 | | The question about the number of the Macedonian Slavs in Greek Macedonia, however, is and has been the subject of much speculation as Greece's censuses have not included the criteria of nationality and mother tongue since the 1950s. | | | Bulgaria has repeatedly accused the Republic of Macedonia of appropriating Bulgarian national heroes and symbols and of editing works of literature and historical documents so as to prove the existence of a Macedonian Slav consciousness before the 1940s. | | | The remainder of Greek Macedonia (including all of the coast) was occupied by Nazi Germany. |

| | We have already concluded shortly that the migration movements and repercussions on the exchange of the ethnic structure in Aegean Macedonia which took part in the period of 1912-1949, as a result of the historical events and the discrimination politics of the Greek authorities. | | | It is of interest to Greece itself, as in the practice and through the history has been proved that denying of freedom and the national traditions of the peoples and minorities do not lead toward collaboration and closeness among peoples. | | | But, another fact for the Macedonians, and not only for them, had got very significant results for the exchanges in ethnic structure of Aegean Macedonia, and it was Greco-Turkish War between 1919 and 1922. |

| | Macedonia Blockade |
| | The Greeks deny the existence of Macedonians as a distinct ethnic group, insisting their own ethnic Macedonians are, Slavophone Greeks.(2) The Republic of Macedonia refuses to compromise on what it considers the heritage and identity of its people. | | | They claim that the ancient Macedonians were Greek and that the inhabitants of the Republic of Macedonia are Slavic peoples with no right to call themselves Macedonian. | | | The rector and five other were arrested and later charged with, þinciting people to resist the police, preventing the police from exercising their duties, and illegal possession of weapons.þ These events prompted the Albanian Party president Arben Djaferi to say that, "from today, Macedonia cannot deny being a repressive state."(44) 28. |

| | Amnesty International condemned the Greek politics in Macedonia on one side not recognizing the Bulgarian ethnic group and on other side denying their fundamental human rights and trying to erase their culture. | | | This fact prove 100% that the new invented Nation in 1944 was just political decision of the communist Yugoslavia in order to keep the occupied land after the Balkan war in 1912 and to divide the Bulgarian nation. | | | Certainly some of the evidence and truth can't be found in the Greek History Books, which are made to justified the occupation of the Bulgarian land- Macedonia, which was never Hellenic. |

| | The two three pieces are "Macedonia" (Skopje) and what the Skopjans call Pirin Macedonia and Aegean Macedonia (what we Macedonians in Greece call simply Macedonia)] in a fully autonomous and independent political unit, within its natural geographical and ethnic frontiers. | | | Greece claims that Skopjans, who are evidently non-Greeks, by using to identify themselves a hellenic (greek) name that still identifies a region in modern Greece, the people living in that region, and their thousands year old heritage, implies territorial claims on behalf of Skopje. | | | Only communist countries were considered democratic!] and for their union in a Balkan federation which alone can guarantee the political existence of an independent Macedonia and the independence of the other Balkan peoples."That is, the existence of any ``Macedonian'' state would require the ``democratization'', a la Hungary and Czechoslovakia, of at least Greece. |

| | Some Macedonian human rights activists in Aegean Macedonia have estimated the actual number of Rainbow party votes to be as high as 35,000. | | | The leadership of the Rainbow party has said that a large part of these funds has been raised from Macedonians living in the Aegean part of Macedonia, but they are still short on all of the funds required to wage an effective election campaign. | | | Pangalos, at a press conference at the end of his visit, stated that a Macedonian minority did not exist in Greece, which is unremarkable given the long-standing Greek policy of forced assimilation of its sizeable Macedonian population. |
