His Vlach great-great-grandfather from Neveska, Ioannis Boutaris, was one of the Founders of Nea Filiki Etaireia - a Greek revolutionary organization founded in 1867 under the name Национален комитет (Εθνική Επιτροπή). The organization was founded in Pisoderi (a Vlach village), located 17 km west of Lerin/Florina.
The leading founders of this organization were all Vlachophones: Anastasios Piheon from Ohrid, Nikolaos Filipidis from Malovishte, Ioannis Argiropoulos (born in Bogatsko, village near Kostur), I. Boutaris, etc.
Many members of this organization were Macedonians as well, such as Dame Kusev from Prilep and others from the same town.
