Болгаро-турецкие дипломатические отношения 1879–1928 гг.

Abstract

This article aims to explore the development of the diplomatic relations between Bulgaria and Turkey, from the first established diplomatic contacts in 1879, when the first Bulgarian diplomatic representative was appointed in Tzarigrad, until 1928, when the first Bulgarian legation was founded in Ankara. The development of these relations is traced up until 1885, when the bulgarian diplomacy succeeds in achieving one of it‘s most significant victories, international recognition of the unification between Principality of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia. The second stage of the two-sided relations is also examined up until 1908, when the independence of the Bulgarian State was announced. In third place, here are presented the complex diplomatic negotiations for establishing regular diplomatic relations after the end of the First World War, signing of the Ankara treaty by which the two states are to maintain diplomatic relations to this day, as well as the establishment of the Bulgarian legation in the new capital of the Republic of Turkey – Ankara
