ECER stand in solidarity to Romuva ethnic religion
The statement of Andras Corban-Arthen
President, of European Congress of Ethnic Religions
As president of the European Congress of Ethnic Religions (ECER), I would like to condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the unwillingness of the Lithuanian Parliament (Seimas) to recognize Romuva as an official religion in Lithuania. Romuva has fulfilled all the requirements to qualify for such a designation — it is a rapidly growing religion, whose members have creditably represented their homeland all over the world. Moreover, Romuva stands as one of the few remaining examples of the survival of European indigenous religions and cultures.

REGARDING THE BURIAL AT MOUNT LYKAION
Press Release 318/11.08.”2016″
A human sacrifice at Lykaion? We don’t know where did the baseness concerning the situation came from. It could either be from the vagueness and the misexpression of Ms Anna Karapanagos’ (chief of the General Directorate of Antiquities) statements, or from the journalistic “misconceptions” of her statements. It could also be the ever crazy implications of the radial orthodox provocateurs who falsely call themselves journalists. Continue reading REGARDING THE BURIAL AT MOUNT LYKAION
Open letter to Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Ioannis Amanatides
Open Letter 314/8.6. 2016
To Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Ioannis Amanatides.
Mr. Minister.
The zealous involvement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs into a matter regarding a monument (Hagia Sophia), which belongs to another country (Turkey) astonished every clearly thinking Greek citizen. We Ethnic Hellenes are even more astonished from your statement that the reading of a monotheistic religious text in a space that up until 1934 functioned as a monotheistic temple, and only afterwards designated as a cultural monument, is not in accordance with European norms and rules of respect and tolerance for diversity and religious freedom. The same is true of your statement that you will take the case to international organizations . Continue reading Open letter to Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Ioannis Amanatides

http://ysee.gr/index.php?type=deltia_typou&f=300
Δεν χρειάζεται να είναι κάποιος πολύ καλλιεργημένος, αρκεί και ο απλός φυσιολογικός άνθρωπος, για να πενθήσει αυτές τις ημέρες για την αιχμαλωσία μίας ακόμη αρχαίας πόλης του λαμπρού πολιτισμού των Εθνικών, από τις ορδές του σκότους και του φανατισμού, που εν έτει 2015 της χρονολογίας των χριστιανών κόβουν λαιμούς ανθρώπων και καταστρέφουν αρχαία μνημεία, μουσεία και βιβλιοθήκες, σβήνοντας σπάνια απομεινάρια του εδώ και δύο χιλιετίες καταδιωκόμενου πολιτισμού των καθυβριζόμενων ως «παγανιστών».

http://www.ysee.gr/index.php?type=deltia_typou&f=299
It seems that attacks against defenseless religious shrines, is not the sole prerogative of the primitive Islamist extremists who in fervent zeal destroy various pagan antiquities in North Africa and the Middle East. It unfortunately is also a choice of expression for Christian fanatics who though they live in 21st Century Europe, show a willingness to return to an age when hammers and pikes were used to level the temples, statues and altars of the pre Christian cultures of Europe.
