This was well flagged and noticed, thanks for bringing it to out attention. Greek racists are relentless in their discrimination, and the EU is an useless facade that assists in this absurdity.

AMHRC/MHRMI welcome the launching of the “Nova Zora” newspaper in Greece
AMHRC/MHRMI WELCOME THE LAUNCHING OF THE “NOVA ZORA” NEWSPAPER IN GREECE
Melbourne, Australia and Toronto, Canada 7/5/2010
The Australian-Macedonian Human Rights Committee (AMHRC) and Macedonian Human Rights Movement International (MHRMI) welcome the launching of Nova Zora (New Dawn), a bilingual newspaper in Macedonian and Greek dedicated to issues concerning the Macedonian minority in Aegean Macedonia, Greece.
The first edition of the 16-page newspaper was launched yesterday and will initially be published once a month. The editorial team aspires to eventually produce a bi-monthly edition.
The newspaper’s Editor-in-Chief, Dimiti Ioannou said “Today is a historic day for the Macedonian movement and for all Greek citizens
who want a truly European and democratic Greece. Today the first mass-circulation newspaper in Greece to include articles and
commentary in the Macedonian language will begin to operate.” Many articles will be published in Greek, due to the fact that this is
the language in which Macedonians born in Greece were educated. The Greek state still refuses to allow the possibility of learning the Macedonian language within the state education system.
Nova Zora will include articles on news and current affairs in Greece and beyond; a feature interview; opinion pieces and letters to the
editor. The newspaper will also cater to its Macedonian audience with regular thematic articles on important Macedonian historical figures;
special focuses on Macedonian villages in Aegean Macedonia – Greece and a section devoted to Macedonian women. Notably there will be a regular column designed to teach the readership an understanding of the Macedonian language.
The first edition of the newspaper featured an article on the Macedonian revolutionary figure, Goce Delcev, in light of the 107th
anniversary of his death on May 4, 1903. Other articles included a report on the Macedonian speaking village of Neret/Polypotamos in the
Lerin/Florina Prefecture and news on the latest activities of the Macedonian Rainbow Party/Vinozhito.
Nova Zora will be circulated for free in villages and towns in Northern Greece with an initial circulation of 20,000 copies. The
newspaper is also available for free online at www.novazora.gr.
While the AMHRC and MHRMI welcome the exciting initiative, both organisations continue to call on the international community to demand that the Greek government recognise the Macedonian language and provide for Macedonian language broadcasts on public television and radio in accordance with well established international standards.
For all those who are interested in contributing support to the Macedonian human rights movement in Greece, please contact the AMHRC or MHRMI via the means offered below.

Spolaj Ti AMHRC
This is great newsМАКЕДОНЕЦ си кога кавал ќе ти ја распара душата,зурла ќе ти го раскине срцето,кога секое влакно од кожата ќе ти се наежи кога ќе видиш шеснаесеткрако сонце,кога до коска ќе те заболи кога ќе слушнеш ПЈРМ,кога немаш ни за леб,а полн си во душата затоа што ја сакаш МАКЕДОНИЈА. МАКЕДОНИЈА во срце те носиме.

Well done TEAM! Keep up the good work.From the village of P’pezhani, Tashko Popov, Dimitar Popov-Skenderov and Todor Trpenov were beaten and sentenced to 12 years prison. Pavle Mevchev and Atanas Popov from Vrbeni and Boreshnica joined them in early 1927, they were soon after transferred to Kozhani and executed. As they were leaving Lerin they were heard to shout "With our death, Macedonia will not be lost. Our blood will run, but other Macedonians will rise from it"

This is indeed very welcome news.
Let it be said that the uncertainty in Greece (more specifically the region of northern Greece) at the moment will be appropriately served by such a newspaper. It is a more than appropriate time for the Macedonians of Greece to question how their government has served them and more importantly to question themselves on matters pertaining to identity.
AMHRC, would it be possible to list the articles that appeared in this journal?Risto the Great

We were working on your request when Mikail made it redundant (thanks Mikail) - the google translation is not perfect, but it is decent and gives a reader of English far more than we have the time to do.
The latest reports we have are asserting that people are reading Nova Zora in "every cafe in the county of Lerin". It is off to a 'flying' start - we hope that this eventually translates in to a strengthening of the Macedonian human rights movement in Egej.
Regards,
AMHRC.
