        I believe they can but are not required to.  Since the Turkish 
force is a besieging force it looks like the Russian force has to attack as 
a relieving force which would mean the force in the city could opt to join 
in the battle.  I think it's one of the few cases when you can get a 
multi-national attacking force without combined movement.
         It might also be the only way to get two nations at war to fight 
together.  As far as I can see, if Russia was at war with Spain, Spain 
could still join in the battle against Turkey and the winner would besiege 
the Spaniards.
