EURO-PARLIAMENT REPORT CALLS FOR THE ABOLITION OF THE SPECIAL STATUS OF MOUNT
ATHOS
Brussels, 4 September 2003 (19:14 UTC+2)
The plenary session of the Euro-Parliament passed a proposal-report prepared
by French Euro-deputy Fode Sylla concerning the EU Fundamental Rights situation
for 2002 which includes, among others, a reference to the special status
enjoyed by the monastic community of Mount Athos in northern Greece.
In essence, the Euro-deputies call on the Greek government to proceed with the
lifting of the entry ban to Mount Athos directed on women.
The Sylla report got negative votes from the Euro-deputies of the Greek
governing Socialist Party of PASOK. After the vote, the head of PASOK’s
Euro-deputies Mr. Katiforis submitted a written statement to the
Euro-Parliament Presiding Board justifying their position.
Among others, they mentioned that Mount Athos enjoys a special status, which
was secured with a joint statement included in Greece’s EEC Accession Treaty
It is also mentioned that in the Amsterdam Treaty Final Act annex there is a
statement by Greece, which is a reminder of the Joint Statement on Mount Athos
attached to the Final Act of Greece’s Accession Treaty.

THE GREEK ALTERNATE FOREIGN MINISTER ON THE STATUS OF MOUNT ATHOS
Athens, 4 September 2003 (21:21 UTC+2)
The special status enjoyed by the monastic community of Mount Athos, northern
Greece, is directly linked with a history of over one thousand years in Greece,
with the country’s traditions, values, symbols and religious faith, stated
Greek Alternate Foreign Minister Tasos Yiannitsis.
The statement was made on the occasion of the report on the fundamental rights
situation in the EU that was passed in the European Parliament. The report,
among others, calls on the Greek government to lift the entry ban to Mount
Athos directed on women.
Mr. Yiannitsis also stressed that the status of Mount Athos is special and the
Greek government is firm in defending it.

Athens defends Mt Athos ban
Greece yesterday fended off criticism from the European Parliament regarding
the ban on women entering the northern monastic community of Mount Athos.
This followed the Strasbourg Parliament’s adoption of its annual report on
human rights in the EU, which called on Greece to abolish legislation that
imposes 2 to 12-month jail terms on women caught entering the easternmost leg
of the Halkidiki peninsula, from which all women have been banned for over
1,000 years.
The report also urged Athens to allow the construction of mosques and Muslim
cemeteries, to legalize proselytism and to ease draft terms for conscientious
objectors.
“The Holy Mountain is subject to... a special status regarding which an
insistence on the implementation of very important principles — such as equal
rights of access, unrestricted movement, free trade or competition — would be
in direct confrontation with fundamental, 1,000-year-old traditions, our faith
and the monastic spirit of the Mountain,” Deputy Foreign Minister Tassos
Yiannitsis said.

sulla riport ie da ce religie bre lupuiashea si tat ashiea ?!?
ai auzit da rezervatzii naturale? athos ie un loc sfant unde perciunatzii si
borphetu n'are ce cata. punt.
respectu fatza da religiea altora.
maine poimaine ashtiea o sa ceara si papessa la roma. ce tupeu, monsher !
ce idiotzi !
zau !
Gica
Libertatea sa cucereshte, demokratziea sa introduce.
Da-o in pula matale de baba scirboasa si zurlie bre:-)
Plus inca doua puncte pe care jidanii de serviciu si alti tantalai ca ei fac
ca nu le inteleg....
Punct 1: Muntele Sfint (Athos) e PROPRIETATE PRIVATA, nici un metru patrta
nu apartine statului Grec! Asa ca daca eu nu vreau sa te primesc in casa
mea, nu te primesc! Punct!
Punct 2: Cind Grecia a semnat in 1981 tratatul de aderare la UE (atunci
CEE), a fost facuta referire speciala la statutul Muntelui Sfint si a fost
recunoscut reciproc statutul sau special si ca legile care il privesc vor
ramine in vigoare si vor fi respectate de catre CEE! Acuma cum unii vor sa
se incalce prevederile acelui tratatului? Poate ca la ei in tara in Israel
legile si tratatele nu se respecta si se incalca, dar aici e Europe si chiar
daca unii urla si fac ca nu inteleg, legea e deasupra oricarui.
Asa eu zic sa stea blinzi ca n-o sa reuseasca sa distruga acest stindard al
Ortodocsiei!
MUIE jidanilor si colaboratorilor sai!

Asemenea tactici, asemenea cacati...
Bine ca exista si Evrei ca pilotii aia 27 care au salvat onoarea
Israelului...
Uite, asta e diferenta intre un jidan si un Evreu!
