The paper focuses on Budjak’s status after the Treaty of Bucharest, dated
1812. Ottomans abandoned Bessarabia to Russia with this treaty. Then, Russia
seperated Budjak Region from Bessarabia. Before the treaty, both of them had been a
whole with the name of Bessarabia. According to Ottoman archive documents,
Ottoman Empire dealt with the demografic movements and security problems of
Budjak after the treaty. The subject of this study is Ottoman and Russian officials’
diplomatic negotiations on these problems.
