Vice President of Cyprus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The vice president of Cyprus is the second highest political position in Cyprus, after the president. Under the power-sharing Constitution of Cyprus, the vice presidency is reserved for a Turkish Cypriot, while the presidency conversely is reserved for a Greek Cypriot.[1] However, ever since the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus effectively created a separate Turkish Cypriot state, the position has been vacant, with the president of the Cypriot House of Representatives becoming the second-in-command.
