Ova e od eden moj blizok.
Има една Ана Петрушева, од коjа ми се згади за време на фингираната воjна во 2001 год. (работеше за Reuters).
Сега напишала како била страшно лута за ова што се случи со приемот во НАТО. И почнале да се роjат бирократи кои велат како нашата влада била глупава дека го крстила аеродромот Александар Велки, па потоа почнале да се просеруваат грчиштата, итн.
Но се jавил и еден од нашиве ситни продадени души "Gjorgjievski". Тоj пак jа фали Грциjа дека ни дозволила некои работи и повикува на компромис. Нему лично не ми се бендисувало Горна Македониjа, но се согласувал со не знам каква.
И jас паднав во транс, седнав да му напишам одговор, па реков да го споделам. Еве го:
Gjorgjievski:
It is just great that Greece is "allowing you" to have something that is yours by definition, and is enshrined in the highest legal documents and practice at home and internationally. Namely, to be who you are.
All now see that it is not the name Macedonia that Greece is concerned with per se. It is the very existence of the Macedonian people and Macedonian nation that Greece can not come to terms with.
The UN Charter does not say Macedonia is accepted in if Greece allows it, but it says something different. Putting extralegal demands on Macedonia for changing the name at the UN then, has created a different reality now.
Now international bureaucrats can say that it was "stupid" to name our airport by the name of a person that slaughtered the entire ancient Hellenic army...and will give you advice on issues that that are and should be non-issues altogether.
The destruction of Macedonia/ns was thought to have been concluded in 1913 during the brutal Balkan wars when Macedonia was partitioned among Greece, Bulgaria, and Serbia. Yet, the Macedonian question reemerged in 1991.
Naturally, few, least of which Greece, would like the headache of dealing with consequences today of the genocide over the Macedonians that ensued then and the wholesale theft of history, of property rights Greece denies to hundred of thousands of exiled Macedonians, of the Macedonian minority on the part of Macedonia that Greece acquired in 1913, among other things.
It seems there was an understanding on some level to "close" this question in a more sophisticated way, via international sanction. Thus the UN charade with unprecedented extralegal demands on Macedonia and with the “temporary provisional reference.” This farce continues internationally and our politicians are to blame for it as well for caving in to the Greeks and to international bureaucrats, for their personal benefits, of course.
We Macedonians accept that a heavy blow was dealt to us then, and accept we are a defeated nation. But a new generation of Macedonians is rising, concious and proud of our nationality and ofour ancient history.
However, from this little piece of land on which we survived through the centuries, and together with us our Macedonian civilization that you are yet to read about, we tell you: we do not need a godfather. We have a name. We are who we are, and we cannot change our name no matter what. If we can't get into NATO the way we are as Macedonians, then all we can say is: see ya, we don't want to be ya.
Last but not least, in the past, assimilation was done by force. Today, you just cannot tell us that we do not have the freedom to sing songs about Alexander, to name our airports and streets as we please, to use our historical symbols that oh so many of our neighbors want to make as solely theirs. Because within NATO or not, we do.
