A southern European country bordering Albania, The Republic of Macedonia, Bulgaria and Turkey, Greece includes a continental mainland and over 1400 islands. After a period of civil war and authoritarian military rule, Greece adopted a new democratic constitution in 1974. Major human rights issues in Greece include the treatment of migrants and ethnic minorities in official and public settings - exacerbated and increasingly violent during the increased political tensions caused by the country’s severe economic problems.
