The president of Cyprus is the head of state and the head of government of the Republic of Cyprus.
The office was created in 1960, after Cyprus gained its independence from the United Kingdom.
Currently, the president of Cyprus is Nicos Anastasiades, since 28 February 2013.
Uniquely among member states of the European Union, in Cyprus the roles of head of state and government are combined, making Cyprus the only EU state with a full presidential system of government.
The 1960 Constitution requires the president to be Greek Cypriot and the vice president to be Turkish Cypriot.https://www.legislationline.org/download/id/7668/file/Cyprus_Law_Elections_President_1959_am2017_en.pdf Since the partition of the island in 1974 the Turkish Cypriots established their own de facto state called Northern Cyprus.
They use a separate semi-presidential system.
It has not been recognised by any other State than Turkey due to the ongoing Cyprus dispute, the TRNC exist de facto as an independent State exercising all branches of State power on its territory.
The president is officially addressed as "His Excellency".
