The main properties of the legislative organ to be formed in “federate states” of Cyprus have been evaluated in this study. Starting from this evaluation, determining the duties and powers of the “Community Assemblies” is also considered in the study. In Cyprus, these Community Assemblies, appointed separately by both communities, are empowered with legislative and decision making powers. Accordingly, Community Assemblies enjoying a kind of “autonomy” from the central government shall enjoy these powers on religious, educational, cultural, sportive and charity issues within the limits described by the Constitution. The study consists of two main sections; in the first section the “properties of these Community Assemblies” to be created within the federative system are examined, in the second and the last section the duties and powers of these Assemblies are discussed.
