Middle East FEATURE Iraq's students say, 'Welcome back, professor' Greece LEGAL FRAMEWORK E ducation in Greece is centralized and controlled by the state. Higher education is provided by university-level institutions called anotata ekpedeutika idrimata (AEI) and technical-education institutes known as anotera ekpedeutica idrimata (TEI). Greek law permits the establishment of privately owned nursery, primary and secondary schools (all of which are required to follow the national curriculum). However, the Constitution expressly forbids the establishment of private, degree-granting institutions of higher education. Greek higher education has a binary structure composed of the university sector (22 AEIs) and the technological sector (15 TEIs). In 1997-98, 30 optional study programs were introduced to provide greater flexibility for students. These programs offer courses that can be taken individually or in combination, and are designed to better meet the needs of the changing labor market. TEIs are governed by the Laws of 1983 and 1985, which saw the introduction of new courses and the extension of the average length of programs to four years. The AEIs are governed by the Law of 1992 and subsequent amendments.

DEMANDS OF THE GREEK GOVERNMENT British Museum head finally meets Greek Minister of Culture November 13 2002 Greek Minister of Culture Evangelos Venizelos met the Director of the British Museum, Neil MacGregor on 12 November 2002 in London. This is the first time that a director of the British Museum has agreed to meet a member of the Greek government to hear the case for the return of the Parthenon Marbles. Shortly before meeting Mr Venizelos and hearing the Greek case, Mr MacGregor issued a statement declaring that the Marbles would remain in Britain. In his statement MacGregor said that the Parthenon Marbles were among a "select group of key objects which are indispensable to the museum's core function to tell the story of human civilisation, the sculptures cannot be lent to any museum, in Greece or elsewhere". The Greek government has made major concessions in recent years to try and accommodate the concerns of the British Museum and the British government. They have made it clear for over two years now that ownership is not the key issue (see the policy statement from May 2000 below). However, the relocation of the Marbles to Athens is a key issue for the Greek government and this could be achieved without raising the issue of ownership if the Marbles were sent to Athens on a permanent loan from the British Museum. In return, the Greek government has offered to loan the best of Greek antiquity to the British Museum on a rotating loan basis so that the gallery where the Marbles are currently exhibited can still be dedicated to Greek culture. They have also proposed that the British Museum could operate a branch of the museum in Athens, presumably in the new Acropolis Museum (model pictured above), where the Parthenon Marbles would be exhibited once they were returned to Athens.

Links Greece Greece is an important potential transit site for energy exports from the Caspian/Caucasus regions, with limited energy reserves of its own. Note: Information contained in this report is the best available as of August 2005. BACKGROUND In recent years, Greece has enjoyed strong growth and low inflation. In 2005, however, Greece's economy is expected to experience a modest slowdown, with only 3 percent real GDP growth, down from 4.7 percent and 4.2 percent in 2003 and 2004, respectively. In 2004, Greece's unemployment rate was 10.5 percent. One of the smallest economies in the European Union (EU), Greece became the twelfth member of the Eurozone in January 2001. In 2004, it was revealed that Greece's public finances had been greatly misreported as far back as 1997. In fact, had the true extent of its fiscal deficit been known, Greece would not have been allowed to adopt the euro in 2002. With its deficit reaching 6.1 percent of GDP in 2004 and estimated at 4.5 percent for 2005, Greece remains well above the 3 percent limit for Eurozone members. Although much of the deficit can be attributed to one-time spending in preparation for the 2004 Olympics, the fiscal corrections needed are substantial. The New Democracy (ND) party, which replaced the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) government in March 2004, is intent on reform.

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN GREECE Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. Treatment of the Jehovah's Witnesses (1987) Laws restricting freedom of religion were passed in Greece in 1938 and have never been repealed. One requires that anyone wishing to operate a place of worship must first obtain two permits: one from the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs , and the other from the local bishop of the Greek Orthodox Church. In the village of Gazi in Crete, the local Greek Orthodox priest stated during a sermon in 1987 that "Jehovah's Witnesses have a hall right here in our village. I need your support to get rid of them." A few days later, windows were smashed and shots were fired at the local Kingdom Hall by persons unknown. Four Jehovah's Witnesses from the village applied for a Government permit which they felt might give them some protection. The Orthodox priest sent a letter to the security police in Heralklion, in which he requested that the Witness' meetings be banned. These letters started a long judicial process: The four were charged with violating the 1938 law.

Brief Greek History The Greek War of Independence from the Ottoman Empire began in 1821 and concluded with the winning of independence in 1830. With the support of England, France, and Russia, a monarchy was established. A Bavarian prince, Otto, was named king in 1833. He was deposed 30 years later, and the Great Powers chose a prince of the Danish House of Glucksberg as his successor. He became George I, King of the Hellions. The Meagerly Idea (Great Idea), a vision of uniting all Greeks of the declining Ottoman Empire within the newly independent Greek State, exerted strong influence on the early Greek state. At independence, Greece had an area of 47,515 square kilometers (18,346 square mi.), and its northern boundary extended from the Gulf of Voles to the Gulf of Art. The Ionic Islands were added in 1864; Thessaly and part of Epicures in 1881; Macedonian, Crete, Epicures, and the Aegean Islands in 1913; Western Thrice in 1918; and the Dodecanese Islands in 1947. Greece entered World War I in 1917 on the side of the Allies. After the war, Greece took part in the Allied occupation of Turkey, where many Greeks still lived. In 1921, the Greek army attacked from its base in Smyrna (now Izmir), and

The Greeks were defeated by Turkish forces led by Mustafa Kemal (later Ataturk) and were forced to withdraw in the summer of 1922. Smyrna was sacked by the Turks and more than 1.3 million Greek refugees from Turkey poured into Greece creating enormous challenges for the Greek economy and society and effectively ending the Megali Idea.

socialistworld.net home 01 April 2005 Greece Fight back against the new racist law Right-wing government proposes draconian new immigration law Petros Tzomakas, Xekinima, Greece Saturday 2nd of April is the date chosen by several antiracist and immigrant organizations across Europe to hold demonstrations and rallies in different European cities against Fortress Europe. Vicious anti-immigrant law Barely a year after his election, the new Prime Minister of Nea Dimokratia, K. Karamanlis decided to approach the issue of legalisation of immigrants and refugees in Greece in a manner far worse than any previous government. To begin with, the new law disqualifies any immigrant that entered Greece illegally, therefore 500 000 immigrants are not just left out of the legalization process, but they face immediate danger of deportation. Only those that entered the country through passport and immigration control with a visa are allowed to apply for a permit (if they will get it in the end is a whole different ball game). For immigrants that want to obtain a five-year or more residence permit they will be examined by a 5-member committee, which will have to approve the house that they live in, examine them in their knowledge of the Greek language, history and culture. According to the proposed law, immigrants will also be examined for their personality, their moral standing and strong character. How someone can be judged on these aspects and by whom one can only speculate, since what is good and moral for one person may be quite the opposite for another.

The Building The Emblem THE ESTABLISHMENT AND THE FIRST YEARS The Bank of Greece was established in accordance with the Geneva Protocol of 15 September 1927 and began operations on 15 May 1928. The proposal to establish a central bank was put forward by the League of Nations in order to support the Greek government' s efforts at overcoming serious economic and budgetary problems. Until the establishment of the Bank of Greece, central banking functions had been exercised by the major commercial bank, the National Bank of Greece, which had been founded in 1841 and had gradually acquired a monopoly over note issue. In the view of the League of Nations, the National Bank of Greece was involved in conflicts of interest and other incompatibilities in conducting a public policy function like the note issue alongside its commercial banking business. Assets (mainly gold and government debt) and liabilities (the note issue and mainly government deposits) were transferred from the National Bank to the new central bank. The Bank of Greece began operations in May 1928 with a staff of 500 persons. Subsequently the Bank opened a number of branches and agencies serving mainly to supply currency locally as well as to disburse and / or to collect funds for the government accounts. On 4 April 1938 the headquarters of the Bank was moved to its present location.
