Abstract

HUMAN AND MINORITY RİGHTS IN GREECE: THE INHANLI LAND DISPUTE FİLE

Abstract

A land dispute case, important both legally and politically,
is currently being heard in Western Thrace, a region in Greece
coniguous to the Turkish frontier.1
This land dispute, which first began in 1953 as a result of
an expropriation move by the Greek Government, has gone
through the legal phases summarized below, and is presently
at the stage of recourse to the Greek Court of Appeals, the appellants being the Western Thrace villagers who have been
declared as "unlawful interferents" by the ruling of a Court of
First Instance in Iskeçe (Xanthy).
