This paper aims to explore the period after the collapse of the Republic of Cyprus partnership. The Turkish Cyp-riot leadership on the island was not fully satisfied with Ankara’s policy towards the island during this period. And Turkey was not fully satisfied with its policy towards the island either. Furthermore, the Greek Cypriot lea-dership on the island was dissatisfied with the constant leadership by Athens. Likewise, Athens was dissatisfied with Makarios, who moved away from Enosis. While the Greek Cypriot leadership were willing to pave the way for Enosis during this period by making the Turkish minority on the island an ineffective minority, depriving it of its constitutional rights, Turkey prepared some strategies to develop the Taksim policy. As a result, Makarios neutralised the influence of the NATO quartet (the United States, Britain, Turkey and Greece) on the island with his Moscow and Non-Aligned card for a while.
