The issue of legal pluralism has been analyzed and discussed in legal, political and sociological literature over time. Different models of legal pluralism that are both of supportive and oppositional arguments are asserted in literature. The main goal of this study is to analyze the legal pluralist model of Greece that is based on the Lausanne Treaty and the discussions on it. It is seen that Greece has recognized some parts of Islamic law for Thracian Muslim minority. However, this system is quite debatable in the context of women's rights, status of religious authonomy, minority rights, individual rights, essentialism, multiculturalism and assimilation anxiety. Moreover, legal pluralist model in Greece has been the subject matter of Molla Sali v. Greece case that was decided by the ECtHR. For this reason, Greece has undergone a reform regarding its model for Thracian Muslim minority. The article demonstrates the historical background and current debates about legal pluralist model of Greece regarding Thracian Muslim minority.
