PARTICIPATION FORM

With the cooperation of Department of Atatürk Research Center and Ovidius University of Constanta, Faculty of History and Political Science an international symposium titled “Turkey-Romania Relations: Past and Present” is going to be held on 4-6 October, 2017 in Constanta.

Romania and Turkey, both situated in the turmoiled area of Eastern Europe and Balkans, shared together a deep long common history.

Wallachia and Moldavia, strongly connected with the Ottoman Empire for centuries were affected by the revolutions emerging in Europe in the middle of the XIX^th century and ideas of autonomy/independency began spreading. Following Crimean War and Paris Peace Conference of 1856, Wallachia and Moldavia acquired autonomy and came under the assurance of the European states. In this process, each of the European states took different attitudes towards the region.

In this context, on January 5, 1859 Moldavia Parliament and on January 24, 1859 Wallachia Parliament chose Alexandre Ion Cuza as the Prince to the throne unanimously. Therefore, a de facto unification came true. Although Ottoman State objected to the unification at first, it acknowledged on December 2, 1861 that Wallachia and Moldavia had a central administration. Thus, as well as being an associated state to the Ottoman State, the Romanian state de facto emerged from Wallachia and Moldavia.

Subsequently, with the Treaty of Berlin in 1878 Romania gained its full independence and became a Kingdom in 1881.

As it is briefly expressed above, Romania has a deep historical, cultural, political and economic relations with Turkey. Both countries got involved in the adventure of Western modernization and at this point Romania went through similar processes to Ottoman State and Republic of Turkey.

Their improving relations at the beginning of the 20^th century, increasing cultural, economic and political connections show a tendency of good neighboring. Our aim is to enhance the academic studies about this issue.

In this respect, the symposium will enable researches conducting studies about the mutual historical, political, economic, social and cultural relations of the two countries to present, disseminate and introduce their researches at the international level.
