1...Today’s FYRoMacedonians are a peaceful nation, prepared for cooperation and peaceful coexistence with their neighbours.
2...The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is a multicultural state in which every citizen is free to identify with their own national and cultural traditions and values. In every echelon of government there are, besides ethnic FYRoMacedonians, ethnic Albanians, Vlachs, Serbs, Roma, Turks, Bosniaks and representatives of other nationalities.
3...Unlike the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Greece officially claims that there are no
ethnic minorities on its territory, a claim that is absurd on it face. One wonders if any state in the world exists which, like Greece, denies its citizens the right to ethnically declare themselves as they wish.
4...In today’s Greece there are: Macedonians, Roma (Gypsies), Vlachs, Albanians, Turks and representatives of other nations who are denied the elementary human right to freely identify themselves ethnically and culturally. Anyone doubting this statement should visit Greece and seek out state-sponsored schools in which children study in the Macedonian, Turkish, Vlach or Albanian languages.
5...Additionally, Greece has prevented the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia from naming itself as it wishes, which is itself an unprecedented act of wanton
political terror.
6...Perhaps, the signatories might find it enlightening if they imagined someone denying, or otherwise appropriating their identity and in addition, insisting that they change their personal names.
7...The future between the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Greece lies in the context of good-neighborliness and close, friendly cooperation. If this is to happen, mutual respect is needed. Let’s hope that future generations of Greeks manage to put aside their negative feelings and that our posterity will live in a civilized, peaceful, prosperous and mututally-supportive Balkan sub-region.
Quoting: a 6982620 This is a lie, FYRoM is at odds with all of it neighbours...Greece Bulgaria Serbia and Albania. Turkey is the only country which FYRoM enjoys good relations with. 2...Bulgarians are never mentioned, neither are they listed in any Cenus data but they constitute approximately 300,000 souls in FYRoM. Most of these hidden Bulgarians have already attained their Bulgarian passports in readiness of the opening-up of EU labour markets for Bulgarians. 3...Greek citizens enjoy what other EU citizens enjoy in terms of freedoms. 4...Macedonians are Greeks...see above! 5...FYRoM has no right to claim the Macedonian exclusively for itself. The Macedonian name was never made available for SerboBulgarian speaking SouthSlavic people to use for their new Slavic country, nationality, language or ethnicity. The Macedonian name has been in constant use in the Hellenic world since its inception. The name was spawned from Hellenism not Slavdom, why should the Greeks relinquish one of their regional-tribal names to NoN-Greeks. 6...This one is pure Waffle! 7...Agree...the quickest and most efficient way of making this happen is for FYRoM to do exactly what it said it would do ages ago, and that is compromise in order to find a proper more suitable name for itself, this is the genberal consensus amongst the UN, EU, NATO and the International academic community! The Macedonian name shall stay in the Greek domain from wher it originated. Macedonians have always been Greek speaking Hellenic people...rather futile for FYRoM's ex-Yugoslavs to continue the deception in light of what is known about them!
