Discriminatory practices are being carried out against the Turkish minority, says Mustafa Trampa, a newly elected Muslim cleric (mufti) of the Xanthi region of Western Thrace in Greece
'Discrimination began with efforts to remove our elected clerics from office,' says Mustafa Trampa.
Mustafa Trampa, who was elected as the new cleric on September 9, told Anadolu Agency on Monday that the legal basis of the institution of the mufti is the Athens Treaty of 1913, Law No. 2345 enacted in 1920 and the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, but Greece violated the fundamental rights of the Turkish minority under both these treaties.
Noting that the Greek media took an "immoral and unlawful" attitude towards them with the announcement of the mufti candidacy, Trampa said what was done was open discrimination and an attitude that harmed human dignity.
