Nonetheless, allow me to point out that the Greek citizens to whom he referred to who speak both Greek and a slav dialect, do not meet the group of criteria for minorities, as accepted by the UN. The same applies for Vlachs, who have been mentioned by Mr. Voskopoulos, and for Greek Romas who consider themselves not as a minority but as a vulnerable group.  Regarding some allegations concerning the extension of compulsory education in Greece from 9 to 10 years and the subsequent exclusion of the Muslim minority, it has to be pointed out that children at kindergartens do not have Greek textbooks, actually they do not have any textbooks, and do not follow any specific curriculum. Activities and games are the only means used in Kindergartens which serve as a smooth introduction to primary education and help to avoid segregation of the Muslim minority from the rest of the Greek society. Moreover, we also encourage kindergarten teachers coming from the Muslim minority to work at kindergartens in areas where there are many Muslims.
