due to lack of time i ll try to give a short translation of the article. in general these guys are greek left-wing and quite well documented. moreover they present a series of mistakes of the greek foreign policy and they are in the position to say we make mistakes... its not the fault of others.
so according to the article:
myth 1: the name macedonian its a creation of tito in 1944
in general the term macedonian greek and macedonian bulgarian was used by the people in the region in the late 1800s and was accepted by the greek propaganda machine
myth 2: the lands which belong today to FYROM are outside of the historic macedonia.
actually the whole FYROM is a part of philips macedonia. the distinction between geographic macedonia and historic was a greation of the greek minstry of foreign affairs
myth 3: the actual name of FYROM is vardanska banovina(excuse me for my bad knowledge of slavic language
in reality that name was used only for 12 years under the yugoslavian state (1929-1941)
myth 4: Naming our north neighbours "macedonia" it implies land demands against the greek macedonia
actually any land demands made by bulgaria or titos yugoslavia were always based on the slavic minorities living in northern greece rather than names. greece also demanded land in the northen borders using also an aceeptable argument at the time of seeking fertile land.
today land demands are considered unacceptable according to international laws
myth 5: the (non-real) relationship of the slav-macedonians with the ancient maceonians is sth created in the last 15 years
in reality the supposed connection between the slav-macedonians and the ancient ones was a quite popular propaganda of the greek foreign office in the early 19th century
a complete different situation is the symbol of the "sun of vergina" as a national symbol of FYROM in 1992. it was clear from the very beggining that is was a diplomatic trick created for future bargain by the FYROM goverment. this is proven by the easiness by which it was changed in 1995 but also from the forseeing of the FYROM goverment of the failure of that attempt which used a different sun when it produced coins already from 1993
myth 6: the greek ministry of foreign affaires ignored the subject for over half a century
actually it has been always an important subject, and a number of things agreed never came to people due to a patriotic autocencorship
myth 7 the goverment of fyrom has been consatntly not willing to negotiate
actually the greek govermant rejected first all proposed names in the period of 1992-93 (new-macedonia, north-macednia..etc)
myth 8: the nationalist parties in FYROM are a direct danger to the security and integrity of greece
the existance of nationalist in everycountry is not sth surprising.
if they pose a real danger though, is a completely different story
in the case of FYROM a lot of discussion went on about the party of BMPO which at the time was the second biggest. actually BMPO was already contacting the greek secret services in 1992
when in 1998 BMPO came to power it was giving in even more than its predecessors (selling strategic industries to the greeek capitalists)
(my comment: is it always that nationalists- the ones who shout the most- are the first ones to betray their land?
there is still ofcource a problem when it comes to nationalist comments in the history books. for solving the problem in general in the balkan region there exists already a comitee which tries to eliminate the preaching of hate in history books. ofcource the work of the committee assumes absence of tension betwen the countries
myth 9. in FYROM lives a significant greek minority
in any case it is a myth
myth 10. the position of the greek goverment was absolutely giving in and not fighting enough
actually greece in the beggining (1992), didnt mind and actually discussed the idea of destrying the new formed state
