		Cyprus was proclaimed an independent country on August 16, 1960, but instead of maturing naturally as a Republic, the island engulfed in a bitter inter-communal struggle that began with the 1963 hostilities and ended with the Turkish invasion of July and August of 1974.
		Since the Turkish occupation of Cyprus, sacred monuments of the rich Cyprus heritage have been destroyed in the occupied areas and people are not allowed to return to their homes and worship their Christian faith in the Churches of their ancestors inherited from generation to generation since early Christianity.
		For Cyprus, the advantage of such a comprehensive definition of the powers and responsibilities of government is that all elements of uncertainty would be eliminated, as each level of government would be in possession of exclusive and sovereign powers that cannot be encroached upon by the other level of government.
