A scarce bilingual treaty text in French and Ottoman Turkish, of the Treaty of Friendship and Brotherhood between Turkey and the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic on 2 January 1922.

In that period, the Ukrainian SSR could pursue an independent policy in foreign affairs. The beginning of official relations with the Ukrainian SSR was the visit to Turkey of Mikhail Vasilyevich Frunze, one of the Central Committee delegates of the Ukrainian Bolshevik Party and a member of the USSR Central Committee, and a delegation of 40 people, which started on 26 November 1921. The delegation first came to Trabzon by sea and stayed there for a few days and then came to Ankara in December. On December 25, they met with the Turkish Grand National Assembly delegation and the Ukraine-Turkey conference began. The conference, which took place in an atmosphere of friendship, resulted in the signing of the Turkey-Ukraine Treaty of Friendship and Brotherhood between the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and Turkey on January 2, 1922.

The treaty was signed by Minister of Foreign Affairs Yusuf Kemal [Tengirsenk] on behalf of the Ankara Government, and behalf of the Ukrainian SSR by USSR Central Committee member Mihail Frunze, who had previously served as Ukraine's ambassador to Ankara.
