Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Markos Bolaris meets with the President of the Community of Ahmadi Muslims in Greece (Athens, 24 October 2018)

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Markos Bolaris received today the President of the Community of Ahmadi Muslims in Greece, Imam Atta-Ul Naseer.

The latter described to the Deputy Minister the activity of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, which believes in the peaceful coexistence of people and nations, promotes its faith in Muslims who defend peace and lawfulness, in Greece as well as in every country where they reside. The Ahmadiyya community believes in and promotes the slogan “Muslims for Peace” as well as the message “Muslims for Loyalty.” This is why it is preparing the launch of an awareness-raising campaign geared towards both Greek public opinion and immigrants of the Muslim faith. The Deputy Minister welcomed the efforts of Imam Naseer and the Ahmadiyya Community and assured him that he will provide all possible assistance within the framework of his competence with regard to its realisation.

Subsequently, Mr Naseer briefed the Deputy Minister on the prejudices and persecution that Ahmadi Muslims face in certain Muslim countries and gave him a publication by the United Nations which describes the forms of persecution directed against this Community. The Imam invited the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs to meet the head of the international Ahmadiyya community, who is based in London, Caliph Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, on the occasion of the Deputy Minister’s scheduled visit to the United Kingdom.
