"The Greek government views the term "Macedonian" as a geographic term that describes all Greek citizens living in the Macedonian region in northern Greece. The government denies the assertions of the ethnic Macedonians in Greece that they are are a minority group; officials refer to them as "Slavophone Greeks" or "bilinguals." - Human Rights Watch

The Drama of the Aegean Macedonians
Wednesday, 02 July 2008
  “The monarcho-fascists bombed the village with cannons.  Six houses were destroyed and 34 houses were burned completely.  Then they invaded the village, looted it, and let loose 500 sheep, while we watched hidden in the mountains.  Our soldiers were nowhere, and the anger of the monarcho-fascists was unleashed on a few of the remaining villagers.  During the bombing, a 10-year old girl named Lefterija Doneva was hit in the chest and wounded in her stomach.  In her serious state, they took her to the basement of the house, while the bombing lasted.  After the bombing, we took the girl from the village, but she died in the mountains in agonizing pain, and so we buried her near the village of Rula.  The mother of this girl fled with us, though we lost track of her later and I don’t know where she is now,” says Eftova.

UMD Thanks Congressman K. Michael Conaway
Friday, 20 June 2008
Your wise decision to withdraw your sponsorship of House Resolution 356 honors the Republic of Macedonia, the outstanding relationship amongst the United States and Macedonia, and is welcomed by all Macedonian-Americans as House Resolution 356 inaccurately portrays Macedonia’s constructive approach to resolving the unfortunate “name dispute” over Macedonia’s name.  Your decision is also in keeping with our nation’s rightful policy of recognizing and employing Macedonia’s constitutional name, the Republic of Macedonia, and our nation’s desire that Macedonia be admitted to NATO.

Friday, 20 June 2008
