The Conference of Lausanne was a 1922--23 peace conference held in Lausanne, in order to write a new treaty with Turkey, which, under the new government of Kemal Pasha, did not recognise the Treaty of Sèvres. This treaty restored Thrace, the Bosporus, the Dardanelles, and Smyrna to full Turkish sovreignty, and diminished foreign zones of influence and capitulations, without any need for reparations.
The Bosporus, however, remained demilitarized and subject to an international convention. This was to be a major issue that led to the Montreux Convention. Further points of the conference involved an agreement between Turkey and Greece, concerning compulsory exchange of minority ethnic groups.
The LausanneConference, 1949 was convened by the United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine (UNCCP) from 27 April to 12 September, 1949.
During the conference representatives of Israel, the Arab states Egypt, Transjordan, Lebanon and Syria, and Palestinian refugees attempted to resolve (mainly in accordance with Resolution 194) disputes arising from the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
The LausanneConference was convened in 1949 in the aftermath of the 1948 War, with Israel and the Arab states participating.
The Treaty of Lausanne (July 24, 1923) was a peace treaty that settled a part of the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire that reflected the consequences of the Turkish Independence War between Allies of World War I and Turkish national movement, (Grand National Assembly of Turkey).
It delimited the boundaries of Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey, formally ceded all Turkish claims on Cyprus, Iraq and Syria, and (along with the Treaty of Ankara) settled the boundaries of the latter two nations.
The Treaty of Lausanne was cited in the proclamation of the Palestinian State by the PLO in 1988.
