We watched Channel 47 in Toronto on
Saturday Feb.14 2009 to see you had attended the celebration
of the fiftieth Jubilee of the United Macedonians in Canada
held on February 08, 2009.
We, the Canadians of Bulgarian background from the
geographical region called Macedonia, intend to shed some
light on the subject of Macedonian nationality.
This United Macedonians came into existence 50 years ago! Why
fifty years ago and not after 1912 when the first Balkan war
ended?
There are (MPO) Macedonian Patriotic Organizations in North
America since 1927. These MPO organizations were formed in USA
and Canada with the purpose to inform the Canadian and
American governments that the Slavic population of the
geographical region is Bulgarian. We, in Canada, have the
first Macedono-Bulgarian (Bulgarians from the geographical
region called Macedonia) church (1910) on the corner of
Sackville and Dundas east in Toronto.
Until 1945, no one had heard that there is such a nation as
Macedonian. This so-called nation was invented by the
Communist movement (archival records Feb 1934 in Moscow) in
order to satisfy the Serbian aspirations in the Balkan
Peninsula. The organization, United Macedonians, was created
by the Yugoslav Legation in Canada. Until just a few years ago,
in all of the churches known as Macedonian, one could see the
portraits of Tito and Alexander the Great (called Aleksander
Macedonski or Veliki by the government of the FYR of Macedonia).
In 2005, the European community informed the government of the
FYR of Macedonia that their history is Bulgarian and their
famous “Macedonian language” is a dialect of Bulgarian. A few
months ago, the European community removed the infamous
Macedonian language from the languages of Europe.
Now with reference to the birthday of Gotze Delchev (a
Bulgarian name), one would ask how did this man, the leader of
the Macedonian (geograhical region) movement, come to be
called Delchev and not Delchevski (the suffix –ski is used by
the government in the FYR of Macedonia)? On his last visit to
Toronto, the former President of the FYR of Macedonia went to
place flowers on the grave of his grandfather (grave number J
134). In the cemetery which is located at the intersection of
St Clair East and Birchmount, the young man accompanying the
former president had asked: “Mr. President, how come your
grandfather is TRAIKOFF (Bulgarian) and you are Traikovski?
Since 1944, when the territory Vardar Macedonia was
incorporated into Yugoslavia, nowhere did that government
provide information as to the name of the organization to
which Gotze Delchev (not Delchevski) belonged or to the
purpose of this organization. This organization was organized
in 1893 in the city of SALONICA (to-day in Greece). Its name
was ‘Bulgarian-Macedonian Adrianopole Revolutionary Committee’.
The purpose of this committee was to organize the Bulgarians
living in Macedonia and Thrace to ask the Ottoman Empire to
grant Autonomy to this region. The by-laws of the organization
stated that only Bulgarians could belong to the organization
and that those Bulgarians must be members of the Bulgarian
Exarchate churches of the Ottoman Empire.
We conclude with some examples of happenings inside the FYR of
Macedonia to-day. We refer to articles which appeared in www.utrinski.com.mk
dated fourth and sixth of February 2009. In the first article,
written by Vladimir Milcin chairperson of WWW. SOROS.org.Mk,
Mr Milcin asked the government of the FYR of Macedonia how
long, they would be ‘eating the poisonous apples of the
communist movement’. Mr. Milcin states that in the past when
foreigners travelled through the geographical territory called
Macedonia and asked the people who they were, the people
always answered that they were Bulgarians. In the second
article, written by the editor of the paper Utrinski, Mr.
Rauzov writes that the propaganda of the Republic states that
the modern “Macedonians” are descendants of the ancient
Macedonians. This Ancient Macedonism propaganda of the
government is worse than mumps since there is a cure for
mumps. He goes on and states, that mumps, the disease, can be
treated with medicine but the disease ‘Ancient Macedonism’ can
only be cured by death.
We hope that, we have shed some light on how the communist
movement created a political unit such as Macedonia and
attempted to turn it into a new nationality. |
