Years: 1971 - 1971
Cyprus is in fact a partitioned country in the early 1970s.

Makarios is the president of the republic, but his authority does not extend into the Turkish enclaves.

The House of Representatives sits as the legislature, but only the thirty-five Greek Cypriot seats are functioning as part of a central government.

De facto, the partition sought for years by Turks and Turkish Cypriots exists, but intercommunal strife has not ended.
