Pashaliman Naval Base

The Pashaliman Naval Base is a naval base in Vlorë, Albania.

Pashaliman was the only Soviet base in the Mediterranean in the 1950s, it was the hot spot of conflict between the Russians and the Albanians in 1961 when Albania pulled out of the Warsaw Pact. Most ships currently there are out of operation. Following the collapse of the Communist regime, the base was rebuilt by Turkey, and through a bilateral agreement, the Turkish Navy has the right to use it.
