THE MACEDONIAN FILE: THE GREEK MINORITY IN THE FYROM UNDER BONDAGE
BY
MICHAEL S. CHRYSANTHOPOULOS
A large
undeniably Greek community lived and flourished in the past in the current
neighboring country, unaware of later developments. It still exists under
indescribably difficult condition in that once Greek land, which in recent
decades has been seen byothers as a region beyond its history and the historic
significance of its appellation while others consider it as part of a wider Slavic country,
bearing the same name.
Greek
nationals and refugees, nomads and townspeople, Slavophones, Vlachs and
Sarakatsans, the true Macedonia’s, frightened by the brutal regime under which
they live and disappointed by the indifference of the Greek state ignoring
them, are waiting patiently the end of the beginning of a major Greek gesture
in defiance of those who chose to plan history at the negotiating tables
without involving the real players.
So the true
Greek north, such as Bitola (Monastiri) and Megarovo, Krusevo
and Gevgelija, Ohrid and Stromnitsa will remain (for how long?) a distant
memory for the Macedonians and an unknown country for our political and
spiritual leaders.
