Was the Macedonian name taboo in Greece prior to the 1980s?

The Ministry was named Macedonia in 1912 after the Greek annexation of the region and was renamed to Northern Greece in the 1920s, the name wasn't changed again until 1988 when the ministry was renamed to Macedonia & Thrace. That's a pretty long period where administritvely the region was officialy known only as Northern Greece. I don't think that means nothing at all, that seems like a pretty big point.I know of two tragic histories in the world- that of Ireland, and that of Macedonia. Both of them have been deprived and tormented.

I wouldn't know where to start with your attempt to prove whatever point you are trying to make.Last edited by Bill77; 04-19-2018, 06:48 PM.http://www.macedoniantruth.org/forum/showthread.php?p=120873#post120873

Either way your comments aren't relevant to this thread, we're discussing the period between 1912 and 1988, medieval history isn't necessary here.I know of two tragic histories in the world- that of Ireland, and that of Macedonia. Both of them have been deprived and tormented.

Originally posted by Liberator of Makedonija View PostI don't think it means nothing at all, it seems a pretty big deal that the administritive authority whould change the name of an entire region of a country, especially a large and newly-acquired one.

There are thousands of activities out there, including public organizations, professional societies etc. Macedonia was always officially known as Macedonia, that's why the name appears in hundreds or thousands of official bodies of the above.
If the Army, or Police or IRS or Church or educational system or electrical system or lawyer association or technical chamber or football or textile association or anything have a regional unit/division of Macedonia, or a wider of Northern Greece or smaller ones (e.g. Central Macedonia) or even smaller (e.g. Thessaloniki, Kozani and Florina) it is just a matter of luck, or depends on practical matters and is not an issue of avoidance or taboo.

How could the region officialy be known as Macedonia when the administration responsible for the region didn't even call it it thatI know of two tragic histories in the world- that of Ireland, and that of Macedonia. Both of them have been deprived and tormented.
