Denial of ethnic identity?They are not Turks,they are Muslims of different origin.There are Muslim Gypsies,Muslim Pomacs(the vast majority) and only a small portion of Muslims are actuall Turks.But of course,all these are small details to you,since every one who speaks Turkish is Turk,according to your own pethatic logic.
Restrictions on freedom of speech?There are numerous newspapers written in Turkish and children go to specific schools provided by the Hellenic State in order to learn Turkish.Now,whether they go or not,that's a parent's issue.Moreover,Muslims of Thrace worship Allah FREELY in their mosques.Not to mention that the Muslim minority of Thrace has it's own representative in the Hellenic Parliament ,who is also a muslim.There is also a Gypsy representative.Not to mention,that if you go to komotini,in the Turkish neighbourhoud you will find that all the stores,except of Hellenic have also Turkish signs.Not to mention that when i went to the bazaar of Xanthi,i could hear every language you want,including Turkish of course,except of Hellenic.I do not know if this can be characterized as a a restriction on freedom of speech.And a bazaar is a public place......not to mention that Muslim women can freely wear their veil in public .And more.....
forced deprivation of citizenship?.You are living in a wrong era.Hellenic dictatorial goverment fell in 1974.Every one who is born in Hellenic soil, automatically becomes a Hellen citizen.The citizenship cannot be "deprived" so easily in a democratic State like Hellas.In Turkey maybe yes,but Hellas has democratic laws and a democratic constitution which protect the citizen .Not mention that many Muslim Hellens of Western Thrace go to Hellenic universities in Thessaloniki.
Not to mention the characteristic phrase of the Turkish prime minister in his last visit in Western Thrace "You are Hellen citizens".
