Macedonians in Greece

The question of the language was the most delicate for the Greek side. It could not be concealed nor could it be “explained”.

Following the 1913 Treaty of Bucharest, the Macedonian place names were gradually changed to Greek names. Here is a list of those changed names.

Over 160 Macedonian villages were burned with significant loss of life and the remaining population forced to flee.

The Greeks do not only persecute living Slavs (Macedonians)…, but they even persecute dead ones. They do not leave them in peace even in the graves. They erase the Slavonic inscriptions on the headstones, remove the bones and burn them.

The Macedonian-Greek conflict is a very complex issue. Lots of books have been written about Macedonia, but many of them simply serve to justify the aspirations, propaganda, and the partition of Macedonia of 1913, by the neighboring countries such as Greece.
