Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis will present Wednesday the book "The Macedonian issue and Bulgaria - Confidential documents1950-1967".
The book is a joint publication of the Society for Macedonian Studies and the Bulgarian State Archives, Makfax news agency said.
The presentation will take place at the Athens War Museum.
Meanwhile, the party of Macedonian minority in Greece, Rainbow, unearthed a classified document of the Greek national security service released in 1982. The document clearly shows Greece's methods to deliberately destroy the Macedonian identity.
In accordance with the plan, released on 16 February 1982 by the then secret service chief Dimitris Kapelaris, Athens set up a team "Plot against Macedonia" to be sent to Greek part of Macedonia and infiltrate all public services.
The secret plan was made at time when large number of Macedonians in Greece were placed under surveillance, jailed, beaten and laid off because they identified themselves as Macedonians without knowing that they were spied on.
"The Skopians' activities for the autonomy of Macedonia may be efficiently confronted mainly by wiping out the use of the idiom, in the regions near the borders. This element by itself would be enough to exclude any thoughts of repatriation of the political refugees who now reside in Yugoslavia and who have been brought up with the "Macedonian idea", the "Macedonian language and culture" and activities taken for detaching Greek territories, during the period 1946-1949."
The document calls for creation of a state institution with specially trained to the "Plot against Macedonia" subject, personnel. This institution will engage itself only with this subject, with the supervision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and will collaborate closely, but in secret, with the security authorities and all the public services.
"In the public services and especially in the educational institutions the employees who will be in service have to be ignorant of the local idiom."
"Establishment of Cultural Association, like "ARISTOTELIS" in Florina and economic help to them, for the realization of events and the publishing of books, newspapers, magazines, etc. and afterwards these will be sent to the Diaspora abroad who has origins from the regions of the senders. This will boost their national sentiment and they will be protected from the anti-Hellenic propaganda that is been practiced by Slavmacedonians organizations."
The plan also foresees insertion of various obstacles such as non-recognition of diplomas, postponement of military service for the Greek students who wish to study in Skopje.
"Marking in each village of persons who, due to their kin bounds and their personality, influence a large circle of co-villagers and with any means get close to them and use them properly so they will behave as the fighters of the use of the idiom in their circle."
"Recruitment in the armed forces, in police, in the public services with employees with origins from Florina region, by exception, and their obligatory location in other areas of the Country. The encouragement, by the leadership of the Army, of meetings and marriages of Army officers, who are on duty there and have origins abroad, with women that speak the idiom." /end/
