February 1959 CE

Subsequent talks between the foreign ministers of Greece and Turkey, in Zurich in February 1959, yield a compromise agreement supporting independence.

Thus are laid the foundations of the Republic of Cyprus.

The scene now shifts to London, where the Greek and Turkish representatives are joined by representatives of the Greek Cypriots, the Turkish Cypriots, and the British.

In London Makarios raises certain objections to the agreements, but, failing to get Greek backing, he accepted the position papers.

The Zurich-London agreements, which are ratified by the official participants of the London Conference and will become the basis for the Cyprus constitution of 1960, are the Treaty of Establishment, the Treaty of Guarantee, and the Treaty of Alliance.
