That's not a fair characterization. Mind you France and many other countries have similar policies with Greece. How the hell can the Macedonians be a minority in Greece. Can the Spartans be a minority? How about the Arcadians? The Cretans? The Thessalians? ![]() There is a Slavic speaking group (whose language is CLOSELY affiliated to Bulgarian) in the region of Florina. Yet if you ask, the VAST MAJORITY, considers themselves to be Greeks. Either way, Greece does recognize it's minorites. Its members are free to declare their ethnic origin (Turkish, Pomak or Roma), speak their languages, exercise their religion and observe their particular customs and traditions. What is not acceptable to the Greek state is the attempts to establish a single ethnic identity for the entire Muslim minority in Thrace to subsume Pomak and Roma persons under a Turkish identity. In Thrace, 215 minority primary schools teach in both Greek and Turkish, with more than 400 Muslim teachers. There are also two minority Junior and Senior High Schools and two Theological Schools. Further efforts are being made to help Muslims to improve their Greek language skills through the adoption of educational programmes, such as the supplementary teaching programme and the educational programme for Muslim children, worth 6.5 million in total. Moreover, it is of particular importance that, as of the 2006-2007 school year, optional Turkish Language courses have been made available in public schools. Affirmative action measures have also been taken with a view to facilitating the admission of children of the minority into universities and technical colleges, such as a 0.5% quota on the total number of admissions.This last measure is also coupled with an exemption from the mandatory base grade of 50% in each subject of the university entrance exams. http://www2.mfa.gr/www.mfa.gr/en-US/...+OF+THRACE.htm

BUT THERE IS NO MINORITY OF YOUR FYROMIAN PEOPLE IN HERE We have not recognized you as true makedonians by the way so we will never accept your <<Makedonian>>(FYROMIAN) minority According to our history MAKEDONIA WAS A GREEK KINGDOM LIKE SPARTA AND ATHENS and not a slavic state like you You are bulgarian offsprings that live in a small land of Ancient Makedonia and you are not makedonians for us ------------------------------------------------------------------ You are the one that begged and cried to George Bush and to other nations for calling yourself as Republic of Makedonia (without the FY) while in 1992 agreement you agreed that you will only use the full name FYROM (FORMER YUGOSLAVIC republic of Makedonia and not just Republic of Makedonia)
