Treaty of Bucharest (1812)

In Armenia a few thousand Russian troops won against 20,000 of Turkish forces, and then Russia had a major naval victory defeating the Ottoman fleet.

In 1811, Grand Vizier Ahmed Pasha gathered 60,000 Turkish soldiers in Ottoman controlled Bulgaria.

Canning recommended to Russia to be more moderate in their demands of European and Asiatic territories, because if the Ottomans were pushed too far, they may turn to France for an ally.

In early May, the Russians modified their end of the demands on the advice of Canning, to make progress on the treaty.

Eventually the treaty was signed by both parties in Manuc’s Inn, Bucharest on 28 May 1812 and ratified on 5 July 1812.

In Transcaucasia, the Ottomans renounced their claims to most of western Georgia by accepting the Russian annexation of the Kingdom of Imereti, in 1810.

[3][4] In return they retained control of Akhalkalaki, Poti, and Anapa previously captured by the Russo-Georgian troops in the course of the war[5] Furthermore a truce was signed (Article 8 of the Treaty) with the rebelling Serbs and autonomy given to Serbia.

On 17 April 2011, Action 2012, a coalition of organizations supporting unification between Moldova and Romania, was founded.
