THE SCOPIANS (F.Y.R.O.M.) QUESTION from ARTICLE from THE INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNE by Dr. Thalis Mylonas

It is worth mentioning, also, another example of impunity of crimes against humanity, which had been committed by the Yugoslavians, the northern neighbors of Greece, during the communist regime.
As it is well know, during World War II Tito, under the guidance of Stalin, an din accordance with the communist parties of the east bloc and the clear expansionist aims of the Slavs to reach the Mediterranean waters, named the southern part of Yugoslavia Macedonia , which until that time was called Vardaska.
This action was condemned by Ed. R. Stettinius the Sec. of U.S. who at that time, in his memo to the US embassies, stated that the State Dept. noted with particular concern the propaganda and the statements regarding an independent Macedonia coming from Yougoslavia (Tito) which aimed to threaten Greek territories.
The government of the US, he stated, regarded the possibility of creation of a Macedonian nation or country, as unjustified demagoguery as it did not represent, either a national or a political reality, but aimed, only, on reviving aggression against Greece. Later on, the Communist regime of Yugoslavia and the other Balkan communist states, invaded in the internal affairs of Greece by supporting the Communist insurgents against the legal Government of the State with the aim to incorporate to Yugoslavia communist federation state, the territory of the Greek Macedonia. Bit it failed because of the victory of the Greek army.
After the collapse of the Socialistic Bloc and the dissolution 1990 of the Yugoslavian Federation, the South region of Yugoslavia (Vardasca) became an independent state, without possessing all the legal presuppositions, which are conditions sene qua non, for the creation of an independent state. This state was artificial and created from several people as, 35% Albanians, 15% Scopians, 10% Bulgarians, 15% Greeks, 10% Serbians, and the balance of Romanians, Turk and Gypsies etc. Finally, this new state FYROM, by their self-orientation renamed their state from Vardasca to Macedonian Democracy and claimed to be recognized as, Macedonian Ethnology with Macedonian language. These actions are illegal nul and void, because in essence they try to extent their country in the Greek Macedonia, as they had tried during the communist regime, but in any case, the above actions and claims of FYROM are illegal and cannot be accepted by the international community, because:

1)Their claims to be recognized as Macedonian ethnology and their language as Macedonian are scientifically wrong and illegal, because the creation of ethnology presupposes common characteristics, of its people, as for instance, same cultural roots, history, tradition, language, religion, customs and the feeling that they belong to the same nation. Unfortunately, the people which created this state belong to different ethnologies such as Albanians, Slavs, Bulgarians, Gypsies, Serbians, Torlacs, Turkish, Greeks, Romanians, etc. Therefore Fyrom is not entitles to claim Macedonian ethnology and Macedonian language, because the Macedonians who lived in this area since thousand years BC were Greeks and spoke the Greek language as it is proved by the Aristotle, Democritos, Evripidis and many others who wrote their books in Greek language, while the Slavs came to this area only 1000 years ago.
2)Their claim to usurp the Greek name Macedonia contradicts the principles of Equality and Justice, which constitute common Law, (jus cogens). Comparing the two neighbour countries, Greece has multiple rights over FYROM, because it uses the name Macedonia thousand years and possesses 71% of the historical Macedonian territory, which is inhabited by 2.650.000 Greek Macedonians, although the Slavs possess only the 17% of the historical Macedonian territory and uses this name illegally for about 50 years, while the majority of its population, of this region, has always been Greek (Hellenes), although they were forced to be dishellenized by the communist regime. The Bulgarians occupy 11% of the Macedonian territory and the Albanians 1% of it.
3)Their claim to use the name Macedonia abuses the legal, cultural and hereditary products of Greece according to the international treaty of UNESCO of 1970, which provide that: history, civilization and the leading personalities of this country, constitute cultural products and national values, protected by the international treaties and the General Rules of Law.
4)Their behavior undermines the International Legality because, by using the Greek name Macedonia attempts to legalize its illegal and criminal actions against Greece, which started in 1944 up to 1949 by Tito and Stalin, who by intervening in the internal affairs of Greece and by offering help, to the so-called democratic army of the revolutionary communist party and by capturing 28.000 Greek children and deporting them to countries in the communist block, committed the crime of genocide and against humanity.
5)Their endeavor to legalize the falsification of the Greek history intended to usurp it history, its civilization and the great historical personalities of Greece such as King Philipp, Alexander the Great, philosophers Aristole, Democritos etc. all of whom constitute significant cultural elements of Greece, because the ancient Macedonians, like Thessalians, Athenians, Spartans, Dorians, Ionians, Ahaians and meny other were Greek races and created the Greek Nation.

After the above the appeal by FYROM of their name Macedonian Democracy, as provided in its constitution does not excuse their illegal attitude and has nothing to do with the legality, because according to the cannon EX TURBI CAUSA NON ORITUR ACTION and the decision of the International Courts, no one state has the right to require justice for it illegal acts or to make use of its constitution in order to sustain its rights in the international level. Therefore, the political actions of this new state FYROM and its constitution cannot supersede the international treaties, the international law and the resolutions of the international Courts.
