Although between 1917- 1923 especially after the emergence of Kamali movement، the relationships were good. The Russians support the kamali movement until turkey become an independent country، a new republic has been established via international confession in 1923. An important agreement has been signed in 1925 between both countries، this agreement has received a lot of reaction around the world but this does not mean that Turkey and Soviet are close friends without problems and trust each other.  Especially Turkey always tried to be strong and appear like one of the western countries.
