Summary/Abstract: At the end of World War II, Romanian-Turkish relations seemed to be reverting to their generally good pre-war status, but Romania was encompassed in Moscow’s sphere of interest and so that prospect was delayed by several decades. In such a context, Section Two Intelligence and Counterintelligence of the General Staff was assigned the task of keeping an eye on Turkey, a country receiving American support and therefore considered ideologically hostile. When King Mihai abdicated on December 30, 1947 and Romania was proclaimed a people’s republic, a new chill occurred in the relations between Bucharest and Ankara, especially after 1952, when Turkey and Greece joined NATO.
