Salonica, The city of all Greeks

Salonica is the city of all Greeks.
We all love this gem of Macedonia.
The city and the wider area of Macedonia was liberated in the autumn of 1912.
On Oct. 26 of this year and day of Salonica’s Patron Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki, the Greek Army, after winning several fierce battles against the Turkish forces, entered the city welcomed by the frenzied applause of its Greek inhabitants who had been expected for centuries to live a moment like this.
Since then it is Greek and participates in every National activity and is called honourably
co-capital of Greece.
Salonica is a beautiful city with nice people.

During WW2 Fascist Italy attacked Greece on Oct. 28, 1940 and Eperus, Macedonia and Thrace (Greece’s Northern provinces) were found in the middle of the war turbulence. The Greeks were enlisted in the army willingly from all over the Greek areas and many came also from Cyprus and from other countries abroad to fought fiercely and defend their homeland.
The lads of Macedonia were no exception of course. Many died during the war and of mentioning is among others the FYROM’s PM Nicola Gruefski’s grandfather who died, like a Greek hero he was, for the defence of Greece.
In April 1941 the city fell to the Nazi forces and this caused the fall of all of Northern Greece. During the Nazi – Fascist occupation, Salonica, like any other Greek city paid heavy prize in blood for the Freedom and National Pride of our country.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the attack and a grand army parade will take place in the city for the commemoration of this event.
This parade takes place every year in Salonica and not in Athens, not only to honour the city, but also the Greeks of these areas at north of our country, who have fought a lot to keep them Greek.

KALH 28 OKTVBRIOY SE OLOYS!
Happy and Glorious anniversary!
c u all on Sunday
:)

I don't know if you guys heard ..but the Communists spoke out on Antenna news, saying that we should not have any parades today. These jerks need to be stopped. They don't want us to be proud of our history. If they don't like it they should move to a different country!

Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski opened Tuesday in Melbourne the Macedonian Consulate, followed by a meeting with emigrants, thus completing the Australia.

"We are launching a more intensive cooperation with Australia. I believe ties were a bit neglected in the past, leaving the Macedonian diaspora to work by itself. Opportunities are being created, which can provide better results in the future", said PM Gruevski.

He added that the visit was a step forward in bilateral relations, whereas such ties should continue in the future, taking into consideration the size, power and influence of Australia.

The opening of a Macedonian Consulate in Melbourne aims at strengthening relations, but also sending a message to the Macedonian diaspora regarding their increased involvement in the Australian society for the purpose of greater unity.

"I met with Macedonians in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne, pointing out the Government's activities, the country's strategy and the necessity for greater unity of the diaspora", underlined Gruevski.

Prime Minister Gruevski met with Australian counterpart Kevin Rudd, House of Representatives Speaker Harry Jenkins, as well as other senior officials.

The good with the communists (KKE) is that - like the rest of the other Greek parties - they do not accept a "Macedonian Ethnicity and thus, in this subject all Greece is united.
Regarding the parade this does not mean that they do not honour the Greeks of Northern Greece and their sacrifices for Greece and this is good of course. Yet to me a parade is always necesary.(eg see Russia)

Your lack of anything that resembles history is spectacular! That is why you're trying to steal Greek history and in essence Bulgarian history as well.

You're a tool.

"geek" history is not available....

"For historians of the old school, Geek history ended when the Geek pederocitystates lost their political and homosexual liberty; they looked upon it as a closed story, mounting to a loosers finish at Chaeronea."

greeks crimes against macedonians
The situation was no different in the other areas of Aegean Macedonia. In 1948 the majority of the Macedonian population of western and central Aegean Macedonia fled to Yugoslavia and Albania in order to save their lives. More than 60,000 Macedonian men and women were forced to seek, refuge outside the country, fleeing across the border.
In June 1946 a group of Greek Members of Parliament suggested that the Greek Parliament issue a decree for the forced deportation of all Macedonians from the Aegean part of Macedonia, a suggestion which was justified by their alleged activities, which were said to be a threat to the integrity and sovereignty of Greece and a danger to the peace.
the Greek monarcho-fascists was the forced resettlement of their villagers and the dumping of them in special camps in urban centres, which had begun as early as 1946. According to the statistics, 213,000 people were forcibly exited from the Aegean part of Macedonia. The terror, mass murder and other forms of repression proved ineffective when it came to breaking the spirit of Macedonians

the Macedonian national liberation movement grew into an important and in certain periods even a decisive military and political factor in the country, one with clear and defined strategic goals. More than 20,000 Macedonians served in the ranks of the Democratic Army of Greece (DAG) and its auxiliary services.
The liberated territory, covering mainly the territory of Aegean Macedonia, had popular rule, Macedonian people's schools, a Macedonian people's printing-house which published newspapers and other material in Macedonian, cultural and arts groups and other Macedonian institutions.
1948 the Greek government passed the "M" Decree ordering the confiscation of the property of those individuals who had taken part in the Civil War on the side of the Communist Party of Greece (CPG) and NOF, and of those who had assisted these organizations and whose Greek citizenship had been revoked. In addition to this decree, the "N" Decree was passed on 2nd April 1948. This decree revoked the right of inheritance of all those who had taken part in or helped the Civil War.
On 23rd February 1953 a meeting of the Greek military and administrative authorities in Macedonia was held in Thessaloniki at which it was decided to propose that the Greek government pass a law on the resettlement and re-inhabiting of the so-called sensitive border areas of the Aegean part of Macedonia. it was suggested that all Macedonians from within 60 kilometers of the border be resettled,.....
as disloyal elements, and that in their place Greeks loyal to the regime should be brought in as "healthy elements" with "pure Greek national awareness . The Greek government accepted this proposal and submitted it to the Greek Parliament which, on 4th August 1953, passed Law NL- 2536 on the resettlement of the population from the border areas.

A total of 28,000 children, aged 2-14 years, left their war-torn homeland for the safety of the Eastern European countries. With the assistance of the Red Cross in these countries, they were housed, fed and educated. Tragically, 1,200 children between the ages of 14-15 were brought back to the battlefield by the Provisional Government of the Greek Communists, the majority of whom were slaughtered in the last days of the Greek Civil War

In accordance with the regulations of this law special state commissions were formed which effected the resettlement, selected people of pure Greek origin and established them in the Macedonian border areas, handing over to them the Macedonians, property. Among these people there were Greek nationalists, chauvinists and anti-Macedonians who had distinguished themselves in the struggle against NOF and DAG.

A case in point, and not an isolated one, is that of the group of Macedonian villages called Janovenski in the Kostur region, the inhabitants of which had all fought in the ranks of DAG. Some of the inhabitants of these villages did not emigrate but were resettled in other parts of Macedonia. When the Civil War ended they requested to be allowed to return to their villages, but their request was turned down and their properties were pillaged and their homes demolished.

40,000 people residing in East European countries (Macedonians) the Greek government could not accept or apply the principle of free repatriation.

40,000 people residing in East European countries (Macedonians) the Greek government could not accept or apply the principle of free repatriation. On 30th December 1982 greek government passed a law on the free repatriation of refugees from Greece, i.e. of those "Greek by birth", by which the Macedonians (as non-Greeks by birth) were deprived of the possibility of returning to their homes, to the country of their birth.
1986 The Greek paper "Elefteros Tipos" announces that Prime-Minister Papandreu in the talks with Yugoslav presidency member Stane Dolanc has agreed to recognize the Macedonian language as one of&#65279; the official languages in Yugoslavia.

1988 Greek Prime-Minister Papandreu and the Foreign Affairs' Karolos Papulias, agree to recognize the Macedonian language in Greece. The banker's affair "Koskotas" brings down the PASOK government, and the documents were never signed
