Amalia wrote that a recent report by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the heroization of Nazism and racism included a separate chapter on Greece. She stated that her post was not addressed to the Left and argued that some leftists supported Vladimir Putin's regime in the hope of reviving the USSR, which she considered unlikely. At the same time, she criticized those who identified as right-wing and, according to her, idealized Russia as a country of traditional values, opposed to irregular migration and globalization, and friendly to Greece due to Orthodoxy. According to the excerpts of the report she provided, the Russian ministry accused Greece of not recognizing a Turkish national minority in Thrace, but only a Muslim one, which included Turks, Pomaks, and Roma, totaling over 120,000 people. The report allegedly also mentioned restrictions on the use of the term "Turkish" by associations, state appointment of muftis, and concerns of the UN Committee on Racial Discrimination regarding the self-determination rights of the community. Regarding Kos and Rhodes, according to Amalia, the report claimed that Muslims were not recognized as a minority and did not have Turkish-speaking schools. Amalia also stated that the report accused Greece of poor reception and detention conditions for refugees, illegal returns of asylum seekers to Turkey, and pushback operations. According to her, it also compared the treatment of refugees from the Middle East and North Africa with the hosting of 23,800 Ukrainians. Finally, she wrote that the report charged Greece with not having ratified the framework convention for national minorities, the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, and the international convention on the rights of migrant workers and their families. #Ελλάδα #Ρωσία #ΥπουργείοΕξωτερικών (translated)
