Greece's parliament approves construction of first official mosque in Athens
(MENAFN- Emirates News Agency (WAM)) Greece's parliament on Wednesday approved the construction of first official mosque in Athens, to satisfy a long-standing demand by thousands of Muslim residents.
The project to build the Greek capital's first official Muslim place of worship in decades was supported by 198 deputies from the centre, right and left (out of 300) against the objections of 16 nationalist MPs, according to Al Arabiya News, the English-language service of the Al Arabiya News Channel.
Thousands of Muslims from Arab nations, Africa and the Indian subcontinent live and work in Athens without either official prayer sites or a cemetery, despite years of promises by successive Greek governments.
