%X Legal and political percepts pertaining to ethnic belonging in Greece are closely linked to the ideological understanding of Greekness, a legacy of the Ottoman Greek-Orthodox millet system. Complementary to this image of the national self, minority protection law on Muslims and Jews was and still is partially formed through millet-like paradigms. Greece＊s territorial expansion made all inhabitants of the annexed provinces Greek citizens en masse: in addition to those that were deemed eligible to belong to the Greek nation, Jewish and Muslim communities also acquired Greek citizenship. For these communities the self-autonomy of the Ottoman millet structure in education and religious matters was transformed into minority protection, through special rights (community schools, Moufti＊s jurisdiction, Muslim foundations, military conscription) attributable through religion to citizens of the state. En Grecia, la interpretaci車n ideol車gica del car芍cter griego est芍 estrechamente relacionada con los preceptos legales y pol赤ticos relativos a la pertenencia 谷tnica, legado del sistema millet otomano griego-ortodoxo. Como complemento a esta percepci車n de la identidad nacional, la ley de protecci車n de las minor赤as musulmanas y jud赤as estuvo, y todav赤a est芍 parcialmente formada por paradigmas milletianos. La expansi車n territorial de Grecia convirti車 de forma masiva a los habitantes de las provincias anexadas en ciudadanos griegos: entre los que se consider車 que reun赤an los requisitos necesarios para pertenecer a la naci車n griega, se encontraban las comunidades jud赤as y musulmanas. En ambos casos, la autonom赤a en temas de educaci車n y religi車n que disfrutaban dentro de la estructura milletiana de los otomanos, se transform車 en protecci車n minoritaria, a trav谷s de derechos especiales (escuelas de la comunidad, jurisdicci車n Moufti, fundaciones musulmanas, el reclutamiento militar) atribuibles a los ciudadanos del estado a trav谷s de la religi車n.
