London and Zürich Agreements

The London and Zürich Agreements (Greek: Συμφωνίες Ζυρίχης–Λονδίνου; Turkish: Zürih ve Londra Antlaşmaları) for the constitution of Cyprus started with an agreement on the 19 February 1959 in Lancaster House, London, between Turkey, Greece, the United Kingdom and Cypriot community leaders (Archbishop Makarios III for Greek Cypriots and Dr. Fazıl Küçük for Turkish Cypriots). On that basis, a constitution was drafted and agreed together with two prior Treaties of Alliance and Guarantee in Zürich on 11 February 1959. Cyprus was accordingly proclaimed an independent state on 16 August 1960.
