    What logic?

    Former Yugoslavian Republic of Serbia
    Former Yugoslavian Republic of Croatia
    Former Ottoman Republic of Greece
    Former Ottoman Republic of Bulgaria
    Former British Republic of India
    Former British Republic of America
    Former Soviet Republic of Ukraine

    If the use of the title FYROM does not reflect some historical conglomeration, what does it reflect?

    This conglomeration does not define who we are.

    Names are used to distinguish one from another. There is no logic in altering a name to include anything else, as it would effectively be recognized and considered as something other.

    Macedonia is Macedonia.

    The title FYROM is a corruption to define us as something other than what we are.

    What does the name FYROM define?

        The problem is that Macedonia insists on being called Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Over 20 years and they have done nothing about it. Shameful. And the DPmNE ass boys still think they are the only patriots.

          AMHRC Calls for Responsible Citizenship in Macedonia

          AMHRC Calls for Responsible Citizenship in Macedonia

          Melbourne 14/4/2016 - The Australian Macedonian Human Rights Committee (AMHRC) cannot regard as ethical the decision by the President of the Republic of Macedonia to amnesty all politicians before the special prosecution team, charged with investigating corruption, has even completed its investigations.

          Citizens of the Republic of Macedonia have rightly begun protesting against the decision in substantial numbers. There have been some manifestations of unnecessary violence from both Macedonian police and protestors. The AMHRC unequivocally condemns all of those involved.

          The democratic legitimacy crisis which has gripped Macedonia for more than 12 months now has revealed that both of the major political parties, the governing VMRO-DPMNE and the main opposition SDSM, cannot at present be viewed as servants of democracy. The same applies to DUI a minor party which regularly participates in governing coalitions. Therefore it is no surprise that the current situation in Macedonia is tense and volatile.

          The AMHRC calls on responsible citizens to be both vigorously active and circumspect. We hope that their efforts will succeed in developing a new, credible and viable democratic government, which will eventually lead Macedonia out of the current destructive stalemate.

                    АМКЧП ПОВИКУВА НА ОДГОВОРНО ГРАЃАНСКО ОДНЕСУВАЊЕ ВО МАКЕДОНИЈА

                    Мелбурн 14 Април 2016г.

                    Австралиско-Македонскиот Комитет за Човекови Права (АМКЧП) не може да ја смета како етичка одлуката на председателот на Република Македонија со која ги помилува сите политичари и функционери пред Специјалното Јавно Обвинетелство да ги заврши сите неопходни истражни постапки.

                    Голем број граѓани на Република Македонија со право излегуваат да протестираат против оваа одлука. Меѓутоа досега имало неколку случаи на употреба на непотребно насислтво од страна на Македонската полиција и демонстрантите. АМКЧП недвосмислено ги осудува сите тие полицајци и демонстранти кои се инволвирани во овие насилствени инциденти.

                    Кризата на демократски легитимитет која веќе ја тресе Македонија повеќе од 12 месеци докажала дека двете главни политички партии, владеачката ВМРО-ДПМНЕ и главната опозициска партија, СДСМ, неможаат да се сметаат дека и служат на демократијата во земјата. Истото важи и за ДУИ. Поради тоа никако не сме изненадени дека сегашната ситуација е толку напната и нестабилна.

                    АМКЧП ги повикува сите одговорни граѓани истовремено да се однесуваат енергично, но и претпазливо. Ние најискрено се надеваме дека нивните напори ќе резултираат со доаѓањето на власт на нова, доверлива, издржлива и демократска влада која евентуално ќе успее да ја извади земјата од сегашниот погубен ќор-сокак во кој што се наоѓа.

                          Luke, chapter 22.

                          52, Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
                          53, When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
                          54, THEN took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest’s house. And Peter followed afar off.
                          55, And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
                          56, But a curtain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
                          57, And he denied him, saying Woman, I know him not.
                          58, And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
                          59, And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.
                          60, And Peter said, Man I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
                          61, And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

                              Thanks AMHRC, great advice and initiative as always when it comes to these matters.
                              In the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.
