Hawks of Thrace

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hawks of Thrace (HoT) is a possibly defunct, anti-Turkish, pro-Kurdish independence Greek terrorist organization based in Thrace, Greece.[1]

The HoT attacked the Turkish consulate-general on 8 February 1999 in support of PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan. This was the first and only attack this group has ever made. HoT attacked the Turkish-Greek population in Thrace throughout the 1990s, particularly politicians running for office in the Greek government. Until 1999, the group's activity was limited to rioting and vandalism.[1]
