Editing Treaty of Lausanne (section)

[[File:Ada Kaleh.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Ada Kaleh|Adakale Island]] in [[Danube|River Danube]] was forgotten during the peace talks at the [[Congress of Berlin]] in 1878, which allowed it to remain a ''[[de jure]]'' Ottoman territory and the Ottoman Sultan [[Abdul Hamid II|Abdülhamid II]]'s private possession until the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923 (''[[de facto]]'' until [[Kingdom of Romania|Romania]] unilaterally declared its sovereignty on the island in 1919 and further strengthened this claim with the [[Treaty of Trianon]] in 1920.)<ref name=Adakale/> The island was submerged during the construction of the [[Iron Gate I Hydroelectric Power Station|Iron Gates hydroelectric plant]] in 1970, which also removed the possibility of a potential legal claim by the descendants of [[Abdul Hamid II]].]]

The treaty delimited the boundaries of [[Kingdom of Greece (Glücksburg)|Greece]], [[Kingdom of Bulgaria|Bulgaria]], and [[Turkey]]. Specifically, the treaty provisioned that all the islands, islets and other territories in the Aegean Sea (Eastern Mediterranean in the original text) beyond three miles from the Turkish shores were ceded to Greece, with the exception of [[Imbros]], [[Tenedos]] and [[Tavşan Islands, Çanakkale|Rabbit islands]] ([[wikisource:Treaty of Lausanne/Part I|Articles 6 and 12]]). There is a special notation in both articles, that, unless it is explicitly stated otherwise, the Turkish sovereignty extends three miles from Asia Minor shores. The Greek population of Imbros and Tenedos was not included in the [[Population exchange between Greece and Turkey|population exchange]] and would be protected under the stipulations of the protection of the minorities in Turkey ([[wikisource:Treaty of Lausanne/Part I|Article 38]]).

The major issue of the war reparations, demanded from Greece by Turkey, was abandoned after Greece agreed to cede [[Karaağaç, Edirne|Karaağaç]] to Turkey.

Turkey also formally ceded all claims on the [[Dodecanese Islands]] (Article 15); [[Cyprus]] (Article 20);<ref name="Xypolia">{{Cite journal |last=Xypolia |first=Ilia |year=2011 |title=Cypriot Muslims among Ottomans, Turks and British |url=http://www.bujournal.boun.edu.tr/docs/13330942935.pdf |journal=Bogazici Journal |volume=25 |issue=2 |pages=109–120 |doi=10.21773/boun.25.2.6 |access-date=10 November 2012 |doi-access=free |archive-date=2 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180602043648/http://www.bujournal.boun.edu.tr/docs/13330942935.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Kingdom of Egypt|Egypt]] and [[Anglo-Egyptian Sudan|Sudan]] (Article 17); [[Mandate of Syria|Syria]] and [[Kingdom of Iraq (Mandate administration)|Iraq]] (Article 3); and (along with the [[Treaty of Ankara (1921)|Treaty of Ankara]]) settled the boundaries of the latter two nations.<ref name="Treaty" />

The territories to the south of Syria and Iraq on the [[Arabian Peninsula]], which still remained under Turkish control when the [[Armistice of Mudros]] was signed on 30 October 1918, were not explicitly identified in the text of the treaty. However, the definition of Turkey's southern border in Article 3 also meant that Turkey officially ceded them. These territories included the [[Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen]], [[Asir]] and parts of [[Hejaz]] like the city of [[Siege of Medina|Medina]]. They were held by Turkish forces until 23 January 1919.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Arabia (Yemen–Hejaz) Front Side |url=http://www.osmanli700.gen.tr/english/affairs/affairs_a1.html |access-date=6 September 2018 |website=www.osmanli700.gen.tr |archive-date=7 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200807132822/http://www.osmanli700.gen.tr/english/affairs/affairs_a1.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Arabistan Cephesi – Osmanlı Web Sitesi – Forsnet  |url=http://www.osmanli700.gen.tr/olaylar/olaya1.html |access-date=6 September 2018 |website=www.osmanli700.gen.tr |archive-date=6 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180906124940/http://www.osmanli700.gen.tr/olaylar/olaya1.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

By Articles 25 and 26 of the Treaty of Lausanne, Turkey officially ceded [[Ada Kaleh|Adakale Island]] in the [[Danube|Danube River]] to [[Kingdom of Romania|Romania]] by formally recognizing the related provisions in the [[Treaty of Trianon]] of 1920.<ref name="Treaty" /><ref name="Adakale">{{cite web| url = http://alexisphoenix.org/adakaleh.php| title = Adakale Island in River Danube| access-date = 21 September 2010| archive-date = 25 July 2011| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110725000112/http://alexisphoenix.org/adakaleh.php| url-status = live}}</ref> Due to a diplomatic irregularity at the 1878 [[Congress of Berlin]], the island had technically remained part of the Ottoman Empire.

Turkey also renounced its privileges in [[Italian Libya|Libya]] which were defined by Article 10 of the [[Treaty of Ouchy]] in 1912 (per Article 22 of the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923.)<ref name="Treaty" />
