REASONS WHY SKOPJE, THE SOUTHERNMOST FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC (FYROM) SHOULD NOT USE THE NAMES "MACEDONIA" AND MACEDONIAN TO DEFINE ITSELF AS AN INDEPENDENT STATE AND AS NATIONALITY
INTRODUCTION
It is common knowledge the persistent attempts of Skopje, the Southernmost Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, to impose on the international community, particularly on Greece, the historic Greek names "Macedonia" and "Macedonian", for their state and national identification.
This insolent usurpation of the identity of Macedonians, which is also identity of Greeks, besides the Greek character of the Name, the Language, History and Civilization of Macedonia does not surprise us since it has been a conflicting one for 61 years. However what has taken us by surprise is the recent recognition of the State of Skopje by the USA under this Greek name.
This recognition is unwise and offensive, at the expense of the Greek interests, and in any case inconsistent with the USA policy in the past.
Undeniable facts prove that the renaming of Southern Serbia to Macedonia by TITO, in concert with STALIN, served two objectives: the first one was the weakening of Serbia and the second and most important one the segregation of the northern Greek province of Macedonia in order to have access to the Aegean Sea by gaining control over the port of Thessalonici; further to the creation of the Aegean Pseudomacedonia.
It seems that the USA diversified from the position they held in the past. Specifically the USA made a stand against this action taken by Tito and responded promptly by circular No 868014/26-12-44, issued by Roosvelt's Secretary of State, Edward R. Stetinius Jr, who declared the following:
"This government considers that any mention to "Macedonian Nation", "Macedonian Fatherland" or "Macedonian Identity" is unjustified and demagogic; it does not represent national of political reality perceiving it, in its present resurgence, as a probable cover for offensive actions against Greece. The official policy of this government is to take the necessary steps against those who will aid Yugoslavia or Bulgaria to raise the "Macedonian Question" at the exprense of Greece".
This policy was reinforced by the subsequent USA Presidents as well as the legislative bodies (the Congress and the Senate).
The above mentioned declaration was proved prophetic granted that Tito and Stalin attempted an attack upon Greece to which the USA reacted in 1947 by adopting the Truman Doctrine and aid programs to Greece in order to protect its territorial integrity from communist rule. The above mentioned attitude/stand was supported among other by United Nations, the Pope John Paul and Stalin and Dimitrof's confessions.
