders who were equally hostile to the Soviets. As far as the Ankara government was concerned, owing to these treaties, it could untie its hands in eastern Anatolia, and concentrate all its limited power on the Western Front for the last and decisive blow against the enemy. After the remarkable military victory of the Ankara government in western Anatolia in August-September 1922, it was invited to take part in the Lausanne Conference. There, the Ankara government won another important and brilliant 14 diplomatic victory. At the Conference, the Western Powers recognized the independence of Turkey out of the ashes of the Ottoman Empire In 1923 the Turko-Soviet relations entered a new period.

My name is Andre Altherr and I’ll be your Crisis Director for the Cabinet of Armenia: 1920 committee. I’m from New York City and am currently a Second Year at the University of Chicago majoring in History and Political Science. Despite once having a social life, I now spend my free-time on much tamer activities like reading 800-page books on Armenian history, reading 900-page books on Central European history, and relaxing with the best of Stephen King and 20th century sci-fi anthologies. When not reading, I enjoy hiking, watching Frasier, and trying to catch up on much needed sleep. I’ve helped run and participated in numerous Model UN conferences in both college and high school, and I believe that this activity has the potential to hone public speaking, develop your creativity and critical thinking, and ignite interest in new fields. Devin and I care very deeply about making this committee an inclusive space in which all of you feel safe, comfortable, and motivated to challenge yourself to grow as a delegate, statesperson, and human. We trust that you will conduct yourselves with maturity and tact when discussing sensitive subjects.

ARMENIA AND THE ARMENIAN QUESTION SIMON VRATZIAN Translated from the Armenian By JAMES G. MANDALIAN $0¢ HATRENIK PUBLISHING COMPANY BOSTON 1943 No future peace can permanently be maintained unless the downfall of present day dictatorships is followed by the establishment of those factors which make peace enduring, foremost among which is the principle of the rights of national freedom and of self- determination. This is the reason why the Atlantic Charter-the official expression of our war aims-gives first place to the national questions. "They desire to see no territorial changes that do not accord with the freely expressed wishes of the peoples concerned. "They respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live; and they wish to see sovereign rights and self-govern- ment restored to those who have been forcibly de- prived of them." The Armenians are one of those peoples whose fatherland has been forcibly seized; consequently, they are a people who have been forcibly deprived of "sovereign rights and self-government." After the present war of liberation, together with all other countries which have been deprived of their freedom, Armenia, too, expects the restoration of her bounda- vii ries, her lost freedom and her sovereign right to take her place in the family of nations.

Until 3rd of March in 1918, which was the date when Treaty of Brest Litovsk was signed, the region was under the control of Russia. The region was excluded from the Ottoman lands once again after signing Armistice of Mudros which marked the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World War I. From Armistice of Mudros until Treaty of Alexandropol signed on the 2nd and 3rd of December in 1920, which was during National War of Independence, the region was not dominated. With Treaty of Alexandropol and Treaty of Kars, signed on 13th of October in 1921, the region was included in Turkish lands once again. Treaty of Alexandropol was signed following Eastern Operation II that took place in the Eastern Front of National War of Independence. Armenians accepted Misak-ı Milli [National Pact] via Treaty of Alexandropol. However, the treaty was a still-born treaty as Bolsheviks did not recognize this it. Treaty of Kars, signed on 13th of October in 1921, is still effective. Treaty of Kars symbolizes the agreement between Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia on Misak-ı Milli.

  • Hearts, Minds, and Pockets: the Political Economy of Civilian Support for Kurdish Insurgency in Turkey
    Hearts, Minds, and Pockets: The Political Economy of Civilian Support for Kurdish Insurgency in Turkey Tolga Sinmazdemir∗ March 28, 2016 ∗Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science and International Relations, Bogazici University, Istan- bul; Research Officer, Department of Government, University of Essex Abstract Does poverty make ethnic insurgencies more likely? I argue that if (a) civilian support for insurgents plays a decisive role in their success, and if (b) civilians experience a reduction in public goods provision after supporting insurgents, then insurgent attacks are less likely to occur in poorer regions. This is because lower income makes poorer individuals more vul- nerable to losing public goods, and therefore makes them less willing to support insurgents. I test this argument using data on attacks by the Kurdish insurgency between 1988 and 1999 in 20 Turkish provinces that are poorer than the national average, and in which Kurds form a significant share of the population. I find that in provinces with initially high levels of public goods provision, attacks are less likely when per-capita income of the province is a smaller percentage of the national average. Moreover, higher unemployment is associated with fewer attacks. Keywords: income inequality, unemployment, public goods provision, insurgency, ethnic conflict Word Count: 9971 Do economic grievances play a role in insurgency outbreaks? While there is an ongo- ing scholarly debate on this question,1 recent counterinsurgency efforts presume that economic grievances do play a critical role in insurgent violence, and economic development assistance has been used extensively as a tool for combating insurgencies in countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan (Beath et al.

  • 81 the Armenian Volunteer Movement During Wwi As
    Taline Papazian 81 THE ARMENIAN VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT DURING WWI AS GROUNDWORK FOR POLITICAL SOVEREIGNTY: SOME PRELIMINARY INSIGHTS Taline Papazian The current article is part of a new research focusing on the interaction between armed conflicts and political cognitions among Armenians from the end of the 19th century up to the foundation of contemporary Republic of Armenia1. It also holds a comparative dimension with the same research question for the Jewish case, under the same time period. The question will be to ask whether physical mass violence has been conducive to representations of national sovereignty, and if so, what was the content of that concept for political and military leaders during WWI: territorial? demographic? political? military? Being at a very early stage of my research, I will not attempt at bringing an answer to this question here. What I will do instead is lay the hypothesis and give the factual background retrieved from secondary sources necessary to future analysis for the period of WWI. Thus, the following is no attempt at a comprehensive review of the volunteer movement during WWI, but very modestly a summary of the elements that will be used in the later analysis. Temptative design of a number of arguments that will be investigated in the future research will be sketched here. I should also add that, parallel to the volunteer movements of Transcaucasia, I have started studying the same issues regarding the Armenian Legion formed under the auspices of Boghos Nubar Pasha2. These two, mostly parallel –although they sometimes met and joined efforts- episodes are in themselves proof of the plurality of political conceptions and objectives among Armenians at the time of WWI, something we will witness even more glaringly with the “double delegation” at the negotiation tables of the Allies between 1918 and 1921.

Te Emerging Storm The Emerging Storm: Sir Percy Loraine and Anglo-Turkish Rapprochement, 1934-1935 Otto Kienitz In January 1934, a gentleman from northern England traced the historic route of St. Paul the Apostle, only this time in the opposite direction—straight into the blinding rays of the rising sun. The man travelled east aboard the Oriental Express, steaming from Vienna to Istanbul, and then onward across the Anatolian Plateau, which was fecked white by an early winter snow. He was bound for the new Turkish capital of Ankara in central Anatolia. The man arrived at his destination on the morning of January 30, 1934, greeted by a damp chill that settled between the alleyways on the steep slopes of the old town.1 This man was Sir Percy Loraine of Kirkharle, a ffty-four year old British ambassador who had ended his post in Egypt a year be- fore and now was slated to take charge of the British Embassy in Turkey.
