"Third Hellenic Republic"

--- CONTENT ---
Third Greek Republic is called the period of government of the Greek state from Metapolitization (1974) until now and is historically separated from the period of the dictatorship of the Regiments (1967–1974). It is considered the third period of the Hellenic Republic, with the second period concerning the political status of Greece from 1924 to 1935 and as the first period in the years of the Revolution of 1821 until the establishment of the Kingdom of Otto in 1832. The term "Metapolitization" (in the sense of changing state) is also used as an alternative political term for this historical period (especially for its first years).

Also, as the Third Hellenic Republic is considered in the constitutional history of Greece, the democratic Citizenship established in the country after the dictatorship of 1967-1974 chosen by the Greek people, with the Resolution of 8 December 1974 on the form of state and concluded with the passing of the Constitution of 1975.

Although the terms First and Second Greek Republic are not in widespread use, the term 'Third Hellenic Republic' is established.

Transpolarisation

On 15 July 1974 the dictatorial regime led by Brigadier General Ioannidis organized a coup to overthrow the President of the Republic of Cyprus Archbishop Makarios. The coup caused the invasion of Turkish troops in Cyprus. In the face of the military's inability to handle the situation, Constantine Karamanlis was called from Paris and on 24 July he was sworn in as Prime Minister and formed a political government of national unity in order to restore parliamentary institutions.
