Abstract
At the end of the Cold War, within the international relations among the world’s leading powers underwent sharp and dynamic transformations occurred. Relations between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and the Republic of Turkey remained confined to a narrow and uncertain framework within this global context from the conclusion of World War II until the early 1960s. However, the 60s and 70s of XX century marked a period of notable progress and gradual development in bilateral ties. During the 80s of XX century, opportunities for cooperation between the two countries expanded significantly. This article focuses on the evolution of economic cooperation between the USSR and Turkey during this period, with particular emphasis on the “Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Turkey and the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the Transportation of Natural Gas,” signed on September 18, 1984. The study analyzes the historical significance and economic implications of this agreement as a key milestone in the broader context of Soviet-Turkish relations.
