Cyprus Government
As of 1974 there are two separate governments on the Island
of Cyprus. In the South the government is known as the Government
of the Republic of Cyprus. The Government in the North is
known as the Government of the Turkish Republic of Northern
Cyprus. Both governments have similar systems in place for
the three separate powers of the government.
