Examples of Human Rights Abuses in Greece - 1913 to 1993
Risto Stefov
In view of the International Court of Justice ruling against Greece in December 2011 for blocking Macedonia´s bid to join NATO in 2008, I believe it important to have the following items publicized along with the question: "When will Greece be found guilty of all the other crimes it has committed against the Macedonian people?"
ICJ Ruling exposes NATO duplicity, Greece unintentionally hints at real root cause of "name dispute"
United Macedonian Diaspora
On December 5, 2011, the International Court of Justice ruled that Greece had illegally blocked Macedonia from joining international institutions such as NATO, in violation of the "Interim Accord" (1995). As a matter of law, the ICJ ruled that the U.N. Security Council brokered agreement precluded Greece from blocking Macedonia from NATO.
International Court of Justice finds both Greece and FYROM breached the Interim Accord
Australian Macedonian Advisory Council
Yesterday the International Court of Justice (ICJ) handed down its verdict regarding an application by the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) to establish that Greece breached the Interim Accord of 13 September 1995, in response to which Greece cross-claimed that FYROM had previously brea...
Enjoy a Holiday with Yacht Charter Greece
Navneet k Singh
Greece, which is known for its many mythological gods and goddesses as well as romantic stories can also be said to hold one of the most coastal regions in the continent of Europe.
A Brief Look at the Macedonians from Greece
Risto Stefov
The Greek fascist terror in Greek occupied Macedonia forced many Macedonian families to leave their native homes and find shelter and peace abroad. My family was one of those families at the forefront of Greek terror. Because of war and because of political turmoil in the region, my father fled the village in 1946 and crossed the border to Yugoslavia.

Financial stability of Greece as a part of European Union is a matter of survival of Europe itself.
Peter Kikareas
With Turkey turned to Muslim country and increasing its interests to become a leader, as well Iran and all the Middle East and North Africa unrest threatening Europe it should be a grave mistake for the European Union not to face Greece´s problem as its own problem of existence.

From Madoff to Murdoch to Greece: Whatever Happened to Ethics?
Sam Vaknin
As Weber observed largely correctly, the Protestant work ethic underlies the rise of modern capitalism. Calvinism regarded work as a form of worship and success as proof of divine approval. Protestants of all creeds valued time - God's-given gift - and sought to maximize its benefits.
Greece´s Misdeeds vis-à-vis the Republic of Macedonia and Macedonians
United Macedonian Diaspora
The United Macedonian Diaspora sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urging her to bring up Greece's misdeeds vis-à-vis the Republic of Macedonia and Macedonians during her upcoming Greece visit on July 17-18, 2011.
Greece must deny to pay an odious debt
Nicolas Mottas
In times of harsh neoliberal austerity and limited national sovereingty, the denial to pay an odious and illegitimate debt is a moral, political and social need.
Macedonian is not Greece´s business
Risto Stefov
Once again, the forefront for dissemination of the Greek version of history in Australia, the so-called Advisory Council, who are neither Macedonians nor have any clue about advising, have managed to show their ugly head by attacking Victor Friedman, a prominent and well respected academic scholar from University of Chicago, for speaking the truth about the Macedonian language.
Conclusions of the FYROM vs Greece case at the International Court of Justice
Australian Macedonian Advisory Council
FYROM´s claim is beyond the Court´s jurisdiction as established by Article 21, paragraph 2, of the Interim Accord, whether it is interpreted, as the FYROM originally proposed, as precluding any case which concerns - "directly or indirectly" the name issue, or whether, as the FYROM alternatively prop...
How serious is Greece about the negotiations?
Risto Stefov
On the surface it would appear that the Greeks in authority are pretty serious about the name and are hard at work "negotiating" with Macedonian authorities to find a "mutually acceptable" solution. At least that is my understanding according to an article published on January 25th, 2011 in the Macedonian online website which quotes Greece´s Prime Minister saying "I am not an optimist over the prospects for swift settlement of the name dispute with FYR Macedonia. The other side refuses to accept a name with geographical qualifier for all uses. The Greek positions and initiatives in the issue are stable and constant. We will not stop in our efforts to find a mutually acceptable solution. We have a national strategy and clearly drawn red lines," said Papandreou while presenting the country's foreign-policy objectives.
Getting to know thy Greece
Risto Stefov
One of the obstacles I was faced with in the past was convincing people that things are not right in Greece, especially when it came to human rights. Even the people who were willing to lend an ear found it difficult to believe what I had told them. How could one people be so cruel towards another in a peace loving, democratic country such as Greece? That is impossible! People in modern democratic countries don´t behave this way in this day and age? I am certain many felt that perhaps there was something wrong with me. Although no one, besides the Greeks themselves, ever told me that they didn´t believe me, I had the feeling that it was going to be a rough road to travel. Fortunately for me I didn´t have to do a lot of convincing. Greece did all that for me, first when it went out of its way to make life difficult for the Macedonians in the Republic of Macedonia by refusing to recognize them as Macedonians and their country as Macedonia and then by the way it got itself into its current economic crisis.
Falsity of Greece vs Reality of Macedonia
Risto Stefov
On many occasions we have looked at Greece from the outside in, the way outsiders and insiders of non-Greek origin perceive it. But we have yet to look at Greece from the inside, the way it sees itself. What makes Greece, Greece and Greeks, Greeks and what makes them claim that they are "pure" and "homogeneous"? In this article we will examine the conditions under which Greece became or claims to have become "pure" and "homogeneous" and what it has done and is doing to protect its claims.
Yacht Charter in Greece; Visit Mykonos and the sacred Island of Delos

Why negotiating with Greece is bad for Macedonia!
Risto Stefov
First and foremost, Macedonia should not be negotiating with Greece over its own name even if Greece was its brother and best friend! But setting that aside, what message does Macedonia give the world when it willingly enters a process to negotiate a change to its own name to please Greece, one country which amounts to less than 1% of the world´s countries and a fraction of the world population, so small that I don´t even know how to describe it!

FYROM and Greece: Preconditions for an agreement of lasting peace and good neighborly relations.
Miltiades Elia Bolaris
The damage that the Slavomacedonian expatriate community has done, comfortably sitting in their Toronto, Indiana or Melbourne suburbs, to their home country, FYROM over the years, demanding an idiotically harder and harder position against Greece is immeasurable. Skopje's body politic has for years been hijacked by the kinds of Nikola Gruevski and Todor Petrov who are implementing their criminally self defeating ultra-nationalist policies on the young nation, leading it from one blind alley to another and from one humiliating defeat to another. Lasting Peace, good neighborly relations and reconciliation are indeed needed, but it takes two to tango and they obviously cannot be achieved by people who make ludicrously unsupported claims of "genocide" or "exodus" and demand "apology" and "war reparations" for the war of the Greeks against the Turks and Bulgarians during the first and second Balkan wars of 1912 and 1913. Every nation, even the Turks, at some point or another like to pretend that they have been the victim of everyone else. The problem with Nikola Gruevski, Todor Petrov and VMRO-DPMN is that they have overstretched the net of their ultra-nationalist mythology and ethnic hatred against the Greeks just a little bit too far and they are now trapped in it!
Greece´s irresponsible neighbors and how Greek policies benefitted Bulgaria and FYROM
Miltiades Elia Bolaris
Why Skopje should not be biting the hand that feeds it. The article Richard Rahn of the CATO institute would have written his article on the Washington Times, had he chosen to stay close to the facts. It is not Greece's fault that FYROM has chosen its self destructive path to confrontation with the only country that has to date supported its third world economy through legal (investments in manufacturing, banking and telecommunications), semi-legal (Casino gambling) and borderline-legal or outright illegal (prostitution) cash infusions. And it is most definitely not the fault of the Greeks that the only flourishing sectors of Skopjan economy are the illicit ones.

Why Greece can´t have minorities!
Risto Stefov
We often speak of Greece refusing to recognize its various national minorities living in Greece but we rarely speak about why that is. Now, I think is a good time to examine the issue more closely.
Does Modern Greece deserve to exist?
Risto Stefov
Who decides if Macedonians do or do not exist? The Greeks and Bulgarians? If that is the case then it is only fair and reasonable that the Macedonians decide if Greeks and Bulgarians exist and if they deserve to have their own countries!
Ah Greece what have you done to deserve this?
Risto Stefov
During 1989 to 1993, the Greek Foreign Ministry, headed by Andonis Samaras, used a secret fund to pay Greek journalists $130 million dollars (US) to promote the "Greek-ness" of Macedonia! Although these funds were originally intended for external promotion, according to the testimony of former Prime Minister Constantinos Mitsotakis, they ended up in the pockets of Greek journalists.

The Archaic Greek Temple of Aphrodite in Thessalonike, Macedonia, Greece
Miltiades Elia Bolaris
The temple of Aphrodite in the center of Thessalonike speaks louder about the Hellenic nature of this ancient Macedonian city that bears the name of Alexander the Great's half sister Θεσσαλονίκη/Thessaloniki than any Skopjean loud screams and cries about a supposed proto-Slavic "Makedonka" Солун/Solun.

Greece and the ahem...hazardous (yeah right) way to go broke.
Jay Walker
Such irresponsibility created a situation where where 40% of the Greek workforce can retire at age 50 and receive a pension. At that point, it's a no brainer to understand that this creates a lack of taxpayers which brings a lack of revenue to the state.
Greece Greases Its Own Slide
John Atwood
The Greek debt might cause problems for Europe, but maybe not. The Greeks didn't get to their current situation by accident. They chose a path of large government and endless debt. Now they want someone else to pay the piper.

Human Rights Violations in Greece
Risto Stefov
Greece does not hesitate to demand human rights for "Greeks" in every country in the world and while it shamelessly promotes itself as "the cradle of democracy" it stomps on the rights of its minority citizens! What kind of democracy will not recognize its minorities and strip them of all their human rights? Greek democracy does! There are people in Greece today who call themselves Macedonians, Albanians, Vlachs, Turks, Roma and others who Greece adamantly claims do not exist.

First of all, these people ...

After two centuries of living a myth Greece now faces reality
Risto Stefov
When Greece was created for the first time in 1829 there were no "real Greeks". The entire region was populated mostly by Albanians, Turks, Slavs, Vlachs, Latin and a long list of other ethnicities that existed in that region at that time. The vast majority of the people living in the tiny Greek state at the time of its liberation from the Ottomans were uneducated and unfamiliar with the concepts of nationality and ethnicity. As far as they were concerned they were all Christians which distinguished them from the Muslims, their overlords. After their liberation all Christians in the Greek state, regardless of their ethnicities, were told they were Greek. This continued as Greece expanded its territory and acquired more and more people.

Uri Geller in Greece - Final Stage: Lightning and the Savant
Peter Fotis Kapnistos
Metal bending celebrity Uri Geller first became conscious of his strange ability when he was approximately five years old. He was playing in a neighbor´s yard in Tel Aviv when "a light from the sky" hit him and knocked him to the ground. Soon after that, he was having a bowl of soup — when his spoon bent and broke.
