    What on earth is the 'Delchev' speech supposed to mean?
    In the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.

      UMD Board Member Stojan Nikolov provided the award criteria on Macedonian Media Monitor but failed to explain exactly how Harper met their own criteria for the Goce Delcev Award. His response was to watch the video. The video by the way provides no information in relation to how Harper met the UMD criteria for their Goce Delcev Award.

      Nikolov also advised that I ask my associates in Canada to learn as to why Harper deserved the Award. After some investigation, I learn't that none of my contacts knew why Harper would be awarded with such an award or how Harper met the UMD's criteria for that award. After relaying this information back to Nikolov told me not to waste my time asking my associates in Canada.

        Harper has done many good things for the Macedonians living in Canada, maybe that is the basis for this award? He did a speech for a new crkva that opened in Markham. We have had Macedonian represent us in the parliament as MP's. Lui Temelkovski from Brajcino, Resensko,

        "Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise today to ask the government to recognize the Republic of Macedonia under its constitutional name, which is the Republic of Macedonia and no other.”

        - MP Lui Temelkovski, Oak Ridges Markham, introducing Private Member Bill C-443 An Act to recognize the Republic of Macedonia, in Canada’s federal parliament, May 6, 2007

          But what did Harper actually say when he attended the UMD conference?

          "Holding my breath for the revolution."

            Risto i found this exerpt of his speech at the UMD conference.
            Mr. Harper did not fail to recognize the significance of the occasion, as highlighted in an excerpt from his speech: Is this what you were asking for

            "For half a century, this Organization has worked to enrich the lives of Canadians of Macedonian descent, uniting your community and keeping alive your proud heritage and traditions. So it is with great pleasure that I offer my congratulations on the occasion of this Organization’s 50th anniversary. Since the early 19th century, Canada has been the home to a vibrant Macedonian Diaspora. Early immigrants left all they knew behind in search of a better life for their children and found both opportunity and prosperity on our shores. And Canada, in turn, has been enriched by the contributions of Macedonian Canadians. As devoted family- and community-conscious neighbours, as enthusiastic participants in the democratic process, as hardworking entrepreneurs, dedicated and accomplished professionals, each and every day, Macedonian Canadians are helping to build a stronger, better country for all of us. Not to mention padding out the front lines of a few of NHL teams in the process! But seriously, ladies and gentlemen, the same values that guide community members here in Canada are also inspiring your friends and loved ones living in Macedonia. Since Macedonia declared its independence in 1991, the country has made great strides in democratic and economic progress. And although there have been, and will yet be, challenges, along the way, Macedonia is already proving itself an important member of the European family. I know that you will all keep a close watch, all of you, on developments in Macedonia, just as you continue to contribute each and every day to building a stronger Canada. One of our great strengths as Canadians is that we learn from our history; we are not enslaved by it. We put old arguments behind us and focus on the challenges and opportunities that lie before us. And I know Macedonian-Canadians, through their hard work and commitment to community, will always be at the forefront of the effort to move this country forward."

              Oh, the UMD has been around for half a century now?
              Perhaps it was a speech about somebody else.

                    This is not UMD, its the United Macedonians of Canada, a completely separate organisation.

                        No, let's not do that, instead, let's give everybody that dares to call us by our real name an honourary award, because we know that common courtesy and respect is too much to ask for us poor and humble Macedonians. For the record, good on Harper, an official thanks should be sufficient rather than trying to cram our heads up his ass for displaying some decency.

                          Like you have stated UMD is neither an official representative of the Macedonian State, Nation or the Diaspora. So if you put it in context, what is wrong for a Macedonian Diaspora group awarding someone that played a key role in the recognition of our name by a major country in the world?

                          If the State gave him this award I would agree, but it did not, nema nikakvo ponizuvane ovde.

                          All this does is create further bridges and more allies for our cause.

                          Unfortunately you cannot see this.

                              Good question. Did he actually attend? No. UMD led people to believe he would attend even though they knew that he wasn't coming.

                              Another good question, I am sure volk and xrvol can help here. Has UMD been around for 50 years?
