Armstrong, Hamilton Fish (juni 1925). «The Bessarabian Dispute». Foreign Affairs (på engelsk). ISSN0015-7120. Besøkt 6. mars 2020. «The controversy between Russia and Rumania over the ownership of Bessarabia (a border province of rather more than 17,000 square miles lying on the Black Sea to the west of Odessa and bounded by the rivers Pruth and Dniester) has done more than prevent the restoration of friendly relations between the two claimant nations. By refusing to consent to Rumania's annexation of Bessarabia the Bolshevists have been able to strengthen their position as defenders of the national integrity of Russia. Further, as a direct result of her dispute with Russia, Rumania's two partners in the Little Entente--Jugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, both of them Slavic--have been unwilling to commit themselves unreservedly to a defense of Rumanian policy, with a consequent weakening of the friendly ties which those three states had formed in order to present a united front against attempts to restore the Hapsburgs in Hungary.»
