"Second �Turkish� group is banned
Confirming a previous verdict on the sensitive issue of whether the Muslim minority of northern Greece can be regarded as an ethnic group, the country�s highest civil court has ruled against a Thracian association describing itself as �Turkish.�
Judiciary sources said yesterday that the Supreme Court�s Fourth Section rejected a bid by the �Cultural Association of Turkish Women in the Rhodope Prefecture� against a ruling by a Thrace appeals court that had ordered the group�s dissolution.
It was the second ruling of its kind by the Supreme Court this year, after a decision in January banning a 78-year-old Muslim minority association named the �Turkish Union of Xanthi,� a Thracian town with a strong Muslim community."
