The Rhodope area is a typical example of a single biogeographical area that is divided artificially by the Greek -Bulgarian border.
The Western Rhodope area is endowed with a large variety of landscapes and microclimates and comprises a great number of ecosystems, ranging from lakes, marshes, peat bogs, rivers and riparian vegetation, to high mountain ecosystems that have preserved a high degree of connectivity and naturalness, including parts of virgin and old growth forest.
Most part of the Rhodope is covered by forests that preserve the characteristics of the primeval forest that covered Eurasia after the retreat of the last Ice Age 12.000 years ago.

In 1989, however, two independent coalitions were established, one in Xanthe and one in Rhodope, by extremist elements, who inveigled the Muslim populations into voting for these coalitions instead of for the older political parties.
For example, in the Prefecture of Rhodope in May 1986 there were 79 scientists and university graduates in various professions, not counting schoolteachers, whose number is even larger, and must now, at the rate the Muslims are graduating, have exceeded 100.
This is made easier by the fact that the Muslims are located in a close geographical community, living in adjacent areas, especially in the prefectures of Xanthe and Rhodope.

Our fellow-countrymen Pomaks of Thrace are probably the most characteristic case of a population group in Greece, which has suffered the cruel consequences of the Greek state's indifference and the irresponsible governmental actions during the last decades.
In the last national elections Hamdi Omer was a candidate of the Democratic Regional Union of Michalis Haralambides in the Rhodope prefecture and he accepted with special joy the invitation by Yannis Kourianidis, the Macedonia - Thrace regional chairman of our party.
For so many years the "worried" pomakologists, which tour the Rhodope villages drawing votes or subsidies of EU programs, did nothing to support the Greek Pomaks and prevent their turkification.
