Greek Professor tells Greece to recognize Macedonian Minority
[21.07.08] Greece should recognize the existence of Macedonian minority, compensate the confiscated property to the expelled citizens and accept double formula for the name in the talks with Macedonia.

This was suggested by the professor of international relations at the Panteion University in Athens, Alexis Heraclides.

According to the Greek university professor, it is a fact that the property of Macedonian population in the period 1949-1950 was confiscated, even without Court orders.

Greece allowed a big mistake to be made with the seized property of "SlavoMacedonians" and if this issue is brought before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, it will have to pay damages, professor Heraclides assesses.

According to him, Greece should "stop shoving its head in the sand" and claim that "Macedonians" don't exist, because their number is around 30-40 thousand.

Some of them, according to Heraclides, have Macedonian "ethnic" self-determination, while others have integrated fully into the 'Greek ethnos', because of which "there is no danger for the Greece's territorial integrity".

The professor suggests Greek authorities to have new, realistic position in the negotiations with Macedonia on the name differences.

According to him, the issue should be solved by Greece's acceptance of compound name (such as New Macedonia, Upper Macedonia or North Macedonia), which would be used by Skopje for bilateral communication with Athens only, but not for international use.

He is an asociate not a professor. also a communist.

Has this cock-sucker's citizenship been revoked yet?

LMAO.

But, half of the politician's in the parliament should be sent to Makronissos again.

Gamiwlh, Roufiano, Kolo prodoth!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as far as im concerned there is no "Macedonian" Minority, they must mean the slavic minority in Greece, there is no such thing as an Ethnic Macedonian, The Only Macedonians are the Greeks !

Just a reminder what the former FYRM President Mr Kiro Gligorov said, not some crack head professor.

Quote from FYROM'S President Mr. Kiro Gligorov.
(from the Foreign Information Service Daily Report, Eastern Europe, February 26, 1992, p. 35.)
"We are Slavs who came to this area in the sixth century ... we are not descendants of the ancient Macedonians."

These Skops have taken a Greek name/history, a Bulgarian language & Japanese flag. No brains, no imagination. What a bunch of yifti.

The only thing i have to ask is, why is this still an issue?? I think the only way the FYROM government will feel the pressure to change its stance over the name issue and adopt the Greek position is to devour them. Literally. Greece is a NATO member and we are immune to international pleasure when dealing with a non-NATO country who has virtually no ties with the outside world.

Whatever cannot be achieved by diplomacy it can be achieved by force. After all war is the continuation of politics by using other means,
as one famous Prussian general put it. I happen to like this theory. Greece should not play the pacifist when it comes to this issue.
