Greek Ku Klux Klan terrorized the Bulgarian minority in Aegean Macedonia

The following text was translated using Google..... Its not that accurate I suppose, but it might give us an idea of what the text is talking about




Bulgaren do not dare to call it their relatives in Varna, because they have fear. The Bulgaren in AEG ice Macedonia is more already a myth than reality for 80 years. After Bulgaria the second Balkans war loses proves over 1 million Bulgaren in the new Greek Teritorium. Until 1923 Greece recognizes offiziel the Bulgarian minority on, but this position changes to a set of emigration agreements between Greece and BG. According to those nearly 500,000 Bulgaren Greece leave and resettle in BG. For the Greek government this minority does not exist thereafter any longer, but the ethnical bulgarsiche Presenz remains. Previous year had one the idea to AEG ice - Macedonia to drive around a film over the Bulgaren to turn there. One accepted that one does not receive Genaehmigung of the Greek authorities for it, there it the Bulgarian minority does not recognize there and has one the film without permit-eats in such a way filmed. That passed this year in the summer end. This could become quite dangerous, if the Greek authorities had seized us. Still as we the border with Svilengrad passed and afterwards through completely north Greece could inform ourselves we with many people on Bulgarian. They spoke and understood it, although it was not always their native language. They had grown up in a Bulgarian ethnical Umgaebung. Unfortunately what is to be seen Macedonia today in AEG ice, is not at all merry. The Bulgaren is issued for more than 90 years after 1912 of systematic extermination and total assimilation on the part of the Greeks there. The Bulgarian language was forbidden and the Ergaebnisse is today to be seen. Bulgarian speak the old generation - grannies and Grandpas - in a outstanding dialect form, freely of Turzismen and brightisms - as at present the Bulgarian Wiedergeburt one spoke. Their children understand Bulgarian, speak it however very heavily. The jungsten does not understand it nearly. That if the Bulgarian state does not undertake somewhat it will be meant this, in 20 years no more Bulgaren in AEG ice Macedonia. Still however the chance exists the fact that the situation changes, because in the west of the Aegei Macedonia there are large villages, where massive Bulgarian is spoken. There the situation is different than in Bulgaria. The villages do not depopulate themselves there. Completely on the contrary. Sometimes in a village with 2000 inhabitants one can see more children, than in a small Bulgarian city. From the fact hope results that a Wiedergeburt of the Bulgarentums would be possible. But that would be possible only with the assistance of the Bulgarian state, because the native Bulgaren has an organically innate fear of the Greek authorities, the Greeks themselves and the open and secret terror, which Greece exercises over her. Today work still, although hides, andartische gangs, which similarly like their forerunners, who worked before the Balkans wars and at present the Second World War, everyone the Bulgare calls itself terrorizes. They are a secret society of types of the Ku-Klux-Klan, over which everyone will answer them that it never over so which heard. The proof that they exist, are the much tough leagues labels, which one sees in completely AEG ice Macedonia - to “death the Bulgaren”, “death the Slawen”, “the Bulgaren raus from Macedonia”, “the foreigners raus from Macedonia”. And naturally nearly at each post - “Macedonia is Greek”. For Greece their northern Teritorien until today is not yet purely Greek, like that as it it wants. However the fact that there is a special Ministry for Macedonia and Thrakien, with seat in Thessaloniki, shows clearly that the Greek governments regard after 1912 to today these areas still as strange and okkupiert. Young people addition that one scoffs and laughs at them, if they speak on Bulgarian. In AEG ice Macedonia it is to be been embarrassingly Bulgare. There one is insulted with Bulgare. In each Greek dictionary that the word Bulgare a ungezaehmten, vulgaeren, stupid and cultureless humans are located meant. That shows clearly, what the Greeks think over us. In the historical books the fight for Macedonia is described, which is endangered by a Bulgariesierung on the part of predatory Bulgarian Komitas with their gangs. One of the fuerchterlisten things, which did the Greeks, are in the village Zagorichani (the homeland village of Dimiter Blagoev - the founder of the Bulgarian communist party). There today 150 Bulgaren and 150 immigrated Greeks live. In the church yard is located today the monument of the captain of the Greek gang, which 1906 the village besieged and 176 women, children and Greise massakriert. That happens in March, two days after the men the village had left over in the strange work to search. They were waiting the fact that the men away are and then attacked it it. The Bulgarian traditions were very strong in this village. Part the inhabitant barrikadieren themselves in the church and try to defend. The church is ignited and the people in it to burn alive. In the church we filmed also the traces of the projectiles around the windows. The tragic at the thing is that the Greeks built a monument of this blood Auger. That is the largest massacre of defenseless ones in newest Bulgarian history. It was inspired by the Greek national hero the Mitropoliten Germanos Karavangelis. Nearly in each Greek large city a monument of the man stands, for that the Slogan “Vulgaros nami mini!” (only one Bulgare is not to remain) invented. Each Bulgarian village has at least a monument of kinds of and, which burned it. We became acquainted with people, which used in Varna had, but from fear that one does not accuse her of in a connection to Bulgaria, it could not do her their relatives. They did not know times whether it alive are. One of the frappantesten cases was with the family Veljaschkovi from the village Vrbeni. 1941 are created there a Bulgarian local council. 1944, when the German and Bulgarian armies withdraw themselves, the Greeks come and exekutieren in the village center the 12 members of the local council. Before the eyes of their neighbours. We met the daughter of one the Exekutierten - Zorka Veljaschkova, which experienced from us that its first Kousin - Borislav Pandov, which is born 1918, is healthy and lives in Varna. And in the same day, where we were there, they spoke for the first time with one another at the telephone. The tragedy of the Bulgaren is large there. North of Thessaloniki there are no old cemeteries. As if humans only after 1940 establish themselves there. That is however not normal. For the Greeks, those live apply it there, because they did not really live there, and in reality there were no Greeks north of Thessaloniki until 1912. And the villages, which populate it now were before them from Bulgaren populated. That can be proven however on no way, because after an idea of the Greek orthodox church, supported of the Greek state, all old cemeteries are, those at a Bulgarian Presenz remind destroyed. The destruction is also today continued. On so a cemetery in the village Ano Vrondu (Gorno Brodi) is built for the moment a stadium and a sport complex, but in the village hardly are 20 children. Around the building site lie broken Saerge, crosses and stone boards. Broken - there they labels on Bulgarian had. The labels at the water wells are also deleted. Similarly also the situation of the old Bulgarian church is in the city Kilkis (Kukusch), which is completely destroyed 1913 by the Greeks. Over 1000 innocent inhabitants are killed. As only it got over the church at the hill over the city. At the entrance it gave a large label on white marble, which is completely deleted. The main entrance is painted completely in white and the icon, those over it stood is immured. In the church is an old icon of Kirilius and Methodius, which are perforated by a ball however. The labels on the icon are on Greek. The interesting is that Methodius an empty, white web in the hand holds. The tradition requires that the Pepierrolle contains the alphabet, but this was probably deleted. Everywhere the names of the holy ones with darker colors are re-painted over and whereupon are again-written on Greek. We put out that the holy ones hold at the top of the Saeulen labels on Bulgarian in the hands. The church could prove an unexpected monument of the Bulgarian cultural heritage outside of the borders. As we in Edessa (Voden) were, spoke we with two older women in the quarter “Varoscha”. For the moment as two people at us caught they went past at Greek to speak. We asked it why, but they did not hear on to the two past were. Then they explained - “Huert too young, this were Greeks. We cannot speak Bulgarian before them.” In the village nest RAM, which carries today the Greek name Nestorion and to feet of the mountain Epirus is - 200 km south that Macedonian - Greek border - and a purely Bulgarian village with 2000 inhabitants is, we spoke with a woman, whose father explained us that he is called Stojan. She asked us why jades times if it at the village square on Bulgarian speaks a half hour after the police it at home visited and whether it was a crime on its native language to speak. They love Bulgaria on a way, which we cannot at all introduce ourselves. Because we are used to us with the liberty and appear them somewhat natural, but for it it is something that they lost for a long time. They do not feel free, but they will not leave this place, because is there their homeland. They call each other with Bulgarian names. Thus they call also the villages. In Greece the Bulgarian names are forbidden. The chairman of the combination “Bulgarian human rights”, which is called on Greek Nikos Stoidis, led a process against Greece that he wants to be called Nikolai Stojanov. The process in Strasbourg was won by it, but the Greek state did not change its names. Aegei Macedonia has to today special statute in the Greek state. Unoffiziel are there separate the citizens into two categories. For a Bulgaren there it is to be found very heavily work. Most operate agriculture. The Greeks are not officials and administration there, hold the business in the cities and have a good opinion over foreigners. VMRO is the only organization in Bulgaria, itself on any way endeavors the Bulgarentum there to receive. For years one supports two organizations - “Nebesna Daga” (Himmli rainbow), with seat in Larissa (Lerin) and the other one - “Blgarski Choveshki Prava” (Bulgarian human rights), with seat in Edessa (Voden). Unfortunately is what is not made at all what must be made on the whole Teritorium by AEG ice Macedonia, since for the goal resources of the state are not referred. If the Bulgarian government does not raise an official position there for the protection of the Bulgaren, everything else will in vain be.
