[01] Respect for human rights boosts Greece's international presence,
says minister on mosque vote
Respect for human rights reinforces Greece's international position
and reach, Deputy Foreign Minister Yiannis Amanatidis said on Thursday,
during a debate on provision to fast-track the construction of a mosque
in Athens, which was approved with a wide majority.
"Its construction will end the weakening of our country's international
image and credibility, both bilaterally and in many international
organizations and forums, in which a regular dialogue is conducted on
issues of religious freedoms," Amanatidis said.
[02] Culture minister to visit 'Elefthernas Museum' in Crete on Monday
Culture Minister Aristidis Baltas will visit the Museum of ancient
Eleutherna in Crete on Monday (August 8), which houses the results
of the excavations carried out by the University of Crete over thirty
years in the ancient city of Eleutherna.
During his visit at noon, Baltas will tour the site which presents
findings from the city and the Orthi Petra cemetery which allow visitors
to understand life throughout the 4,500-year history of Eleftherna.
Earlier (at 11:30), the minister will visit the Arkadi Monastery and
its relics exhibition.
