living on these Islands have negatively been influenced by the Greek policies. In other words, they are deprived most of their basic human rights to which they are entitled to as much as the other Greek citizens. The problems of the Turks in Rhodes and Kos were discussed in the meetings of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (01C) in 2012 and in the beginning of 2013 and the resolutions were sent to the Parliamentary Assembly of the European Council( PACE).

However, we will also stress other related problems to discuss the issue in detail. These problems can be listed as follows; The problem of citizensh, The right to learn Turkish, The policy of hatred and oppression against Turks, The problem of foundations, The difficulties in protecting the cultural heritage inherited from the Ottoman Turks, The religious problems. The Problem of Citizenship In 1947, following the Second World War, Rhodes ,Kos and the Dodecanese were left to Greece. Since then, a great number of the Turks living on these islands for hundreds of years have been forced to immigrate to Turkey as a result of assimilation policies and they have been deprived of most of their basic human rights. Even, they are not allowed to buy real estate and start their own businesses, The Turks, who had to leave Rhodes and Kos after 1950, were forced to sign a document writing that ---they- would-not return their- homes,, T-he_remaining_Turks in- Rhodes and Kos-couldn't leave the islands for a long period for fear that they would be deprived of the Greek citizenship. These Turkish people had to go to the Foreigners Department of the Greek Consulate to obtain a return visa to Greece. They were allowed to leave the island for only 30 days.Also, the Turks, who were defined as the Citizens of the Dodecanese could leave their islands with a passport valid for five years. If they did not return their islands in five years, they were deprived of the Greek citizenship. Thousands of Turks who demanded to lenghten the validity period of their passports were refused and their passports were taken back and they were informed that they lost their citizenship. Furthermore, the Turks who still had the Greek Citizenship were not given new identity cards by informing them their registration documents were lost when they applied to the Municipality of Rhodes.
