Macedonian Abecedar re-published in Greece after 81 years





Skopje /03/10/ 14:22

The Macedonian-language primer entitled Abecedar, which was published in Athens in 1925 as a result of recognition of Macedonian ethnic minority after the World War I, was re-published in Greece.

The re-publication of the Abecedar, which actually never reached the children of the Macedonian national minority in Greece, was wrapped up recently in Thessaloniki, Skopje's Dnevnik daily said.

The promotion of Abecedar will take place soon in Athens as well as in Thessaloniki and other cities with Macedonian population.

Athanasios Parisis, head of Greek Committee at the European Bureau for Lesser Used Languages (EBLUL), told Dnevnik daily that re-publication of Abecedar is a living proof on Greece's failure to deny the existence of Macedonians.

The publication of the Abecedar was supported by the European and the Greek Bureau on Lesser Used Languages, including the Rainbow party funded by Macedonians in Greece, a member of the European Free Alliance.

The Abecedar, featuring the letters of the Macedonian language spoken in the Aegean part of Macedonia, was printed in Latin alphabet as Greek authorities wanted to make a distinction between the Macedonian, Serbian and Bulgarian language.

In 1920 the League of Nations initiated the signing of treaties relating to the protection of the minorities in a number of European countries, which specified the obligations of the states with regard to providing such minorities with civil and political equality. On August 10, 1920 such a treaty for the protection of the non-Greek ethnic minorities in Greece was signed between the Great Powers and Greece; it was named the Treaty of Sevres. The Treaty of Sevres guaranteed that minorities in Greece free use of their mother tongue in their personal and official relations. /end/

This parisis guy is a member of rainbow. Of course in the article, he has a neutral title, as head of Greek Committee at the European Bureau for Lesser Used Languages (EBLUL).

this part was obviously the most sinical lie in the article:

"The Macedonian-language primer entitled Abecedar, which was published in Athens in 1925 as a result of recognition of Macedonian ethnic minority after the World War I, was re-published in Greece."

was it a macedonist publication or just a bulgarian one?

In IMXA told me that was a failed try of the gov in order to show in League of Nation that the Slavphone (Bulgars or Slavmecedonians) are not Bulgar. That's why they printed in Latin alphabete.But the Greek Slavphones considered that as insult in theirs heritage. The main aim was the anti-bulgarism of the Slavs.

The Abecedar was a Boulgarian achivement in 1925.
this is an extract from a Boulgarian's point of view about the Abecedar:
6. Η Ελλάδα το 1924 ανεγνώρισε επίσημα την ύπαρξη Βουλγαρικής εθνότητας στην Βόρεια Ελλάδα (Πρωτόκολλο Πολίτη-Κάλφωφ) και εξέδωσε Βουλγαρικό σχολικό αλφαβητάριο γνωστό ως ΑΜΠΕΣΕΝΤΑΡ. Λόγω της Σερβικής αντιδράσεως ανακάλεσε την συμφωνία και ακύρωσε τις υποχρεώσεις.Σήμερα υποχρεούται να συμμορφωθή με τους κανόνες του διεθνούς δικαίου , να αναγνωρίσει οριστικά την ύπαρξη Βουλγαρικής εθνότητας στο Ελληνικό έδαφος και να εισάγει την διδασκαλία της Βουλγαρικής γλώσσας στα ελληνικά σχολεία..
Been part of a civilised world we need to "play ball" even with the Delusional!!!!!. Our Slavophone Makedones will trhow it straight in to the rubish bin as soon as they see it, they consider it an insult because it promotes links with the Skopianous it helps idividuals like The Vinoziti founders and Skopjia propaganda. I'm glad to see it published and I would prefer if it was paid by Greek taxpayer's money too. After a couble of years in circulation and sales of a couple of dozen copies we will have yet an other hard fact that no minority like they are dreaming exist in Greece.

Sounds to me like a Serb initiative
