Hellenic Church makes the next step for Muslim cemetery

In Greek/Στα Ελληνικα

Honorable Minister,

It is well known that the Church of Greece helps the state by solving a social problem proceeded in bestowing the ecclesiastic land for use of a field of 30,000m2 to be constructed a Muslim cemetery at Scaramangas- Shisto area.

Although five years have passed since this bestowment, there has not been any development to the procedures to construct this, probably due to the problems that are referring to the letters 2225/12-07-2007 & 1283/1-4-2009 of Athens Organization and also at letters 31229/27-7-2007 & 38133/1-11-2007 of the administration of OKK.

For that reason, the Church of Greece decided to bestow another field of 30,000m2 in another location in the same ecclesiastic property in order to make easier the tasks of the related authorities. This field is described to the attached blueprint no AS550B, that has already been given to the Honorable Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Kassimis.

Of course, if the bestowed land for usage is finally accepted and receives all necessary licenses after the necessary declassification, and because it is located inside of a wider church property, all necessary formation and works will be executed under the surveillance and approval of our department.

We anticipate the authorities indicating to us with whom we will sign the relative contract, and we are kindly asking for your concern.

The General Director

Antonis Zambelis
