The Peace Treaty of Adrianople (also called the '''Treaty of Edirne''') concluded the Russo-Turkish War, 1828-1829 between Russia and the Ottoman Empire . It was signed on September 14 , 1829 in Adrianople by Russia's Count Aleksey Orlov and by Turkey's Abdul Kadyr-bey . The Ottoman Empire gave Russia access to the mouths of the Danube and the fortresses of Akhaltsikhe and Akhalkalaki in Georgia . The Sultan recognized Russia's possession of Georgia (with Imeretia , Mingrelia , Guria ) and of the Khanates of Erivan and Nakhichevan which had been ceded to the tsar by Persia in the Treaty Of Turkmenchay a year earlier. The treaty opened the Dardanelles to all commercial vessels, thus liberating commerce for cereals, live stocks and wood, although it took the Treaty Of Hünkâr İskelesi ( 1833 ) to settle the Straits Question between the signatories. The Sultan granted autonomy to Serbia , promised autonomy for Greece , and allowed Russia to occupy Moldavia and Wallachia until the Ottoman Empire had paid a large indemnity. REFERENCES |
