Recently, for several months, Greeks across the country in every city and every corner of the globe (in Cyprus, America, Germany, Australia, Canada, England, etc.) are demonstrating against the final agreement of the government – which was a result of the wrong tactics of all previous governments for many decades – for the tradition of the name of Greek Macedonia in the neighboring country of Skopje of former Yugoslavia or else of the Vardaska Region. At the same time they give the name of thousands of years, and they also recognize the Macedonian language which is something that does not exist.

World history is distorted and this cannot in any way be allowed. At the same time, it undermines the danger of changing borders, changing history books and promoting concealment of the truth for dark purposes of foreign interests which have other plans for the wider region.

All friends of the truth, as well as those who have distinguished and honored Alexander the Great as the greatest Greek of all history, are called to protect the truth in every way. There are the historical sources and the archaeological finds (museum inscriptions, Vergina, Pella, Amphipolis etc.) that confirm the self-evident.

The story must be protected and the truth must be spread.

Map of Cyprus 1562

Ferrandus BERTELLI , " Isola di Cipro " - " Cyprus Insula olim Macharia... Romae M.D.LXII , Ferandus Bertelli excude " (182x250mm) , Rome 1562 . Loose sheet . Contemporary colour . 

This very rare map of Cyprus was first issued in Rome in 1560 by a certain "B.F." The Venetian , F. Bertelli published the same map two years later , in 1562 , after it had been re-engraved by the Roman cartographer Marius Kartaro whose monogram , "M.K.", appears at the bottom right corner . It is a loose sheet map but it has also been traced in Lafreri type atlases (IATO collections) . The present copy was once in the famous Novacco Map Collection . Although published in the 1560s , when such Venetian cartographers like Camocio were at work (see Fig. 7) , this map is more akin to Bordone's woodcut style of the 1520s (see Fig. 2) and uses mostly pictorial signs rather than toponyms .

A response to Telegraph British Travel edition about Macedonia

Dear editors and journalists,

I am writing about your article:  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/articles/hiking-in-macedonia/

where you are claiming that Alexander the Great was not Greek and that Greece not existed as a nation at 4th century BC, which shows that you completely ignore ancient history and culture.
Not only Alexander the Great (III), but also his ancestor, Alexander the 1st (498-454 BC.) was Greek and participated in the Olympic games (the first Olympics is traditionally dated to 776 BC), claiming his origin of Argos from the Timenides tribe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Greece
https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/world-history/ancient-medieval/classical-greece/a/greek-culture
You can also read the following article about the name issue:

Makedonian name, culture, history is only Greek for more than 2.500 years

and any other claim from our Slav neighbors is fake that creates only problems between the 2 countries and the whole Balkans.

We want to live peacefully with our neighbors (FYROM), but the experience of the last years proves that, sacrificing our name and history has the opposite result, because:

you cannot live peacefully with a neighbor that claims the name of your family, history and property.

The last years we are watching a ridiculous and shameful comedy in Skopje, of harsh violation of historical, cultural data and the right of a region (Greek region of Macedonia) to have its obvious own ancient history and identity.

The problem is that FYROM claims, through the right of self-determination, the rights of its neighbor (Greece), to the name, to its own territory and history. The base of these claims is that the ancient Makedonians didn’t speak the Greek language and were not Greeks, so FYROM, that named itself Makedonia and living in a part of the ancient Makedonia, is the real descendant of the ancient Makedonia and can claim its history, land, culture and glory.

In this video, the first president of FYROM says very clear that: “the people of FYROM, we are Slavs that we came in this area in 6th century AD, (more than 1.000 years after the ancient Macedonians) and we don’t have any relation with them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=13&v=9-huPB71OLY .

While in this video (https://www.newsit.gr/politikh/skopiano-apantisan-oti-o-megas-aleksandros-itan-ellinas-kai-exasan-23-000-eyro-vid/2404564/ ), in one TV game, in Great Britain, are saying that Alexander the Great was not Greek, but Macedonian (showing at the same time the flag of Skopje), born in Pella (which was and is still is a Greek prefecture) at 356 B.C.(while the Slavs came to our neighborhood after 1.000 years).

Besides this, all the facts are proving the identity of the ancient Macedonians, a few of them:

·         All the known Macedonians had pure Greek names (kings, army officers, writers … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ancient_Macedonians ), like: Alexandros (this is his original Greek name) the Great himself and all his family [Filippos – father, Olympias – mother, Thessaloniki – sister (not Solun as Slavs say)] and his teachers: Leonidas (his uncle), Lysimachus and the philosopher Aristoteles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_the_Great ).

·         Moreover, only Greeks can pronounce correctly all these absolutely Greek names and can understand their meaning.

·         All the written evidences in coins, inscriptions, statues, books, letters are only Greek.

·         The era after the death of Alexandros the Great, called Hellenistic. Why?

·         The origin of the Makedonian empire is the Greek province of Pella, where the palace and most of the tombs are lying.

·         The 12 gods of the ancient Greece, were placed in Makedonia on the mountain Olympus (if Makedonia was not assumed as Greek territory, the Greeks shouldn’t place their gods there and let the Makedonians to participate in Olympic games).

·         Aristoteles the great Greek philosopher and teacher of Alexander the Great was born in Stagira, Chalkidiki, which geographically is located in the heart of Makedonia, his name, language and work was purely Greek .

After all, for everybody, who has good knowledge of ancient history, is more than obvious that the origin of the Ancient Makedonians was Greek and only Greek [because the most important fact which determines the nation is not the borders (that can change through the years) but the culture and language]. Here is a link, where recognized history professors explain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l4OHLf-yP0 , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35t2jeXx3dA 

Claiming that the culture and history of ancient Makedonia belongs to Skopje, is like claiming that Bavaria is Brazilian inheritance and Leonardo da Vinci was Japanese.

Dear Telegraph,

As also a journalist myself I would like to recommend you before uploading such an article, that includes historical links, to advise history and historical sources in general. This article is a propaganda https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/articles/hiking-in-macedonia/

What do I mean?

1) The country you call Macedonia is actually an area in Greece from thousands of years before until today. All archaeologists, monuments and ancient literature prove it. The other country from former Yiougoslavia is Skopje or Vardaska

2) Alexander was Macedonian, and as Macedonia was a part of Greek nation, Alexander was Greek – also proved by history. The pictures that you use, in this unhistorical article, all come from Greek history and when you transform these sources you are using directly propaganda for other reasons. So, speak the truth and write the sourses, do not change history because doing so it’s a crime

3) In this article you try to use Mythology forgotting again the sources , who wrote Mythology , what really depicts Mythology and where did these heroes come from? Guess what . From Greece

4) You mix datas in this article, you are trying to combine Greek cities with Yiougoslavish cities. These are totally different, they belong to seperated countries.

So dear Paul Bloomfield,

make a revision in history please. You are columnist in Telegraph, which is supposed to be trustful. Forgot the propaganda you ve been told and do your job properly. A journalist needs to investigate always!

If you need help, I also sent you some maps that depict the truth you try to hide

Macedonia is Greece

Vardaska or Skopje is former Yiougoslavia

Greeks and Slavs are totally different
