Research conducted by the Greek company “Kapa Research” has yielded significant results regarding the Greek Diaspora communities all over the world. The results were presented to Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis who delivered a speech praising the role of the Greek Diaspora and expressing the hope that Parliament will ratify the Diaspora Vote, which she described as a link with the motherland.
The research began in 2007 and was conducted by Kapa Research in collaboration with the Center for Hellenic Studies at Harvard University. Respondents were drawn from 10,846 Diaspora Greeks, 1,270 Cypriot Greeks and 3,506 Greeks in Greece who responded to a broad range of questions. The results show not only their commitment and faith in Greece, Greek language, Greek culture and Greek traditions but also their problems with the Greek state and primarily with bureaucracy. Also interesting is the fact that 85 per cent of Greeks abroad stay in touch with news and developments in Greece via the Internet.
