===Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca===
Despite his pacific inclinations, the Ottoman Empire was forced to renew [[Russo-Turkish War (1768–74)|the ongoing war]] with [[Russian Empire|Russia]] almost immediately. This led to [[Battle of Kozludzha|complete Ottoman defeat at Kozludzha]] and the humiliating [[Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca]], signed on 21 July 1774. The Ottomans ceded territory to Russia, and also the right to intervene on behalf of the [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox Christian]]s in the Empire.

With the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca, the territory left, as well as Russia's ambassador at the Istanbul level and an authorised representative, this ambassador's participation in other ceremonies at the state ceremonies, the right to pass through the Straits to Russia, as the envoys of the Russian envoy were given immunity.  Marketing opportunities for all kinds of commodities in Istanbul and other ports, as well as the full commercial rights of England and France, were given. It was also in the treaty that the Russian state had a church built in [[Galata]]. Under the circumstances, this church would be open to the public, referred to as the Russo-Greek Church, and forever under the protection of Russian ambassadors in [[Istanbul]].{{sfn|Sakaoğlu|2015|p=350}}
