The
Treaty of ?urawno
(
Turkish
:
?zvanca Antla?ması
;
Polish
:
rozejm w ?urawnie
) was signed on 17 October 1676 in the town of
?urawno
(or
?zvanca
, as it was called during the Ottoman occupation of
Podolia
), in the aftermath of the
Battle of ?urawno
.
[1]
The treaty, signed by the
Polish?Lithuanian Commonwealth
and the
Ottoman Empire
, ended the second phase of the
Polish?Ottoman War (1672?76)
. It revised the 1672
Treaty of Buchach
, and was more favorable to the Commonwealth, which no longer had to pay tribute, and regained about one third of the Ukrainian territories lost in the
Buchach treaty
.
[2]
It also stipulated that the
Lipka Tatars
were to be given a free individual choice of whether they wanted to serve the Ottoman Empire or the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
In order to ratify the treaty, the Commonwealth sent to
Istanbul
Jan Gninski, the
voivode
of
Chelmno Voivodeship
. He stayed there in 1677?1678, but in the meantime, Polish
Sejm
refused to ratify the document. Soon afterwards, the
Great Turkish War
broke out. After the
Treaty of Karlowitz
,
Podolia
returned to Poland.
