An example of the desecration of Macedonian tombstones written in the Cyrillic text. This cross is from the village of Gabresh (Gavres) in the district of Kastoria (Kostursko).



This desecration occurred in May, 1998, in the village of Ano Loutraki (Gorno Pozharsko), in the district of Edessa (Voden). The old Macedonian cemetery at St. George's church was destroyed. Subsequently, a new Greek church dedicated to the same saint was built on the site.

The graves that were destroyed dated back to the 17th-18th century and their stones bore Cyrillic inscriptions.

The destruction of Macedonian religious centres has been ongoing since the acquisition of Aegean Macedonia by Greece in 1913. With the elimination of the old Macedonian cemeteries and churches Greece intends to remove all remaining traces of the indigenous Macedonian presence and ensure that Greece is an ethnically "homogeneous" state.

As they use to be residents and guests during Byzantine times at some part of Northern Greece.

We also welcome the ΟΥΡΑΝΙΟ ΤΟΞΟ "party" which, in the recent elections, didn't manage to have no more than 5.ooo votes (in a total of 3.500.000 Greek votes). As you can see, the Greek society in NOT homogenous - there are some 0,142857142857142857142857142857143% of Bulgars!

For your information, the stones in the picture, are exactly stones - and NOT a Cemetery. I have VISITED the place, myself, and I don't expect "photos" to reveal the "truth". The cross, was tranfered from another area, for propaganda reasons - although in THAT area, there WERE some Bulgarians living there in the past - but in an extreme low number of villages - almost the 2% among the 98% of the Greek villages.


Propaganda is a fine tool - when BixBix is not somewhere arround!

Propoganda is obviously something the Greeks are very good at eh!

Ottoman Turks have teached us too well, in the past.

To be accurate, everything rotten or even brashness some Greeks carry, come strainght from your anchestors.

That is something that everyone on this planet is informed for.

"....President Makarios's claim that the Constitution can be amended by internal action alone is without foundation. And any attempt at forcible imposition of amenments would be met by Turkish intervention: intervention which the Turkish Government is clearly prepared, and as a Gaurantor Power to be entitled, to undertake."
Daily Telegraph 27.12.1963 Editorial

"It is nonsenceto claim, as the Greeks do, that all casualties were caused by fighting between armed men of both sides. On Christmas Eve, many Turkish people were brutally attacked and murdered in their suburban homes, including the wife and three small children of the Turkish head of army medical services - allegadly by a group of forty men, many in army boots."
Guardian 31.12.1964

And when I came accross the turkish homes they were an appalling sight. Apart from the walls, they just did not exist. I doubt if a napalm bomb attack could have created more devestation. I counted 40 blackened brick and concrete "shells" that had once been homes. Each house had been deliberately fired by petrol.....In the neighbouring village of Ayios Vassilios, a mile away, I counted 16 wrecked and burned out homes, they were all Turkish. From this village more than 100 Turks had also vanished. In neither villages did I find a scrap of damage to any Greek houses."
Daily Herald 01.01.1964

"....It is thought that a family of seven Turks whi disappeared fro the village may be buried there. Their house was found burnt and grenades had been dropped through the roof."
One man had his arms still tied behind his legs in a crouching position and had been shot through the head. A stomach injury indicated that a grenade may have been thrown into his lap."
DAily Telegraph 14.01.1964

"If Turkey genuinely intended to invade Cyprus it is unlikely that she would advertise this intention by military pointless attacks of the kind reported. Their object is obviously more diplomatic than military: to force Turkey's allies to take action rather than to prepare the way for direct Turkish action on her own."
