2 News Release MP TEMELKOVSKI DECLARES CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY VISIT TO MACEDONIA A SUCCESS News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 29, 2008 Temelkovski Declares Canadian Parliamentary Visit to Macedonia a Success OTTAWA On April 19, 2008 Lui Temelkovski, Member of Parliament for Oak Ridges- Markham, accompanied a Canadian parliamentary delegation led by the Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada, the Hon. Peter Milliken, to the Republic of Macedonia. Coming on the heels of recent visits of Macedonian ministers to Canada, the threeday visit to Skopje made a valuable contribution to strengthening bilateral relations between Canada and Macedonia. The delegation held high-level ministerial and ambassadorial meetings with Macedonian officials, including the president and prime minister. Canadian parliamentarians had the opportunity to experience Macedonia s rich cultural heritage with visits to the old cities of Skopje and Ohrid. The trip itinerary also included bilateral talks in Croatia and Bosnia- Herzegovina. For Temelkovski the visit helped signal Canada s ongoing support following the outcome of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit in Bucharest. It is important for the Atlantic community to continue to show its support for Macedonia. The Macedonian government has demonstrated a firm commitment to the values and interests of the Alliance, Temelkovski added For more information contact: Steve Vasilevski, TORONTO DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGES PROGRAM ELEMENTARY DIEFENBAKER P.S. 175 Plains Rd., East York (near Coxwell and Cosburn Ave.) MP Lui Temelkovski addresses Macedonian Canadians at the Gotse Delchev banquet United Macedonians Organization of Canada is the publisher of Macedonian Herald as a voice of the Macedonians in North America.

3 IN STEAD OF A COMMENTARY MACEDONIAN VOLUNTEERS IN THE CANADIAN ARMY DURING WWI Regardless of the area of divided Macedonia that they were from, all named Macedonia as their country of birth. Throughout Canadian history, Macedonian immigrants have searched for ways to integrate into Canadian society and contribute towards its development. Some have chosen to give their youth and lives as members of the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force during WWI, Although further research might shed more light on the Canadians of Macedonian origin who have volunteered to fight for Canada and democracy, and the numbers in that case might increase, nevertheless, at this time we will concentrate on the 63 volunteers that appear on the internet site In order to get to the Attestation papers, one needs to go first to the U.S Military Collection, , then select WWI and write Macedonia in the search engine. After that, Canadian Soldiers of World War I, can be chosen and the 63 volunteers on seven pages appear. In fact there are 61 individuals, because one is shown twice (John Cook), and one is not really from Macedonia (Weldon Osler Patton). These Canadians of Macedonian origin were mentioned by Dusko Sinadinoski from Detroit in two news articles: in Makedonski Glas of February 14, 2008 (Makedonski Jenki vo Prvata Svetska Vojna) and in Utrinski vesnik of April 4, 2008 (Stotina Makedonci bile amerikanski vojnici vo Golemata vojna). In this article we will dwell more on the topic by presenting the data for each individual, since although all were born at the end of the 18 th century, at a time when Macedonia was still under Ottoman occupation, they report that the country of birth was Macedonia. Some, besides Macedonia also mention Turkey, others for example mention Greece after Macedonia, even though at the time of their birth, Greece had no Macedonian territory under occupation. In this case, the occupation and division of Macedonia after the Balkan Wars of surely had some influence. The data in the Attestation papers has a very important historic value in relation to the present on-going Greek pressure on the Republic of Macedonia to change its name, with proposals such as Vardarska Banovina, Northern Macedonia, Republic of Macedonia Skopje (with a line in between or in brackets), Slavo-Macedonian Republic and other absurd names. These Macedonians in By Dragi Stojkovski the period of did not use any of those absurd names, and simply used the only name for their homeland that they knew Macedonia. The Attestation papers have some obvious spelling mistakes for the personal names as well as the village and city names of the volunteers birth places, however, everyone with some knowledge of Macedonian personal and family names and Macedonian geography will have no problem making the corrections. Here we will leave the names as they originally appear in the Attestation papers and on the website and in the same order. The Attestation papers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force have four sections: the first section under the title Questions To Be Put Before Attestation has the personal information of the volunteer; the second section titled Declaration To Be Made By Man On Attestation, has the signature of the recruit under the solemn declaration that all answers in the first section are true, and agreement to serve in the Canadian Expeditionary Force; section three is the Oath that the recruit signs with a promise to be faithful and bear true Allegiance to His Majesty King George the Fifth ; and the last fourth section is the Certificate of Magistrate, which is signed and dated by the Justice with a explanation that the recruit has been informed not to give false statements and that the Justice has made sure the recruit understood all questions, as well as sign the paper in his presence. Without any more commentary, we will let the facts speak for themselves: Christian name Surname Town, Township or parish and Country of birth Address of next-of-kin Address of next-of-kin Date of Attestation Chris Andrieft Macedonia Toronto,Canada 25 Dec Oct 1918 Alex Apostolides Monastir, Macedonia Monastir, Macedonia 5 Feb Oct 1917 Comstantine Atanasoff Floreni, Macedonia, Turkey Floreni, Macedonia 15 May March 1917 Andionios Atoinasian Macedonia Slimistor, Macedonia 15 May July 1917 Thomas Bacis Florina, Macedonia, Greece Florina, P.O.Macedonia, Greece 24 March Aug 1916 Thomas Bally Tyrnevo, Macedonia Ohio, USA 18 Jan June 1917 Nick Bellas Salonika, Macedonia Detroit, USA 30 Aug Nov 1916 Miltiades Cholekas Macedonia, Greece Selitsa, Macedonia, Greece 5 Jan Sept 1917 John Christ Castoria, Macedonia Castoria, Macedonia Feb March 1916 Elia Christo Monastir, Macedonia, Europe Winipeg, Manitoba, Canada 15 March Dec 1917 Wm Christoff Macedonia, Monastir Monastir, Macedonia 15 March Sep 1915 John Cook Satista, Macedonia, Greece Detroit, USA Aug 1916 Gust Creacas Braten, Macedonia, Greece Braten, Macedonia, Greece 19 May Sept 1916 Stellie Demetren Macedonia Neveska, Southern Greece 11 Sept Feb 1916 Goven Demoff Jalevo, Macedonia, Greece Jalevo, Macedonia, Greece 1 Jan Nov 1914 Robert Dimitri Monaster, Macedonia Toronto, Ont, Canada 25 Dec April 1918 John Dimitroff Macedonia, Turkey Castoria, Macedonia, Turkey Nov Jan 1918 Thomas Dimitroff Turkey, Macedonia???,???, Greece 31 May 1918 Panel Divitcoff Macedonia, Greece Florina, Greece 12 Feb June 1918 Kosty Elieff Monastir, Macedonia Monastir, Macedonia 12 Nov Aug 1918 Vasil Elieff Monastir, Macedonia Monastir, Macedonia 16 Sep Aug 1918 Chris Evans???, Macedonia???, Macedonia 14 Sep Feb 1916 James Ferris Salonika, Macedonia, Greece Salonika, Macedonia, Greece 16 Aug Sep 1916 Noso Filo Macedonia, Greece Macedonia, Greece 15 March Nov 1916 Gust George Macedonia Macedonia 20 May Oct 1917 Louis George Florena, Macedonia Toronto, Ont 20 July July 1915 Pete George Macedonia, Greece Macedonia, Greece 15 Jan Jan 1918 Pando Georgieff Jalavo, Macedonia Armencko, Florina, Macedonia 17 Aug Sep 1915 Gregory Gregoriades Macedonia, Greece Macedonia, Greece 9 March Sep 1917 George Gregory Macedonia, Europe Los Angeles, USA 24 Feb June 1918 John Guman Naussa, Macedonia, Greece Naussa, Macedonia, Greece 21 May July 1918 Dimitrios Iliopoulos Florina, Macedonia, Greece Pisoderi, Macedonia, Greece April Sept 1916 Boga Iliyw Prilip, Macedonia Prylep, Slepchy, Macedonia 28 Aug April 1916 Stephanos S Ioannou Uskub, Macedonia Uskub, Macedonia, Servia 19 Nov May 1915 Leo Jann Kescada, Macedonia, Greece Florina, New Greece, Greece 4 March March 1916 Vany Jime Castoria, Macedonia, Greece Toronto, Ont 10 March May 1916 Pater Johnson Macedonia, Greece Kastoria, Macedonia, Greece 6 Dec May 1918 John Dineff Jump Macedonia C.

4 Toronto, Kanada 6 mart, 2008 godina O t v o r e n o p i s m o do oficijalnite ustanovi na vlasta i site drugi politi~ki i gra anski ustanovi vo Republika Makedonija, celiot makedonski narod {irum svetot i site dr`avjani na Republika Makedonija Po povod najnovite pritisoci vrz Republika Makedonija za promena na istoriskoto i ustavno ime Makedonija, t.e. Republika Makedonija. Dragi sestri i bra}a, Makedonki i Makedonci, Organizacijata Obedineti Makedonci vo Kanada, kako najmasovna i najstara makedonska nacionalna organizacija vo svetot, se ~uvstvuva povikana da se proiznese za svojata zagri`enost vo odnos na najnovite grubi pritisoci vrz Republika Makedonija, so cel promena na istoriskoto, nacionalno i ustavno ime na na{ata tatkovina Makedonija, t.e. Republika Makedonija. Iako `iveeme daleku od na{ata tatkovina, nie sme sudbinski zainteresirani i zagri`eni za site pote{kotii so koi se soo~uva na{ata tatkovina i podgotveni sme da deluvame kako i dosega, zaedno so site makedonski iselenici {irum svetot, vo odbrana na nacionalnite interesi na Republika Makedonija. Posakuvame da ja vidime Republika Makedonija kako tehnolo{ki visoko razviena industriska dr`ava, so razviena demokratija, koja }e bide vklu~ena vo svetskite civilizaciski tekovi, ~lenka na NATO i EU. Me utoa, poslednite pritisoci za kompromis, t.e. promena na ustavnoto ime na dr avata, mnogu n# zagri uva i ~uvstvuvame potreba da go ka`eme na{eto mislewe i dademe na{ata celosna i bezuslovna poddr{ka da istraeme vo odbrana na nacionalnoto i ustavno ime, a so toa i makedonskiot nacionalen identitet i dostoinstvo. 1. Nacionalno edinstvo okolu imeto: 1.1 N# raduva i ohrabruva nacionalnoto edinstvo postignato me u dr`avniot vrv, politi~kite partii, nacionalnite ustanovi, nevladinite organizacii, makedonskiot narod i malcinstvata vo Republika Makedonija vo odbrana na nacionalnoto i ustavno ime; 1.2 Nie, makedonskite iselenici vo Kanada i {irum svetot celosno stoime so Vas vo zalo`bata da se istrae vo site isku{enija i da se so~uva nacionalnoto i ustavno ime Republika Makedonija, bez nikakvi dodavki i izmeni; 1.3 Nacionalnite interesi, me u koi, sekako, e nacionalnoto i ustavno ime, nikoga{ ne smeat da se podreduvaat i da im slu`at na dnevnopoliti~kite interesi. Se nadevame deka do ova nema nikoga{ da dojde, zo{to, vo sprotivno, }e ja ima na{ata celosna osuda, bidej}i makedonskoto nacionalno ime i identitet pripa aat na site dosega{ni, sega{ni i idni generacii Makedonci; 1.4 Sakame vo NATO i EU, no nikako kako obezli~eni i novoimenuvani, koe za nas zna~i bezimeni, bri{ewe na na{iot nacionalen identitet i dostoinstvo. 2. Soo~uvawe so realnosta: 2.1 Celta na Grcija, t.e. Porane{nata otomanska provincija Junaistan (ili skrateno POPaJ, POPaJ-anija vo ponatamo{niot tekst) e mnogu ednostavna i proyirna: da n# snema, da n# poni{tat, da ne postojat etni~ki Makedonci, edinstven narod koj ima legitimno pravo na zemjata makedonska. Tie se svesni deka denes ne mo`at etni~ki da ne ~istat bez svedoci kako {to toa go pravea vo 1912 godina i potoa, i so blagoslov na istite dr`avi vo ~ie dru{tvo sakame da vlezeme. Moderniot svet, razvojot na demokratijata sovremenite komunikacii toa ve}e ne go dozvoluvaat. Zatoa celta na na{ite osporuva~i e da n# uni{tat so obezli~uvawe i celosno poni`uvawe, da postaneme nov narod, so novo ime, nova istorija so drugi zborovi, tolku da ne poni`at i pogazat, za nikoga{ da ne pomislime za na{ite seu{te porobeni bra}a i sestri, odzemeni domovi i imoti, proterani sogra ani. Taka obezli~eni i novo imenuvani, }e ni ja izbri{at od na{ata nacionalna svest memorijata za na{ata slavna istorija, za vremeto koga nie Makedoncite bevme gospodari na svetot; 2.2 Celta na Makedonija treba da bide da gi postigne standardite na NATO i EU, za makedonskite dr`avjani da mo`at da imaat dobar standard na `ivot, kako i razvienite ~lenki na istite sojuzi. No interesite na Makedonija se posebni i ne se sovpa aat so interesite na nekoi ve}e ~lenki na NATO i EU, a na{i sosedi; 2.3 Posledni se oslobodivme poradi uslovite vo koi se nao avme, vo srceto na Balkanot,na vetrometinata pome u Evropa i Azija. Povtorno uslovite se poigruvaat so nas: barame priem vo NATO i EU otkako dva na{i xelati ve}e se ~lenovi. Vsu{nost, tuka i le`i problemot. Ili na{ite xelati }e se smiluvaat da n# primat, ili nivnite u~iteli }e gi prisilat da se otka`at od nivnite `elbi i zalo`bi za na{e uni{tuvawe. Toa e problem na NATO i EU i nie treba da ~ekame da si go re{at problemot vo svoite redovi. Samo koga toa }e go postignat, nie }e mo`eme dostoinstveno da postaneme ramnopravni ~lenki na dvata sojuza; 2.4 Dotoga{, ne smeeme da zaboravime deka Makedonija si ima svoi posebni interesi i tie ne se sovpa aat so interesite na tie koi vo 1912 godina n# porobija i podelija. Na{ interest e da vodime nezavisna i neutralna politika, odr`uvaj}i posebno dobri odnosi so na{ite strate{ki partneri, koi ve}e brojat nad 120 dr`avi; 2.5 Smiruvaweto na Balkanot edinstveno }e se postigne so seopfatno re{enie na makedonskoto pra{awe. So ova }e mora da se pomirat i na{ite xelati a me unarodnata zaednica }e n# prifati kako legitimen del od nea. 3. O k o l u pregovorite/ razgovorite za razlikite na na{eto ime: 3.1 Nie Makedoncite, bez razlika kade `iveeme, nemame nikakov problem so na{eto istorisko, nacionalno i ustavno ime; 3.2 Spored toa, izli{ni i bezpredmetni se sekakvi razgovori/ pregovori so POPaJ-anija (ili prvata strana) za nametnatiot i izmislen od niv spor za na{eto ime; 3.3 Bez razlika na ishodot od samitot na NATO vo Bukure{t, da se prekinat razgovorite/ pregovorite okolu razlikite za imeto. So samite pritisoci i zakani za veto, POPaJ-anija ve}e ja ima prekr{eno Spogodbata od 13 septemvri, 1995 godina; 3.4 POPaJ-anija postana zalo`nik na svojata nacionalisti~ka, {ovini-sti~ka, rasisti~ka i ksenofobi~na politika koja ja sproveduva{e pove}e od eden vek. POPaJancite so vreme poveruvaa na dr`avnite lagi i sega samite tie, narodot i vlasta, se nao aat vo eden ma epsan krug od koj ne mo`at da izlezat. Dol`nost e na POPaJ-anija da si go prosveti svojot narod, ne so istoriski mitovi i lagi, tuku so istoriski fakti; 3.5 Edinstvena mo`nost za razgovor za razlikite okolu imeto za da i se dozvoli na POPaJanija da ni se obra}a so za niv prifatlivo ime (i da spasat obraz pred svojot narod i svetot) e ako vo razgovorite se vklu~at i slednite to~ki: - Okupacijata i podelbata na Makedonija vo godina; - Etni~koto ~istewe koe POPaJ-anija go sprovede po okupacijata preku proteruvawe etni~ki Makedonci od ju`na Makedonija i doseluvawe kolonisti; - Izvinuvawe za site zlodela sprovedeni od strana na POPaJ-anija, pla}awe soodvetna ot{teta i vetuvawe deka nikoga{ takvi zlodela nema da se povtorat; - Priznavawe na etni~kite Makedonci vo ramkite na POPaJ-anskata dr ava i garantirawe na site etni~ki, jazi~ni, kulturni, verski i drugi ~ovekovi i gra anski prava; - Vra}awe na site proterani Makedonci, slobodno koristewe na siot niven imot i vra}awe na odzemeniot imot; - Gradewe dobrososedstvo vrz vzaemni interesi, so otsustvo na sekakov {ovinizam, ksenofobija i mitologija; - Prifa}awe na istoriskata vistina za posebnosta na drevnite Makedonci; 4. Re{avawe na problemot so imeto: 4.1 Problemot so na{eto ime nastana vo ramkite na Organizacijata Obedineti Nacii i spored toa, re{enieto mora tamu i da se bara; 4.2 Dr`avniot vrv na Republika Makedonija mora itno da ja izvesti OON deka, so ogled na toa {to samite si go prekr{ija ~lenot 4 od Povelbata za priem na novi ~lenki, bezuslovno barame prifa- }awe na dr`avnoto ustavno ime Republika Makedonija vo site organi na organizacijata (na angliski Republic of Macedonia); 4.3 Ako vo OON ima protivewe na to~kata 4.2, da se pobara pravno mislewe od pravnata slu`ba na OON dali uslovite pod koi Republika Makedonija be{e primorana da prifati ~lenstvo se vo soglasnost so Povelbata na OON (t.e. da se postapi spored pove}e godi{niot predlog na dr. Igor Janev, za koj dr`avnoto rakovodstvo nikoga{ dosega se nema proizneseno); 4.4 Ako po misleweto na pravnata slu`ba seu{te ima pritisok vo OON kon na{eto ustavno ime, da se bara sovetodavno mislewe na Me unarodniot sud za pravda. 5. Ponatamo{no unapreduvawe na Makedonija i makedonskoto ime vo svetot: 5.1 Organizirawe nau~en Forum od svetski priznati i neutralni istori~ari, jazi~ari, antropolozi, kulturolozi, sociolozi i geneti~ari, vo sorabotka so na{i stru~waci, koi }e ja rastrgaat maglata na nacionalnite mitovi od istoriskite fakti. 5.2 Forumot da izrabi Elaborat so fakti i istiot da se ra{iri i pretstavi pred me unarodnata zaednica, vo koj }e bide oblazlo`eno za pri~inite zo{to tokmu nie Makedoncite sme tie koi imame najmnogu pravo vrz istoriskoto nasledstvo na drevnite Makedonci. 5.3 Vrvnite klubovi od site sportovi vo dr`avata, posebno tie koi nastapuvaat na me unarodna scena, treba da bidat imenuvani Makedonija. Na ovoj na~in sekoga{ i nasekade }e se unapreduva imeto a nikoj ne }e mo`e da n# spre~i vo toa bidej}i ova nema da bidat dr`avni reprezentacii, tuku klubski timovi. Odglasot }e be{e mnogu pogolem ako na primer, Kometal-\or~e Petrov osvoe{e titula pod imeto Makedonija otkolku pod sega{noto ime; 5.4 Republika Makedonija treba pod into da izraboti strategija so koja }e gi pomogne i naso~i naporite na Makedoncite koi se vo svetskiot vrv vo nauka, umetnost, sport i drugi poliwa, za da mo`at po{iroko i dostoinstveno da ja pretstavuvaat i unapreduvaat Makedonija i makedonskoto ime niz svetot; Nadevaj}i se deka ova Otvoreno pismo od sekoj Makedonec }e bide prifateno kako na{a neprestana zalo`ba za nepre~en i dostoinstven razvoj na makedonskata dr`ava i nacija, Bratski Ve pozdravuvame.

8 PHILIP AND ALEXANDER OF MACEDON GENIUSES OF MILITARY-DIPLOMATIC STRATEGY Military academies throughout the world, as well as academicians in Strategy, constantly use the military genius of Alexander of Macedon and his father Philip as an example of classical military-diplomatic strategy that use many of the concepts relevant even in modern warfare, such as spirit of morale, surprise, cunning, concentration of space, dominance of selected positions, use of strategic reserves, unification over time, tension and release and the intangibility of leadership. Two of the world s authorities on the subject of Strategy are Henry Mintzberg and James Brian Quinn. They are also the authors of the western world s premier textbook on Strategy, titled The Strategy Process Concepts, Contexts, Cases. This is how they describe Philip and Alexander s actions at Chaeronea, when on August 2 nd, 338 B.C., the Macedonian forces crushed the unified Athenian and Theban forces: A Classical Strategy A Grand Strategy Philip and his young son, Alexander, had very clear goals. They sought to rid Macedonia of influence by the Greek citystates and to establish dominance over what was then essentially northern Greece. They also wanted Athens to join a coalition with them against Persia on their eastern flank. Assessing their resources, they decided to avoid the overwhelming superiority of the Athenian fleet and chose to forego attack on the powerful walled cities of Athens and Thebes where their superbly trained phalanxes and cavalry would not have distinct advantages. Philip and Alexander used an indirect approach when an invitation by the Amphicryonic Council brought their army south to punish Amphissa. In a planned sequence of actions and deceptive maneuvers, they cut away from a direct line of march to Amphissa, bypassed the enemy, and fortified a key base, Elatea. They then took stapes to weaken their opponents politically and morally by pressing restoration of the Phoenician communities earlier dispersed by the Thebans and by having Philip declared a champion of the Delphic gods. Then using misleading messages to make the enemy believe they had moved north to Thrace and also using developed intelligence sources, the Macedonians in a surprise attack annihilated the Greek s positions near Amphissa. This lured their opponents away from their defensive positions in the nearby mountain passes to consolidate their forces near the town of Chaeronea. There, assessing the relative strengths of their opponents, the Macedonians first attempted to negotiate to achieve their goals. When this was unsuccessful they had a well-developed contingency plan on how to attack and overwhelm the Greeks. Prior to this time, of course, the Macedonians had organized their troops into the famed phalanxes, and had developed the full logistics needed for their field support including a longer spear, which helped the Macedonian phalanxes penetrate the solid shield of the heavily massed Greek formations. Using the natural advantages of their terrain, the Macedonians had developed cavalry support for their phalanxes movements far beyond the Greek capability. Finally, using a relative advantage-the command structure their hierarchical social system allowed-against the more democratic Greeks, the Macedonian nobles had trained their personnel into one of the most disciplined and highly motivated forces in the world. The Battle Strategy Supporting this was the battle strategy at Chaeronea, which emerged as follows. Philip and Alexander first analyzed their specific strengths and weaknesses and their opponents current alignments and probable moves. The Macedonian strength lay in their new appear technology, the mobility of their superbly disciplined phalanxes, and the powerful cavalry unites led by Alexander. Their weakness were that they were badly outnumbered and faced in the Athenian and the Theban Band some of the finest troops in the world. However their opponents had two weak points. One was the Greek left flank with lightly armed local troops placed near the Chaeronean Acropolis and next to some more heavily armed but hastily assembled hoplites bridging to the strong center held by the Athenians. The famed Theban Band anchored the Greek right wing near a swamp on the Cephissus River (See Figure 1.) Philip and Alexander organized their leadership to command key positions, Philip Figure 1: The Battle of Chaeronea.

9 took over the right and Alexander the cavalry. They aligned their forces into a unique posture which used their strengths and offset their weaknesses. They decided on those spots at which they would concentrate their forces, what positions to concede, and what key points they must take and hold. Starting with their units angled back from the Greek lines (see map), they developed a focused major thrust against the Greek left wing and attacked their opponents weaknesses the troops near Chaeronea with the most disciplined of the Macedonian units, the guards brigade. After building up pressure and stretching the Greek line to its left, the guards brigade abruptly begun a planned withdrawal. This feint caused the Greek left to break ranks and rush forward, believing the Macedonians to be in full retreat. This stretched the opponents resources as the Greek center moved left to maintain contact with its flank and to attack the fleeing Macedonians. Then with predetermined timing, Alexander s cavalry attacked the exposure of the stretched line at the same moment Philip s phalanxes re-formed as planned on the high ground at the edge of the Heamon River. Alexander broke through and formed a bridgehead behind the Greeks. He refocused his forces against a segment of the opponents line; his cavalry surrounded and destroyed the Theban Band as the overwhelming power of the phalanxes poured through the gap he had created. From its secured position, the Macedonian left flank then turned and attacked the flank of the Athenians. With the help of Philip s planned counterattack, the Macedonians expanded their dominance and over-whelmed the critical target, i.e., the Greek center.

Da, istorijata na svetot bi bila mnogu posiroma{na, bi mu nedostasuvalo objasnuvaweto za originalnosta na edna va`na alka od negoviot kontinuitet, kako prekrasen, no uni{ten mozaik na koj e nevidliv glavniot detaq ako ne Bi Makedonija. Golemite temelni civilizaciski, kulturolo{ki vrednosti koi Makedonija nesebi~no gi podarila i spodelila so ostanatiot svet bi ostanale bez svojot praishod, ne bi mo`ele da se objasnat i povrzat so svoeto izvori{te, zna~i bi nemale svoj logi~en razvoj, ako Makedonija is~eznela, kakvi {to se tragediite vo slu~aevite so nekolku takvi prastari, no is~eznati civilizacii. Svetot, vrednostite na koi se temeli toj, bez Makedonija bi li~el na edno sira~e ostaveno kraj patot, koe podocna zaludno se obiduva da si gi pronajde svoite roditeli. Najgolemiot del od sovremenoto ~ove{tvo, onoj razbraniot i pametniot svet ja znae, ja priznava i ja po~ituva makedonskata civilizacija i nejzinata uloga vo razvojot na ~ovekovata istorija. A nie, nejzinite potomci, navistina sme po~esteni i gordi na toj fakt. Edinstvenite koi se nezadovolni, o~ajni, nedostoinstveni, frustrirani i agresivni od vozobnuvaweto na Makedonija se sosedite so koi taa se grani~i. Pa kako i vo minatoto vekovi nanazad, taka i den-denes, na edni im bode o~i imeto, na drugite jazikot, na tretite Crkvata, ~etvrtite si stavile na um cvrsta namera da ukasaat u{te eden del od nea. So postoeweto na Makedonija site tie se popre~eni da se kitat so ukradenite, nelegitimno prisvoenite civilizaciski vrednosti, ne mo`at tuku-taka da gi posvojat kako nivno ekskluzivno pravo, komi~ni se koga se ko~operat so tu i perduvi. So vekovi nanazad ne zemaat zdiv vo nivnite zli nameri, Vo ovoj moment, vo ova istorisko mesto Sv. Otec Prohor P~iwski i na ovoj istoriski den ILINDEN, koga objavuvam da e otvoreno Prvoto Antifa{isti~ko sobranie so radost i pred premre`nite o~i gledam kako se razdvi`ile site reki od P~iwa i Vardar, od Mesta i Bistrica, zapluskujat e celata makedonska zemja, sakaj}i da izmijat od makedonskiot narod desetvekovniot ropski sram od propasta na Samuilovara dr`ava, za da se rodi deneska nova, svetla i slobodna makedonska dr`ava. Vo ovoj moment, zemjata na na{ite pokojnici - mnogubrojni narodni heroi, padnali i posejali koskite si po cela Makedonija, im stanuje po leka i oni vo mir ve}e go gledat izgrevot na na{ata sloboda, gledat idealnata dru ba na starite Ilindenci - na Goce Del~ev i dene{nite Ilindenci - mladata makedonska vojska, ipostavenite temeli za ostvarenieto na idealot na dve pokolenija, na dve epohi -slobodna, obedineta Makedonija. podmolno se slu`at so site poznati i nepoznati trikovi, go la`at ostanatiot svet, potplatuvaat grdni azna zlato na sli~nite na niv.

Prohor P~inski vo 1944 godina go voskresna i zasekoga{ neizbri{livo ja vtemeli i ja zaveri tapijata na modernata makedonska nacionalna dr`ava. Kako dr`ava ramna na site evropski dr`avi, koi iako svojot nacionalen razvoj go zavr{ile ne{to porano, no na ist na~in i so isti principi i na soodvetni demokratski i civilizirani metodi. Vo na{iot slu~aj i u{te pove}e od toa udiraweto na temelite na modernata dr`avnost se slu~uva istovremeno i vo sorabotka so celiot slobodarski duh na globalnata antifa{isti~ka koalicija. Dve nedeli po odr`uvaweto na Zasedanieto, vo edno obra}awe na Britanskiot Forin ofis se veli: Izgleda sosema e jasno deka Makedonija e jugoslovenska Makedonija. No toa ne ja isklu~uva mo nosta jugoslovenskite i makedonskite partizani da baraat delovi od Grcija, Bugarija i Albanija od pred 1941 godina za formirawe na totalno nezavisna Makedonija. I pobaraa nabrzo (sekako, edinstveno) makedonskite partizani, vo onie studeni, maglivi januarski ve~eri 45-tata od Skopje da zaminat za da gi oslobodat porobenite delovi no bea krvavo, du{manski spre~eni vo namerite.

Postoi eden del od manifestot na ASNOM koj e obvrzuva~ki za site, a vo nego se veli: Trgnuvaj}i od vekovnite ideali na makedonskiot narod, prvoto makedonsko Narodno sobranie go proklamira pred cel svet svoeto pravedno i neotstapno sakawe za obedinuvawe na celiot makedonski narod na principite na pravoto za samoopredeluvawe.

A znaat, samo se pravat na udreni, deka formiraweto na modernite literaturni oblici na nacionalnite jazici na site evropski dr`avi se formirani na ist na~in. Na primer, francuskiot - za dr`aven jazik so zakon za literaturen francuski e zemen pariskiot dijalekt, za{to, na primer, dijalektot na Bretanecot i, na primer, dijalektot na `itel na Provansa, se mnogu razli~ni i bi imalo problemi vo oficijalnata komunikacija, a osobeno vo pi{uvaweto. Isto i vo Italija, ili vo Germanija. Krste P. Misirkov sekako go znael toa podobro od nekoi sovremeni sosedni istori- ~ari i lingvisti. I od tamu, sekako, trgnale onie koi na ASNOM ja donele taa istoriska odluka.

Me utoa i na ovoj ILINDEN i po povod ASNOM na{a obvrska e da mu se navra}ame na ASNOM, na negovite temelni pridobovki. Da progledame pojasno niz radosnite i premre`eni o~i na Panko Bra{narov, ~ovekot koj go otvori Zasedanieto. Vo toj moment vo Pankovoto videnie se razdvi`uvaat site reki od P~iwa i Vardar, od Mesta i Bistrica koi zapluskujat e celata makedonska zemja, sakaj}i da go izmijat desetvekovniot ropski sram od propasta na Samoilovata dr`ava, za da se rodi deneska nova svetla i slobodna makedonska dr`ava. Nie treba da imame sakawe kako {to se veli vo manifestot, za takvo ne{to. Da bideme gordi i da istraeme vo sakaweto.

17 THE MANIFESTO OF THE THE KRUSHEVO REPUBLIC Fellow countrymen and dear neighbours! We, your perennial neighbours, friends and acquaintances from beautiful Krushevo and its pretty villages, regardless of faith, nationality, sex or conviction, not being able to endure any more the tyranny of bloodthirsty murtats who hunger for human flesh, who would like to lead both you and us to slaughter, to reduce both you and us to poverty, and to turn our dear and wealthy land of Macedonia into a wasteland, we have today raised our heads and decided to defend ourselves with rifles in our hands from our and your enemies, and obtain freedom. You know very well that we are not evil and you understand that it is trouble that made us risk our lives, so that we might begin living like human beings or die like heroes! And because since the times of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers we have lived together like brothers of this land, we consider you as our own, and would like it to remain the same forever. We have not raised our rifles against you - it would be shameful for us to do so; we have not raised against the peaceful diligent and honest Turkish people who, like ourselves, earn their living through sweat full of blood - they are our brothers with whom we have always lived and would like to live again; we have not risen to slaughter and plunder, to set fire and steal - we have had enough of countless derebeyis pillaging and plundering our poor and blood-stained Macedonia; we have not risen to convert to Christianity and disgrace your mothers and sisters, wives and daughters; you should know that your property, your lives, your faith and your honour are as dear to us as our own. Alas, we have taken up arms only to protect our property, our lives, our faith and our honour. We are not murtats of our own land that has given birth to us, we are not robbers and plunderers, but revolutionaries sworn to die for justice and freedom; we rebel against tyranny and against slavery; we are fighting and will fight against murtats, against robbers, against oppressors and plunderers, against besmirchers of our honour and our faith and against those who benefit from our sweat and exploit our labour. Do not be afraid of us and of our villages - we shall not harm anyone. Not only do we consider you as our brothers, but we also feel sorry for you as our brothers, since we understand that you are slaves like ourselves, slaves of the Sultan and of his beys, effendis and pashas, slaves of the rich and powerful, slaves of tyrants and oppressors, who have set fire to the empire from all four sides and have made us rise up for justice, for freedom and for human life. We invite you, too, to join us in our struggle for justice, freedom and human life! Come, Moslem brothers, let us together go against your and our enemies! Come under the banner of Autonomous Macedonia! Macedonia is the mother of us all and she calls on us for help. Let us break the chains of slavery, free ourselves from suffering and pain, and dry the rivers of blood and tears! Join us, brothers, let us fuse our souls and hearts and save ourselves, so that we and our children and our children s children might live in peace, work calmly and make progress!... Dear neighbours! We understand that you as Turks, Arnauts and Moslems might think that the empire is yours and that you are not slaves since there is no cross on the imperial flag but a star and a crescent. You will soon see and understand that this is not so and that you are wrong. Nevertheless, if you honour does not allow you to join us and declare yourselves against the Sultan s tyranny, we, your brothers in suffering and of the same homeland, shall do you no harm and shall not hate you. We will fight alone both for you and us, and if necessary, we will fight to the last man under the banner for our and your freedom, for our and your justice. Freedom or Death is written on our foreheads and on our blood-stained banner. We have already raised that banner and there is no way back. If you consider us as your brothers, too, if you wish us well, if you intend to live with us again as you have lived up to now, and if you are faithful and worthy sons of our mother Macedonia, you could help us in one way at least - and it would be a great help indeed - do not make partners of the enemy, do not raise guns against us and do not oppress the Christian villages! May God bless our holy struggle for justice and freedom! Long live the fighters for freedom and all honest and good Macedonian sons! Hurrah! For Autonomous Macedonia!
