CYPRUS FOR GREAT BRITAIN
OTTOMAN DEBT QUESTION
VIOLENT PROTEST BY RUSSIA
Received May 21, 8.55 a.m
LAUSANNE, May 20.
The Turks have agreed to recognise the annexation of Cyprus by Great Britain. Turkish citizens will be free to leave for residence in their own country within a year. The article finally confirming the abolition of capitulations was agreed to. The Allies refused to insert an article with any reference to financial capitulation, fearing that the Turks would regard this as an agreement concerning the Ottoman public debt, which question is far from settled. |
The conference received a long telegram from M. Tchitcherin, protesting violently against the exclusion of Vorowsky from the conference, holding that the Powers represented were, responsible for the murder, which, he alleges they did nothing to prevent.
The delegates decided to refer the telegram to their Governments.
