Why human rights is something that causes controversy???

Thank you for sharing this post. I had no idea that minority rights were so controversial in 21st century Greece.
Why has this incident attracted so little attention in the United States? Turkey has a horrible record on human rights - and people know about their abuses. I had assumed that Greece, as a member of the EU and all, would have to follow more modern democratic norms and respect basic human rights. What's up???
