The Educational Rights of the Muslim Minority under Greek Law
Publisher: ECMI Volume: 25 pages, pdf Description: Greece officially recognizes the existence of only one religious minority, the Muslim minority in Western Thrace. The Treaty of Lausanne, which was signed between Greece and Turkey at the end of World War I, provides for the rights of the Greek minority in Istanbul and the Muslim minority in Western Thrace. Administrative interventions on the part of the Greek government against the members of the Muslim minority up until the beginning of the 1990s, however, resulted in the socio-economic and political isolation of the Muslim minority in Western Thrace.
