Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ile Bulgar Emareti Arasında 1904 Yılında İmzalanan Anlaşma Hakkında Diplomasi Kaynaklarında ve Gazetelerdeki Yorumlar

19. yüzyılın sonları ve 20. yüzyılın başlarındaki Bulgar-Osmanlı ilişkileri, Avrupa Osmanlı mirasının Balkanlar’ın modern devlet ve siyasi sistemine dönüşüm sürecinde önemli rol oynamaktadır. İki ülke arasında yapılan, 1904 tarihli Anlaşma, bu ilişkilerin tarihçesinin önemli bir sayfasını teşkil etmektedir. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ile Bulgar Prensliği arasında akdedilen anlaşma, Makedonya Sorunu’nun gelişimi için kritik bir anda, bir sürü soruna çözüm olmuştur. Bu anlaşma, resmi diplomasi tarafından hoş karşılanmış ve Güneydoğu Avrupa’da barışın güçlendirilmesine yönelik bir adım olarak yorumlanmıştır. Siyasi, diplomatik yorumların ve gazeteci yorumlarının büyük bir bölümünde bu anlaşmanın Bulgar Devleti açısından doğurduğu sonuçlar vurgulanmaktadır. Anlaşma aracılığı ile Bulgaristan, Avrupa’nın fikir çevreleri için Mürzsteg reformlarının gerçekleştirilmesi açısından garantör devlete dönüşmüştür. Bu durum ülkeyi, Makedonya sorunu açısından devletin komşuları Yunanistan ile Sırbistan’a göre daha saygın bir seviyeye çıkartmaktadır. Bulgar Prensliği, kendini Avrupa’nın siyasi ve diplomatik çevrelerinin ilgisinin merkezinde bulmuş ve Avrupa başkentlerinde kamuoyunun ilgisini o denli çekmiştir ki Prensliğin, Makedonya sorununun gelişimindeki ve Balkanlar’da barışın korunmasındaki rolü daha sonra kilit rol olarak nitelendirilecektir.

Diplomatic and Journalistic Comments on the Agreement between the Ottoman Empire and the Principality of Bulgaria in 1904

Bulgarian-Ottoman relations from the end of the XIX-th and the beginning of the XX-th century played an important part in the process of transformation of the European Ottoman heritage into the modern state and political system of the Balkans. The Agreement between the two states from 1904 is a significant page in the history of those relations. The agreement entered into between the Ottoman Empire and the Principality of Bulgaria solved a number of problems at a moment crucial for the development of the Macedonian Question. The agreement was welcomed by the official diplomacy and was interpreted as a step forward to affirming the peace in the European Southeast. In the predominant part of political, diplomatic and journalists’ comments, the emphasis is on the outcomes of the agreement for the Bulgarian state. As far as European opinion-making circles were concerned, through that agreement Bulgaria turned into a guarantor - state for conducting the Murzsteg Reforms. That led the country to a higher-reputation level compared to its neighbour-states Greece and Serbia in terms of the Macedonian Question. The Principality of Bulgaria turned out to be in the centre of the interests of the European political and diplomatic circlesand attracted the attention of public opinion in the European capitals so much thatits role in the development of the Macedonian Question and for protection of thepeace on the Balkans will be later on determined as crucial.
