PRESIDENT'S COLUMN
Enough! You are making our country a laughing stock in the European family!
17.06.2024
Dear readers, We have left the European Parliament elections behind us again. In these elections, we showed that we are ‘‘Turks’’ with the votes we casted for our party, and we proved our existence in the region to the government and the entire public with the votes our party received. First, I congratulate the FEP ...
Let’s all go to the polls and cast our vote for FEP!

Dear readers, European Parliament elections will be held across the EU on 6-9 June. In our country Greece, the polls will be held on June 9 for the EP elections. We will also go to the polls and support our FEP Party, which is participating in the EP elections for the third time. Elections are held every 5 years to determine 705 Members...
The difference is goodwill!
17.05.2024
Dear readers, I visited Romania and Bulgaria as the Spokesman of the Working Group of Turkic Minorities/Communities (TAG), which we founded during my tenure as FUEN Vice-President under the umbrella of the Federal Union of European Nationalities (FUEN), of which we are a member. Our aim is to introduce FUEN, the largest organisation that gath...
The attention of international organisations is turning to Greece!
26.04.2024
Dear readers, We took initiatives in Strasbourg in parallel with the plenary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on 15-17 April 2024. The Council of Europe (CoE) was founded by ten European countries after the Second World War with the aim of building peace and democracy in Europe. As of today, the Parliamentary ...
Someone’s true colours have been shown!

Dear readers, We are in the month of Ramadan, the sultan of eleven months, may God grant each of us the opportunity to celebrate Eid. During the holy month of Ramadan, we meet at the iftar programs organised by our associations, and we experience the spirit of Ramadan together. Friends and acquaintances, family, relatives, youn...
Despite those who say there are no Turks in Greece, a visit from Europe to Western Thrace Turks
08.03.2024
Dear readers, We held a fact-finding mission to our region after a long time due to the conditions brought by the pandemic. Associate Professor Martin Klatt from the University of Southern Denmark and the Head of the Department on Danish-German Minorities Issues at the European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI) who works on the issues o...
We continue on our way with the same enthusiasm, determination, and perseverance
26.01.2024
Dear readers, We are about to commemorate 29 January Social Solidarity and National Resistance Day. It is the 36th anniversary of when we took to the streets against those who denied our existence, that is, our Turkishness, when thousands of people in unison cried out ‘‘We are Turks!’’… We were on...
We will not give up!
08.01.2024
Dear readers, They say, “A new year means new hopes.” Are you one of those who look to the new year with hope? Considering the past years, unfortunately it is not possible for me to say some hopeful words for our country. But I am hopeful, very hopeful, about our people, that is, ourselves. That is because; We do...
The only EU country that does not recognise national minorities: Greece
28.11.2023
Dear readers, We are approaching the end of another year. After a period of uncertainty and anxiety due to the pandemic, life has returned to its normal flow. So we went back to our old busy schedule. If I have to allude to our recent activities, I would like to mention that we paid a working visit to Strasbourg in October, parallel to ...
We say ‘‘OXI’’ to discrimination against us!
30.10.2023
Dear readers, We had a very busy month in our country, Greece. On 8 October, people went to the polls for local and regional elections. In places where not enough votes were cast in the first round of the municipal and regional elections, a second round was held on 15 October. These elections, like the general elections, were very...
