Skopjians told to collect garbage at Greek border

[surferx]

"Greek police officers had reportedly maltreated Vardaskan citizens at Dojrani border crossing, forcing them to clean up the crossing point before they return to Vardaskan soil.

The maltreating of Vardaskan truck-drivers happened on Friday morning at Dojrani crossing point on Greek side of the border, police sources told Makfax news agency.

The four truck-drivers from Vardaska, with age 26-60, had been allowed to re-enter Vardaskan after they cleaned up the site. Greek border police gave the Vardaskans brooms, rubber gloves and plastic dumpers and forced them to clean up and collect the entire waste at the border crossing.

Macedonian citizens with initials M. K. (26), A. B. (25), O. M. (36), and M. D. (60) reported the incident to Macedonian police once they entered Macedonian soil.

This is another case of maltreatment of Macedonian citizens in Greece en-route to their homeland."

No matter how right or wrong you are about the name issue, this is pure fascism, my dear friends.

Peace

This info has to be confirmed. Do not believe what your media say.
The other day another member from FYROM said that the skopjan media reported that the movie Indiana Jones is banned in Greece, when in the first two weeks it's out ,more than 170.000 persons went to the cinemas to watch it.

Surferx why do you believe everything Makfax says? Search this forum and you can find many threads where Makfax does everything from twisting the truth to outright lying. It's by believing prima facie everything that your press says which keeps the majority of FYROM's population in the dark.

police sources told Makfax news agency.

FYROM police....on the otherside of the border? Or in Skopje?

I hope you are right and this is a made up story, because things like these don't bring any good to anybody.

This is all over the media now, not only makfax, but let's see. The media on both countries are to blame for a lot of the tensions created among common folk.

The thing is, our country and its questionable historical claims pose no real life threat to greeks and your nation, while me and my countrymen feel like jews in nazi germany when we are dealing with greek authorities.

If I were a Holocaust survivor I would be offended by this outrageous statement. Paeonian Slavs are always accusing the Greek government of human rights abuses however they consistently fail to note that FYROM's human rights' record is worse on all counts.

Regarding this alleged incident, the chances are the Paeonian Slavs in question were the ones who actually littered the area. Biased media have a habit of concealing vital information.

Well the story could have been that the drivers "Tossed out" their garbage from the window, we all know many Europeans care little for this, I know many North Americans, espesially the Canadians are fanatical about recyling..ect.. They may have been ordered to pick up the S*it and don't polute.... That may be the case... As we know many bitter Skopijans will twist any Gerkchko story to win sympathys.........


Oh yes.....

It's not uncommon for a mistruth to end up being taken up by nearly every media source in a country once it has been taken up intially by only a few. Look at how George Bush was declared president in 2000. First Fox called it unwarrentedly, then all the other channels called it.

We need verification lads only makfax has posted this "alleged" article.....

[Bardas]

Lol...did the Greek border officers use pistols to force these truckers to clean up or did they just intimidate them with frowns.

Unless it can be verified by a neutral source then we should just accept it for what it is (pardon the pun) rubbish.
