Athens sent multiple Trojan horses to Zaev in last 24 hrs, he accepted them all | MINA Report
Athens has broken of the alleged agreements they made during the last round of meetings in New York between Dimitrov Nimetz and Kotzias.
The name Zaev has agreed to is Republic of Northern Macedonia,
with nationality ‘of the Republic of Northern Macedonia’.
Greece last night sent additional two requirements, outside of the New York agreement. The language at the UN listed as Macedonian to be replaced by “Makedonski” without translation.
And the second trojan horse disguised as a request was there would be
no invitation to NATO or the EU until Macedonia changes its constitution. The third option is to delay the negotiations for few months, and according to our source in the SDS,
this looks the most realistic option despite Zaev’s desire to accept everything.
Now, Athens is in no hurry and knows very well that Zaev has a noose around his neck by his handlers in Washington and London. He was brought to power to change the name, and Athens being the expert negotiators they are will take full advantage of the fact the are vastly superior to the other side when it comes to diplomacy and tactics, in addition all the pressure is on Zaev to deliver.
As Frckovski admitted in a recent interview, Zaev’s problem is his claims that Macedonia would get an invitation to join NATO in June.
Greece has now made it clear this will not happen until we change our constitution and make the Athens chosen name ‘erga omnes’.
Serbian daily close to Zaev reports negotiations have failed | MINA Report
Serbian daily Kurir, whose owner Aleksandar Rodic has deep ties with Soros and is a close friend of Zaev has just reported that the negotiations between Skopje and Athens have failed after the Greek side insisted on complete removal of the name Macedonia, thus reneging on all agreements that were made in New York.
According to Kurir, despite serious efforts by Zaev and Dimitrov to accept literally anything from the Greek side, Athens abused the weakness of the Macedonian negotiating side by making more and more demands.
There is likely some meat to this report, considering the close relationship between Zaev and Rodic, however whatever the case might be we’ll find out in the next 24 hours, if not sooner.
Macedonia’s Government responds to Serbian “Kurir” reports that the name talks have failed
The government does not comment on unconfirmed sources, Government Spokesman Mile Bosnjakovski told “Plusinfo” regarding the information of Serbian “Kurir”, told that the name negotiations have failed.
Macedonia and Greece failed to reach a common solution to the name dispute so negotiations have failed, Serbian “Kurir” wrote on Friday.
The news portal wrote that the Greek side demanded asked to completely erase the term “Macedonia” from the final solution, which is why there is no compromise at this point.
Legal battle kicks off – Macedonia Timeless: People are appealing UN for protection of the name “Macedonia
WE THE MACEDONIANS,
UNABLE AND UNWILLING TO BEAR ANY LONGER, THE BURDEN OF INJUSTICE AND THE GROWING AND UNPRECEDENTED PRESSURE INFLICTED UPON US BY THE VERY NATION STATES AND INTERNATIONAL AND REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT PRETEND TO BE THE GATEKEEPERS OF HUMAN RIGHTS,
APPEAL TO THE PEOPLES AND THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD FOR YOUR SYMPATHY AND SUPPORT.
WE WISH TO FIRST AND FOREMOST INFORM YOU:
THAT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF ONGOING “NEGOTIATIONS” ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL NAME OF OUR COUNTRY, WHICH BEGAN IN 1993 UNDER THE FRAMEWORK OF THE UNITED NATIONS, AND WHICH ARE IN BREACH OF THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER,
WE ARE SHOCKINGLY BEING FORCED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF OUR COUNTRY, OUR ETHNIC AND NATIONAL IDENTITY, OUR LANGUAGE, AND OUR HISTORY, AS A PRE-CONDITION FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THE UN, NATO, AND THE EU
THAT THIS BARBARIC AND, IN ESSENCE, GENOCIDAL CRIME, IS BEING PERPETRATED NOT ONLY BY GREECE, BUT BY THE UNITED NATIONS, THE EUROPEAN UNION, AND NATO, AND KEY MEMBER STATES THEREOF, THROUGH CONSTANT POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC PRESSURE, INCLUDING THREATS OF DESTABILISATION,
AND
VIA THE MECHANISMS OF CONDITIONALITY FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THESE ORGANISATIONS THAT THIS SUICIDAL ACT HAS ALSO BEEN SUPPORTED BY
OUR VERY OWN GOVERNMENT,
WHICH IS WILLING TO CHANGE OUR NAME, IDENTITY, LANGUAGE AND HISTORY IN BLATANT VIOLATION OF OUR CULTURAL RIGHTS AND OUR RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION,WITH NO CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE IT REPRESENTS NOR ANY CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDS FOR SUCH ACTS,
THAT OUR PEOPLE ARE BEING BLACKMAILED INTO ACCEPTING TO, DE JURE, COMMIT SUICIDE,
THAT THESE DISGRACEFUL AND BURDENSOME PRECONDITIONS –
TO CHANGE NOT ONLY THE NAME OF OUR STATE BUT APPALINGLY, OUR ETHNIC AND NATIONAL IDENTITY, NATIONALITY AND LANGUAGE – HAVE LED TO COLLECTIVE AND INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA CAUSING SERIOUS MENTAL HARM, AND INCREASING INTERNAL TENSIONS THAT MAY LEAD TO INTERNAL CONFLICT,
THAT THESE ILLEGAL PRECONDITIONS AMOUNT TO TORTURE,
INHUMAN AND DEGRADING TREATMENT,
AND THAT THESE IMMORAL PRECONDITIONS ARE IN BLATANT VIOLATION OF THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT OF ALL PEOPLES TO SELF-DETERMINATION.
WE WISH TO EMPHASIZE THE IRONY OF THE SITUATION:
THAT THE MACEDONIANS, A PEOPLE DOCUMENTED IN THE BIBLE, ARE PARADOXICALLY EXPECTED TO
ERASE THEMSELVES FROM THE HISTORY BOOKS AND MAPS OF THE WORLD
TODAY – IN AN ERA OF THE SUPREMACY OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY, AND BY THE VERY NATION STATES THAT SUPPOSEDLY BROUGHT FORTH THESE VALUES TO OUR WORLD
– IN ORDER TO JOIN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND NATO
WE WISH TO HIGHLIGHT, THAT WHILE HISTORY HAS KNOWN POGROMS AND OBSCENE VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, IT HAS NEVER WITNESSED THIS SCALE AND CATEGORY OF SUCH AN
INTERNATIONALLY ORCHESTRATED CRIME, BY WHICH MORE THAN 15 MILLION PEOPLE, IN THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA AND ABROAD, ARE BEING ORDERED TO SELF-DESTRUCT
WE ALERT YOU, THEREFORE, THAT IN A PRECEDENT OF WORLD HISTORY, OUR NATION IS BECOMING EXTINCT WITH THE STROKE OF THE WESTERN PEN. WE, THE MACEDONIANS, ARE BEING ASKED BY THE VERY SAME EUROPE WHICH WE ENLIGHTENED, TO CEASE AND DESIST.
AND THAT THIS DENIAL OF ETHNIC IDENTITY AMOUNTS TO AN UNPRECEDENTED AND HISTORIC GENOCIDE
LET IT BE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR THAT WE SHALL NO LONGER REMAIN SILENT. AND LET ALL THE PEOPLES AND NATIONS IN THIS WORLD HELP US OVERTURN THIS INJUSTICE.
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, WE SHALL HOLD ACCOUNTABLE ALL THOSE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DENIAL OF OUR NAME, OUR ETHNIC AND NATIONAL IDENTITY, AND OUR LANGUAGE.
…
WITH THIS OPEN LETTER WE WISH TO ANNOUNCE THE FOLLOWING:
CONSCIOUS THAT THE AFOREMENTIONED ACTS ARE BEING MASTERMINDED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF GREECE IN ORDER TO CLOSE A HUNDRED YEAR CHAPTER OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, WAR CRIMES AND THE ATTEMPT OF GENOCIDE ON THE MACEDONIAN MINORITY IN GREECE
CONSCIOUS ALSO, OF THE CONTINUATION OF THE DENIAL OF ETHNIC IDENTITY OF THE MACEDONIAN MINORITY IN GREECE TO THIS VERY DAY
WEARY THAT THE GREEK NEGOTIATING POSITIONS VIS-À-VIS THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA IN THE “NAME ISSUE” ARE MERELY A CONTINUATION AND AN INTERNATIONALISATION OF THE AFOREMENTIONED GREEK DOMESTIC POLICIES OF ASSIMILATION AND DENIAL VIS-À-VIS THE MACEDONIAN MINORITY IN GREECE
AND MINDFUL THAT THESE SAME GREEK NEGOTIATING POSITIONS ARE BEING UNDERTAKEN BY CERTAIN MEMBER STATES OF THE UNITED NATIONS, THE EUROPEAN UNION, AND NATO, DESPITE THE VERDICT OF THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE JUDGMENT OF 5 DECEMBER 2011, IN FAVOUR OF THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA, CONCERNING GREECE’S ACTIONS TO BLOCK THE ENTRY OF THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA INTO ALL REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS
WE CALL UPON THE HEADS OF STATE AND GOVERNMENT AND LEADERS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED MEMBER STATES AND INTERNATIONAL AND REGIONAL ORGANISATIONS AND ALLIANCES, TO TAKE CONSCIENCE OF THESE HISTORICAL FACTS, AND TO ADHERE TO INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS , AS WELL AS TO THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER, AND THE PRINCIPLES OF THE SOVEREIGNTY OF NATION STATES, AND
WE CAUTION THEM TO BE WEARY AND MINDFUL OF THEIR OWN IMPLICATIONS – PAST AND PRESENT – INTO THE VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, INCLUDING INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW, AS WELL AS HUMAN RIGHTS
AND WE WARN THEM TO TAKE NOTE THAT GREECE IS DISHONEST WHEN IT STATES IT WISHES A SOLUTION. RATHER GREECE ACTIVELY AND CONTINUOUSLY WORKS AND LOBBIES FOR “SOLUTIONS” THAT WILL ERADICATE THE MACEDONIAN ETHNIC IDENTITY, OR THAT WILL TRIGGER A CONFLICT WITHIN REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA, SO THAT IT CEASES TO EXIST.
WE FURTHERMORE REMIND THEM OF THE FACT THAT EVERY STATE HAS A NATURALLY INHERENT RIGHT TO A NAME AND THAT THE DETERMINATION OF A STATE’S NAME REPRESENTS THE SUBJECT MATTER SOLELY OF ITS OWN SOVEREIGN DOMESTIC JURISDICTION,
THAT A STATE’S NAME, AS THE LEGAL IDENTITY OF INTERNATIONAL SUBJECTS, IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF ITS JURIDICAL PERSONALITY, AND ITS STATEHOOD,
AND THAT GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTIONS 113/II OF 1947 AND 197/III OF 1948, AND IN PARTICULAR, THE ADVISORY OPINION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE DELIVERED ON 28 OF MAY, 1948, RELATING TO THE INADMISSIBILITY OF PRECONDITIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF THE EXHAUSTIVE CONDITIONS OF ARTICLE 4(1) OF UNITED NATIONS CHARTER, FORBID ANY MEMBER STATE, BODY OR ORGAN OF THE UNITED NATIONS TO IMPOSE ADDITIONAL PRECONDITIONS TO ASPIRING MEMBER STATES OF THE UNITED NATIONS
AS SUCH, THE CONDITION IMPOSED UPON MACEDONIA, TO DISCUSS ITS NAME, AS WELL THE ETHNIC AND NATIONAL IDENTITY OF ITS CITIZENS, AND THEIR LANGUAGE, IS IN VIOLATION NOT ONLY OF INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS, BUT OF THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER
…
