were illegally taken from the Turkish Minority by forcing them to sell or donate them to the Greek people or organizations. According to a regulation, which was called Katalipsis, it was announced that the property and the real estate, which would not be registered to the Cadastre Office in ten years ,would be given to the Treasury Office. By using this regulation as a legal pretext, the property and the real estate which belonged to the Turks have been plundered and the problem of foundations has not been solved so far. Today, the real estate tax- rate, which the Turkish foundations in Rhodes and Kos have to pay is 0,6 %. In other words, this rate is egual to the tax rate, which business organizations have to pay. This is another example of how discriminative the Greek authorities are against the Turks, Furthermore, the Greek Governments make the admistration of the Turkish foundations increase their expenditure so that they can force the foundations to sell their properties and real estate. In that way, the Turkish foundations are financially weakened. Unfortunately, the Greek Governments achieve this by promoting some treacherous Turks to the administration of the Turkish foundations. The Policy of Hatred and Oppression Unfortunately ,our Turkish community are vulnerable to a policy of hatred and oppression in Rhodes and Kos. As we know, several Turks were arrested and tortured and one of them was killed during the Cyprus War. Today, it seems that this policy is relatively alleviated. However, the Greek authorities still use the same policy by using the local press in Rhodes and Kos to attack theTurks. For example, the newspapers alleged that the Cultural Association of the Moslims of Rhodes, which was founded in 2000,was the secret agent of the Turkish Government in Ankara. Another example of this policy is that; The Kabapinar Women's Cem House( Holy Place) was pulled down by the Municipality of Kos to build a park instead. Also, the walls of Cezayirli Gazi Hasan Pap Mosque and Lonca Mosque in Kos were painted using spray-paints. On the 23rd of December, 2010 some unidentified people attacked the building of the Cultural Association of the Moslims of Rhodes and they threw some pieces of clothing soaked in oil to the doormat in front of the entrance and started a fire. Some windows of the building were broken by the flames. To sum up, one must admit that the presence of the Turks in Rhodes and Kos traces back to 1483, before Me conquest- of the islands by the Ottoman Turks. Yet, the Turks on the [stands are accepted only as Moslim Greek citizens, which was a term invented by the Greek Governments. Unfortunately, Greece still insists on the assimilation policy and the Turks are increasingly faced with religious, economic,educational problems day by day. In order to solve the problems of theTurks in Rhodes, Kos and the Dodecanese, we demand that Greek authorities respect the basic human rights, which our Turkish fellowmen are entitled to as much as other nations. The Religious Rights The religious rights of the Turks in Rhodes and Kos have been vulnerable to interventions. First, the Italian admistration abolished the Office of Kadi (The Religious Judge) with a regulation and accepted
