POLITICAL IMPORTANCE OF KUCHUK –KAINARJI TREATY

Abstract

Kuchuk –Kainarji Treaty was a new step in the history of Russia and Georgia. With this treaty Russia fixed its relationship towards Georgia and gained the right to interfere in its cases. Besides, Russia became Georgia‟s neighbour. With this treaty Russia also confirmed its military-strategic positions in Balkan, Crimea and Caucasus. It is the truth that people living in these countries became free from Turkey's domination but at the same time they were trapped in the grip of much stronger conqueror-. Russia.
