The delegation met with members of the Turkish minority and representatives of civil society in Rhodes and Kos.

The delegation heard many problems of the Turkish minority during their visit. Furthermore the delegation visited cultural and historical Ottoman monuments and buildings in the two islands and found that the Ottoman cultural heritage was destructed.
