Nope. No former minority templates please. This is POV-pushing. If we go by this frivolous logic, then all the cities in the entire English Wikipedia should be flooded by the "former X minority" templates. From New York to Istanbul, and so on. This is unacceptable. Tags: Manual revert Reverted |

History
In 1928, representatives from the Cham communities in Paramythia, Karvounari and Filiates, requested the opening of two Muslim schools which they would fund themselves. The Greek authorities officially rejected the request, fearing that these Muslim schools would serve Albanian state propaganda by promoting an anti-Greek sentiment among the Chams of Greece. Regardless, the Greek government allowed their operation unofficially because it could close them as illegal at any time, and could also claim that their function fulfilled demands for Albanian schools in Chameria.[2]
