A statement by Mr. Vladimir Putin, President of Government of demographically and geographically largest Slavic state in the world, which is also a cultural, scientific and scholarly superpower, in addition having authority derived from World’s most second powerful armed forces.

“In his time to solve these economic problems, Alexander of Macedonia came and conquered Persia. Now Greece is not to conquer anybody, but beyond that it is deprived from the inability to devalue its national currency, because it doesn’t has its own national currency, it is denied possibility to issue money, because it doesn’t have its own money-issuing center”

Excerpt from a debate at a recent economic forum. The obvious synergy of otherwise blunt statement that “Alexander conquered Persia” followed by a sentence: “Now Greece is not to conquer anybody” is that Alexander’s conquest was by Greeks, i.e. an endogenous conquest towards Persia of, simply stated, Greek design and character, led by Alexander.
