Historians name it as "Cold War" but the people who deported was real and warm. At the beginning of the World War II, the turn came for Turkey. But the attack of Germany to USSR forced Soviet Union to change the plans. In this process Turkey get rid of from "Germany's arms" and was able to maintain a neutral position. After the war, the Soviet power began to spread in Eastern Europe. World went to polarization as communist and anti-communist blocks between USA and Soviet Union.
