  • Freedom of Religion and Other Human Rights for Non-Muslim Minorities in Turkey and for the Muslim Minority in Thrace (Eastern Greece)
    Doc. 11860 21 April 2009 Freedom of religion and other human rights for non-Muslim minorities in Turkey and for the Muslim minority in Thrace (Eastern Greece) Report Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights Rapporteur: Mr Michel HUNAULT, France, European Democrat Group Summary In the opinion of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, Greece and Turkey should have all their citizens belonging to religious minorities treated in accordance with the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights, rather than rely on the “reciprocity” principle stated by the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne to withhold the application of certain rights. The committee acknowledges that the question is “emotionally very highly charged”, but it asserts that the two countries should treat all their citizens without discrimination, regardless of the way in which the neighbouring state may treat its own citizens. The committee considers that the recurrent invoking by Greece and Turkey of the principle of reciprocity as a basis for refusing to implement the rights secured to the minorities concerned by the Treaty of Lausanne is “anachronistic” and could jeopardise each country's national cohesion. However, it welcomes some recent indications that the authorities of the two countries have gained a certain awareness, with a view to finding appropriate responses to the difficulties faced by the members of these minorities, and encourages them to continue their efforts in that direction. The committee therefore urges the two countries to take measures for the members of the religious minorities – particularly as regards education and the right to own property – and to ensure that the members of these minorities are no longer perceived as foreigners in their own country.

Please provide information on what you understand by the terms Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hatred; on the intersection between anti-Muslim hatred, racism and xenophobia and on the historical and modern contexts, including geopolitical, socio-and religious factors, of anti-Muslim hatred. There are numerous definitions of Islamophobia which are influenced by different theoretical approaches. The Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research, which annualy publish European Islamophobia Report, uses the working definition of Islamophobia that theorizes Islamophobia as anti-Muslim racism. The Foundation notes that Islamophobia is about a dominant group of people aiming at seizing, stabilizing and widening their power by means of defining a scapegoat – real or invented – and excluding this scapegoat from the resources/rights/definition of a constructed ‘we’.

Boletín Geológico y Minero, 127 (2/3): 575-592 ISSN: 0366-0176 Structure and history of Hellenides Ion Argyriadis(1) and Silvia Forti(2) (1) Cabinet de Géologie Argyriadis, 975 chemin du Pré de Caune, 83740 La Cadière d’Azur, France [email protected] (2) Via Verseiner 44/B, Meltina, 39010 Italia [email protected] ABSTRACT This study is based on some new field observations made on the group of the Eastern Hellenic regions. Our observations have led us to adopt a simplified view of the paleogeography of the Greek mainland before the Alpine orogenesis. The subsequent varied tectonic units originate mainly from the following paleogeo- graphic areas: • A carbonate Arabo-African shelf margin which displays several lateral transitions, ridges and basins. On the Greek mainland this margin is represented by the Preapulian, Ionian, Gavrovo-Tripolis, Parnassos zones, the Olympus platform and probably the Kavala and Thassos marble. • A transition zone from the shelf units to the Tethys ophiolites (Pindos Zone, Styra, Argolis and Hydra, Eretrias new unit). • Tethys ophiolites, which might represent either an “ocean” fault zone or subduction of the lithosphere along a weak area. • A Hercynian continental mass (Serbomacedonian). This group is currently completed by the presence of a large tectonic mélange connected to the ophiolite overthrust. Key words: Hellenides, structural geology, ophiolites emplacement, actualism Estructura e historia de las Helénides RESUMEN Recientes trabajos de campo nos permiten llegar a una nueva lectura del conjunto de datos así como a la nue- va interpretación que resulta de los mismos Distinguimos por ende, para el conjunto de las Hellenidas, cinco unidades paleo-geográficas mayores, escalonadas entre Paleo África y Europa, quiénes, mediantes fases tectónicas superpuestas - y no paralelas, ni tampoco de igual desplazamiento, conformaron el edifico actual: • Una plataforma carbonatada arabo-africana, incluyendo variaciones laterales y longitudinales.

  • Religious Education in Greece - Orthodox Christianity, Islam and Secularism
    ISSN 2411-9563 (Print) European Journal of Social Sciences September-December 2015 ISSN 2312-8429 (Online) Education and Research Volume 2, Issue 4 Religious Education in Greece - Orthodox Christianity, Islam and Secularism Marios Koukounaras Liagkis Lecturer in Religious Education, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens [email protected] Angeliki Ziaka Assistant Professor in the Study of Religion, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki [email protected] Abstract This study is an attempt to address the issue of religion in the public sphere and secularism. Since the Eastern Orthodox Church has been established by the Greek constitution (1975) as the prevailing religion of Greece, there are elements of legal agreements- which inevitably spawn interactions- between state and Church in different areas. One such area is Religious Education. This article focuses on Religious Education (RE) in Greece which is a compulsory school subject and on two important interventions that highlight the interplay between religion, politics and education: firstly the new Curriculum for RE (2011) and secondly the introduction of an Islamic RE (2014) in a Greek region (Thrace) where Christians and Muslims have lived together for more than four centuries. The researches are based on fieldwork research and they attempt to open the discussion on the role of RE in a secular education system and its potential for coexistence and social cohesion. Key words: religious education, secularism, curriculum, Islam, public sphere Introduction This article is focused

The smoke of the fire of Kineta as seen in the center of Athens at 13:08 Fire weather and vegetation condition • According to weather measurements at the National Observatory of Athens on Mt.

  • Lower Pliocene (Zanclean) Regressive Sequence of Rafina Near Pikermi in Attica, Greece: a Spectacular Locality of Mass-Aggregated Giant Balanid Cirripedes*
    DERMITZAKHS 16/10/2009 10:55 Σελίδα9 9 Lower Pliocene (Zanclean) regressive sequence of Rafina near Pikermi in Attica, Greece: A spectacular locality of mass-aggregated giant balanid cirripedes* Michalis D. Dermitzakis1, Urszula Radwaºska2, Andrzej Radwaºski2 & Hara Drinia1 1Department of Historical Geology & Paleontology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Panepistimiopolis, 157 84 Athens, Greece 2Institute of Geology, University of Warsaw, Al. ·wirki i Wigury 93; PL-02-089 Warszawa, Poland e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Sedimentological and eco-taphonomic attributes of the Lower Pliocene (Zanclean) regressive sequence exposed at Rafina Cliff near Pikermi in Attica, Greece, are analyzed in terms of their bearing on environmental conditions under which the large- to giant-sized balanid cirripedes Concavus (Concavus) concavus (DARWIN, 1854) [non BRONN, 1831] have profusely lived and become buried either scatterly through the sequence, or mass-aggregated in one, spectacularly structured bed of the Fossillagerstätte type. All balanids, regardless of their solitary or clustered lifestyle, are post-mortem transported, abraded and/or bioeroded, and deposited in offshore tempestites during high-stand pulses. The burrows of the callianassid shrimp Upogebia, and of the ghost crab Ocypode, indicate short-termed, extremely shallow sub- to intertidal low-stand pulses. The whole sequence, be- ing the uppermost part of the ‘post-Pikermian’, Lower Pliocene (Zanclean) marine overflood, is composed of three, successively thinning, shallowing-up cyclothems, topped by sub- to intertidal and/or emersive episodes, the last of which is featured by beachrock horizons that terminate the regressive events preceding an encroachment of the potamogenic (fluvial and/or deltaic) regime. Key-words: Regressive cyclothems, Balanid cirripedes, Eco-taphonomy, Burrows, Mass burial, Fossillagerstätte, Pliocene, Greece.
