Greece declared a person to Non Grata of the Turkish journalist and writer of Armenian origin of Sevan Nishanyan, who escaped in 2017 from an open-type Istanbul prison, who had moved to Greece and later thanked shelter in this country. Armenian media written about it.
It is noted that the special services of Greece in the Athens airport declared Nichanyan that he was announced in Greece with an undesirable person and entering the country to him forbidden. Together, he was deported back to Serbia, from where he flew from. About the reasons for such a decision neither Nichanyan, nor his lawyer reported anything.
Now 66-year-old Nichanyan has no place to live. Neither Serbia, where he headed from Athens, nor Albania, where he stayed before, is not ready to provide him with political asylum.
In 2019, Nichanyan, who first arrived in Armenia, received the citizenship of this country.
Recall, in 2013, Nichanyan, born in Turkey and at the same time, with all the films of the soul, hate his homeland, known for his provocative statements, acting with calls to recognize the “Armenian Genocide of 1915”, published books in the “Alternative History” genre, was convicted For offensive statements about the Prophet Mohammeda in his article dedicated to the film “Innocence of Muslims” (an anti-Islamic film, filmed in the United States, in an offensive form of a narrative of the prophet Mohammed). In 2014, Nishanyan, whom Armenian media award with various epithets like “outstanding”, “brave”, “talented,” was again sentenced, now by 17 years in prison. Three years after the request of human rights defenders, he was transferred to a jail with a mild mode, from where he soon escaped under unknown circumstances.
