History[edit]
Cold War history[edit]
Pashaliman was the only Soviet base in the Mediterranean in the 1950s.[2] It was the hot spot of conflict between the Soviets and the Albanians in 1961 when Albania pulled out of the Warsaw Pact and the dispute of the four Whiskey-class submarine ownership which Albania had seized.[3] Following the collapse of the Communist regime, the base was rebuilt by Turkey and under a bilateral agreement the Turkish Navy has the right to use it.[1][4][5]
Civilian facilities[edit]
A civilian naval engineering firm and shipyard also operate out of the military facility, providing a wide range of services.[10]
