Mosque restoration bid attacked by Greek group

Greek racists attacked a bidding event to restore the Fethiye Mosque in Athens.

A far-right group in Greece has attacked the Byzantine and post-Byzantine Historical sites office in Athens as bids to restore the Fethiye Mosque were taking place on Thursday.

A group of 15 men harrassed journalists and firm representatives as they entranced the building. The group then rammed a minibus into the entrace of the building, causing people inside to panic.

Turkey has been demanding the reopening of the Ottoman-era Fethiye Mosque in Athens, the only European capital city without one. The restoration of the Fethiye Mosque is expected cost around €1.3 million.

In October, Turkey’s EU minister Egemen Bagis said that Turkey would be encouraged to reopen the Halki Seminary on Istanbul's Heybeliada island if Greece took steps to open a mosque in Athens.

Greece is home to many Muslim communities, both native and migrant, but refuses to grant permission for the construction of new mosques.

The 150,000 strong Turkish Muslim community of the Western Thrace province near the Turkish border have complained that they are being refused to build new mosques as well as rebuild old mosques from the Ottoman era. They are also refused the right to elect their own religious representation to the Greek government.
