As rarely / The Greek Parliament legally recognizes the Bektashi-Alevi faith!
Greek Parliament

The Greek parliament has voted in favor of recognizing the Bektashian-Alevi religious minority as an independent faith and describing members of this faith who live mainly in the area of Western Thrace as a religious community in its own right.

The law on the recognition of this community was passed in the parliament with a majority of votes and comes into force on August 1, 2025.

Along with the official recognition, this community also received legal recognition, while the law on its recognition contains 13 articles which regulate its functioning with full autonomy and independent from the rest of the Greek Muslim community.

The law regulates the property issues of this religious faith, the rights and obligations towards third parties as well as provides for the mode of functioning, the election of imams (called father), but also configures the mode of its functioning in the face of the religious and civil laws of the country.

It also provides for the mode of operation of vakef, management of property and income from gifts of believers, but also regulates the issues of religious studies within it.

The decision was met with celebrations by the Bektashi who live mainly in the Traka area. The presence of this community is also found in the rest of Greece, mainly in Athens.

Finally they will have equal rights within the Greek Muslim community, while they are now given the opportunity to build their own tekkes not only in the area where they reside but also in other areas of Greece.

Also, the law provides for the official recognition of tekkes that until now operated in conditions of illegality as the members of this community were not officially recognized by the Greek authorities, which did not allow them to freely exercise religious rites.

Sources from the Greek Ministry of Education and Religious Beliefs said that the decision is considered historic and brings Greece even higher in the ranking of freedom, religious belief and diversity.

The number of Greek Bektashi is estimated at 4-5000, but Greek officials say it is many times larger, as members of this community were often left on the outskirts of practicing their rites by the rest of the Muslims living in the country.

Thousands of Bektashi from many countries around the world are now expected to be added to this community, including Albanian immigrants living in Greece. The world headquarters of the Bektashi is located in Albania.
