Dear readers, Happy 29th January, Social Solidarity and National Resistance Day!

Our Consultative Committee Turkish Minor...
I don’t understand!

What is this stubbornness?

Key word in solving the problems: Trust
04.11.2020
Dear readers, On 30 October 2020, we experienced a great sadness due to the earthquake disaster in the Aegean Sea. The earthquake which struck the coast of the city of Seferihisar in our kin-state Turkey was felt very strongly in the island of Samos in our country Greece and Izmir province in Turkey. 2 people died in our country due ...
We're all in the same boat, without trust and solidarity, we're all going down!
01.10.2020
Dear readers, As you all know, the Inter-Party Parliamentary Committee for the Development was established in July to ensure the development of our Western Thrace, one of the most left-behind regions in Europe.

What are we for our country?

It will be good for all of us to see ‘good’ in life!
06.08.2020
Dear readers, We had a very lively July. We lived through very active days both individually and as a community in July which has witnessed that the effects of the pandemic have increased. As a community, along with other bilateral issues, we have seen that as a result of activities with respect to extraction of natural gas in the Ea...
Let’s live the summer without forgetting that we are in the new normal period!
19.06.2020
Dear readers, We've had extraordinary times since March due to the new coronavirus outbreak. We were locked to the houses, we feared and worried about our own health and those of our loved ones. We couldn't visit them for months for fear that we'd infect our elders, we couldn't kiss their hands and hug them. ...
