Akkerman Convention
The
Akkerman Convention
was a treaty signed on October 7, 1826 between the
Russian
and the
Ottoman Empires
in the
Budjak
citadel of
Akkerman
(present-day
Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi
,
Ukraine
). It imposed that the
hospodars
of
Moldavia
and
Wallachia
be elected by their respective Divans for seven-year terms, with the approval of both Powers. It also provided for the retreat of
Ottoman forces
from both
Danubian Principalities
after their prolonged stay following military actions in 1821 (that were carried in response to the
Filiki Etaireía
in the
Greek War of Independence
), and
Tudor Vladimirescu
's
uprising
. The Ottomans also agreed to cede to Wallachia the control over the
Danube
ports of
Giurgiu
,
Braila
and
Turnu
. The convention also tackled the
Serbian question
: in article 5, autonomy for the
Principality of Serbia
was given, and the return of lands removed in 1813. Serbs were also granted freedom of movement through the Ottoman Empire.
Sultan
Mahmud II
's repudiation of the convention triggered the
Russo-Turkish War (1828–1829)
.
