First Athens mosque to open by September: govt
Greece's government announces that the official mosque of Athens, over a decade in the making, will open by September to satisfy a longstanding demand by tens of thousands of Muslims in the capital.
The mosque's imam, Zaki Mohammed, said construction had been completed but staff required for its operation would be hired after national elections on July 7.
Athens is the only European capital without an official mosque.
