Many have suffered from those policies, some more than others.

Tsipras was born 28 July 1974 in Athens. His mother's family has its roots in a village near Babaeski in an area of Eastern Thrace which was transferred from Turkey to Greece during the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey. His father, Pavlos, was from Epirus and was a contractor of big public works.

Good question regarding my motivation! I guess, I'd like to show to any Greek (and Macedonian) readers of the forum that one can have a Greek decent while not being a dick to Macedonians (both inside and outside Greece).
Btw, I served with a Macedonian friend in the Greek army and learned a few words in Makethonika (aka Ntopia) like spolaiti.Regards,

I heard an eminent Albanian historian from Macedonia once state that Tsipras mother is from a Macedonian speaking village. Now I note wiki states the Turkish name of the village was: Pravishte
Doesn't sound Turkish to me
