According to an announcement made by AMAC, the UMD is a nationalist, US based lobby group with its head office in Washington, D.C. The UMD is well known for their support of territorial claims by the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia against Greece and Bulgaria.

Quote:

The announcement continues: “AMAC fails to see how the nationalistic formulations of a lobby group such as the UMD and offensive, racist terminology could form part of an anthropological research project which purports to examine how people maintain links with a homeland which represents an important part of their family background, identity or cultural heritage.

Are these modern greeks joking about UMD being nationalist and racist? or am I just not getting their jokes?

You guys can post responses to that article.

I dont understand what you mean by “inappropriate terminology”. They just want to say rightfully exactly where they came from – Aegean Macedonia. Which was a part of macedonia before greece had taken it in 1913. Also its called solun not Thessaloniki.

cheers.

"Thought and intelligent discussion" for what purpose???

Of course part of why I write on forums is to offer an alternative view in order to shape opinion. Why else would I argue against anti-Macedonian ideological views? One of the key reasons this forum even exists is to pursue the Macedonian cause and to convince people that it is just.

An example of UMD trying to use Greek criticism to 'prove' they are somehow advancing our cause.

Indeed it does. Meto, among other things, seems to suffer from short-term memory loss, or perhaps his action in ignorance are more deliberate.

Q. Since the last field trip to Macedonia and Turkey what has the UMD done? Check their website for details ..

- UMD Educates U.S. Congress on Macedonian Minority in Greece

Joke? Educate congress? Could NASA be next?

We get the picture, now start delving deeper into the situation rather than professing some greater than thou, superficial understanding of the problem.

haha.

Just like the bullshit lines you have been trying to spin since you started posting here that Greece has crippling economic power over the Macedonian Republic (in the tradition of UMD - haha). That is nearly a 1000 posts by you about total garbage and in how many months ? What a waste of everyone's time you have proven to be. You must be working for the Greek cause if you have spent nearly all your time here (1000 posts) making a bullshit case that the Greeks have too much economic power over us.

My contributions have been for the most part historical.
