In September 2007 the New Democracy Party won a slim majority of seats in the unicameral Vouli (parliament) in free and fair elections, and Konstantinos Karamanlis remained the prime minister. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces. The government generally respected the human rights of its citizens; however, there were problems in several areas. Human rights abuses reported during the year included: reports of abuse by security forces, particularly of undocumented immigrants and Roma; overcrowding and harsh conditions in some prisons; detention of undocumented migrants in squalid conditions; some legal restrictions on freedom of speech (although not enforced in practice); restrictions and administrative obstacles faced by members of non-Orthodox religions, including serious delays in receiving permits; detention and deportation of unaccompanied or separated immigrant minors, including asylum seekers; failure to provide adequate protection to victims of domestic violence; discrimination against Romani children in education; exploitation of Romani children through begging and forced labor; trafficking in persons; limits on the ability of ethnic minority groups to self-identify; and discrimination against and social exclusion of ethnic minorities, particularly Roma. A large number of Roma lacked access to adequate housing, basic medical care, public services, and employment opportunities.

Küresel bütünleşme, ülkeler arasında siyasi, sosyal, ekonomik ilişkilerin yaygınlaşması, farklı kültür ve inançların entegre olmuş şekilde birlikte yaşamaları, maddi ve manevi değerlerin ulusal sınırları aşarak dünyaya yayılması demektir. Bu bağlamda böyle bir bütünleşmeye verilecek en güzel örnek; Avrupa Birliği’dir (AB). Kalkınma süreci yaşayan ülkelerde ekonomik gelişme, ülkenin tüm bölgelerinde aynı anda başlayamayabilir ve sonucunda ortaya çıkan gelişme belirli noktalarda yoğunlaşır. Neticesinde bölgesel farklılaşmalar meydana gelir. AB, kendi içinde yaşadığı bölgesel farklılıkları ortadan kaldırmak için AB Bölgesel Politikası’nı oluşturmuştur. Bu politika kapsamında geliştirilen Yapısal Fonlar aracılığıyla, ihtiyaç duyulan bölgelere çeşitli yardımlar yapılmakta, bu yardımlardan bazıları hibe programları ile gerçekleştirmektedir. Türkiye tam üye olmadığı için Yapısal Fonlar’dan şimdilik yararlanamamaktadır. Katılım Öncesi Mali Yardım Programı kapsamında geliştirilen hibe programlarını ise uygulayabilmektedir.

ISSN 1020-7473 Introduction The challenges facing refugees in Greece are widely known. Since 2007, a stream of reports has documented serious deficiencies during every stage of the refugee experience, from arrival at the border through implementation of a final asylum decision. The humanitarian situation has improved somewhat in 2011, but at the same time the challenge facing Greece has grown. The European Union’s administrative and physical external border control regimes have become more stringent, rendering many former routes into the EU inaccessible. 2010 saw a massive shift of migration flows to the Evros region, the land border between Greece and Turkey. 1 More than 80% of all irregular entries into the EU now cross this border.
