The Little Book of BIG Greek Lies

There is no ethnic Macedonian originating from Greece today who doesn’t know what “Greece” and “Hellenism” means to the Macedonian people. Macedonians know exactly how Greece was created and how Greeks were made out of Macedonians. One must look no further than their own village or family to see the process of “Hellenization” at work.

Back in Greece I grew up with children whose relatives were Macedonians, today these same children as grown adults swear they are Greeks related to the “ancient Greeks”.

Macedonians know exactly how Greece and Greeks were created and have no problem with that. The problem is while “Greeks” are created out of Macedonians, the Macedonians themselves are being robbed of their heritage and identity. The Greeks see no problem with Macedonians volunteering or being forced to accept an artificially imposed identity but will not accept the fact that Macedonians exist. These are some of the conditions under which Macedonians have to live within Greece.

The series of articles published on the website www.maknews.com called “From The Little Book of BIG Greek Lies” began as a joke. Inspired by Dedo Kire they were designed to bring humour to the tragic Macedonian condition.

The real surprise however, was the vast amount of attention the articles received, not just from Macedonians, but also from Greeks who saw the articles not as humourous but as “a horrible thing to do” not because they were not true but because they were “airing Greek dirty laundry” in public. This series of articles has generated more feedback than all my articles put together. I received e-mails with criticisms that ranged from me being called “a dirty liar” to being threatened with bodily harm.
