By Samios Makedonas

The following collection of Macedonian Newspapers is what Skopjans hate most since it completely shatters their illusions that “Macedonia was a term forbidden in Greece” prior to 1988. Contrarily Macedonian Newspapers were in use  from 19th cent. even prior to the invention of the Skopjan fictitious “nationality”.

Newspapers like:

- Echo tis Makedonias

- Dytiki Makedonia

- Makedonikos Epinohr

- H Pammakedoniki

- Makedoniki Enosis

- Makedoniki echo

- H Makedoniki

- Makedonikos Astir

- Makedoniki foni

- Elliniki Makedonia

- Makedonika Xronika

- Makedonia

- Makedonikos

- MAkedonika Salpismata

- Makedonia

- Makedonomachos

- Makedonikos Typos

- Makedoniki Echo

- Makedoniki

- Chronika Dytikis Makedonias

- Makedonikon Vima

- Makedonis Gh

- Makedoniki Floga

- Makedonika Themata

- Makedonika Spor

- Makedonika Nea tis Thessalonikis

- Makedoniki Neolaia

- Makedonikes selides

- Makedonopoulo

- Makedonika grammata

- Makedonika

- Makedonikon hmerologion

- La Macedoine

are the best evidence against FYROM’s misinformation and Lies.

Congrats to Samios Makedonas for his collection!!

We have already mentioned intensively the issue of the Greek abducted children in many previous articles [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Today we will provide a wide collection of contemporary Greek newspaper articles related to the abduction of Greek children from Communist guerillas.

Many Thanks to our good friend Peter from Australia for his contribution.

FACTS:
F.Y.R.O.M.-Slavs claim that the use of the term “MAKEDONIA” in Greece was forbidden until 1988 and that no province with the name “MAKEDONIA” (Macedonia) existed in Northern-Greece before 1988.

There are many examples for state institutions or privat corporations which use the term “MAKEDONIA” in Greece since the end of 19th century and still use it:

Newspaper “Makedonia” - paper of 4th April of 1878

Faros Of Macedonia - paper of 29th November 1887.

Ermis of Thessaloniki - paper of 24th Octomber of 1875.

Official document from the Kingdom of Greece in 1922, mentioning the name of the commanding officer of…Macedonia.

The Greek government had given the title  ”Governor General of Macedonia” to the Greek minister of the Macedonia region in Greece.

Examples:

In early 1923 the Governor-General of Macedonia, Achilleas Lambros, conducted an ethnological survey of this region.(30) According to Lambros, the statistical data came (a) from the official Greek census of 1920, (b) from another census conducted at about the same time on behalf of the Foreign Ministry and (c) from information derived from various local officials.

This figure is also supported by an 1912 unofficial and unpublished census found in the papers of the first Greek Governor-General of Macedonia, Stefanos Dragoumis.(25)
(25.) Archeio Stefanou Dragoumi [Stefanos Dragoumis Papers], F.116.4., Governor-General of Thessaloniki to the Prime Minister, Thessaloniki, 4 November 1913, ref. 17210

1923: “In the course of conversation, Mr. Lambros [Governor General of Macedonia], actually said that the present was a good opportunity to get rid of the Bulgars [sic] who remained in this area and who had always been a source of trouble for Greece.

We can easily find references in international press.

Time Magazine - Aug. 04, 1924 

 Time Magazine, ‘Toward Warm Water?’, Monday, Jul. 23, 1945

The Greek Company of Scientific Researches were publishing books in Greece while sending similar reports to the Greek government under the title “Economy of Macedonia” in 1928.

The Greek “Club of scholars from Macedonia” were sending reports to the Greek government from education in Macedonia, having in the cover pictures of Alexander the Great in 1932.

The undergraduates in the University of Thessalonike were listening to their Rector adressing them for being lucky to be in “the heart of Macedonia” just in

MACEDONIA und THESSALONIKI Newspaper logo

Macedonia (Greek:Μακεδονία) is a Greek daily newspaper first published in 1911 by Vellidis.

The Society for Macedonian Studies

In the spring of 1939, a number of distinguished citizens of Thessaloniki founded the Society for Macedonian Studies as a legal entity of private law.
[…]
The Society for Macedonian Studies founded the Institute for Balkan Studies, initially as one of its own departments. The latter is now an independent body in its own right, with the Society for Macedonian Studies represented by three of the seven members of the Administrative Board. Another foundation is the Historical Archive of Macedonia, and the Society was also co-founder of the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle.

Art Gallery of the Society for Macedonian Studies

Founded in 1975, this was the first organised visual art institution in the city, its purpose being to promote and disseminate modern Greek art, mainly that of northern Greece. […] The collection comprises more than 400 works, mainly paintings, sculptures, and engravings, mostly by artists from Thessaloniki and Macedonia in general, though there are also works by major artists from the rest of Greece and other countries too.

The term Macedonia was also used in Greek school books.

Thessaloniki Museum of the Macedonian Struggle

The Society which is responsible for the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle is that of the “Frieds of the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle”, a private association founded in Thessaloniki in 1979.
Greece uses the term“MAKEDONIA” even before Macedonia was liberated.  FYROM’s propagandistic claim that the greek Term “MAKEDONIA” was forbidden in Greece is totally clumsy and another lie used by FYROM’s propagandists.

Many thanks to the members of MacedoniaOnTheWeb for gathering all that info.
