PAN-MACEDONIAN ASSOCIATION OF THE MACEDONIAN STRUGGLE

GREECE

The upcoming and much advertised erection of the statue in Skopje’s central square of the FYROM of the so-called Equestrian Warrior, if it is finally the personification of Alexander the Great, it is a confirmation of a shameless theft and forgery of Greek history. It is the blatant anti-European violation of the Interim Accord between the FYROM and Greece (signed in 1995) and the violation of any notion of abiding with International Law and good neighborly relations of a country, candidate for EU and NATO membership. The ‘tolerance” and civilized manner that Greece is displaying with the FYROM stance should not be misconstrued as weakness, because everything has limits. Macedonian History, the glory of Hellenism and the Macedonian name do not change nor do they get lost because the residents of the neighboring FYROM, mostly Slavs, are anxiously looking for national identity. We demand immediate restoration of our national dignity and history.
