%0 Journal Article %T AN ASSESSMENT ON TURCO-RUSSIAN POLITICAL RELATIONS BETWEEN 1919 - 1923 %A Mustafa O£¿uzhan DO£¿AR %J - %D 2018 %X The object of this work is to analyze Turkish-Russian rapprochement, united against imperialism between 1919 and 1923. This phase, built on consensual understanding and rapprochement, was based upon mutual interests. While Bolsheviks hoped for a new socialist current in Turkey, Mustafa Kemal approached them, in a cautious, distant and pragmatic way. Thus, the relations developed on a realistic and benefit-oriented basis. It is also worth noting that the rapprochement between anti-imperialist Turkey and Russia cannot be studied independently of Europe¡¯s status quo in the aftermath of WWI %K Milli m¨¹cadele %K Bol£¿evikler %K T¨¹rk-Rus ili£¿kileri %K D£¿£¿ politika %U http://dergipark.org.tr/gusbd/issue/39724/470484
