As a Greek,i am not sure whether Turkey should join the E.U or not.I supose that our bilateral relations might be improved.Of course,there are several problems that Europe should concider.For instance,the political and economic power of the turkish generals should be controlled,these people are very...

Fyrom's propaganda is absolutely crazy!This video is from their state's television (MTB).They believe that all of the white race has a "macedonian" origin!

"We believe that the paper should have been refused for publication on the simple grounds that it lacked scientific merit."

I believe that you may find interesting this article which was published in Nature journal of science by the geneticists Neil Risch, Alberto Piazza & L. Luca Cavalli-Sforza.

Please also note that some of Vilena's team members are "Macedonians"...

Despite the fact that i am Greek,i think that FYROM's anti-hellenic hysteria has gone too far and it's very cheap to use science in order to degrade and insult your neighbors no matter how much you hate them!

And the answer to that... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Arnaiz-Villena Antonio Arnaiz-Villena A paper on the genetic relationship between Greeks and ethnic Macedonians had concluded that "Greeks are found to have a substantial relatedness to sub-Saharan (Ethiopian and West African) peopl...

Frankly,i do believe that there is some kind of a change in Turkey.There are progressive and democratic people over there,as well...But the economic and political power of the army is gigantic and the islamic party is very strong too.Turkey needs more time!!! Recently ,an actor who had participated ...

Face it,the turkish nation is a serial killer!it' history is a chain of crimes against mankind...we,the balkan nations have suffered very much bcz of these savages!!!

there's no excuse man...

but lets assume that there is,for arguments sake...


what about the Assyrians and pontian greeks?


where are the 1.700 missing greek cypriots,prisoners of war?35 years have passed since the turkish invasion at Cyprus...where are they???

Nope!!!

Between 1915-1922,about 3,2 millions οf Greeks,Armenians,Kurds and Assyrians were massacred by turkish chauvinism.i cant post links yet bcz im new...Have a look at wikipedia though...key words are: Istanbul pogrom (1955) kurdish genocide armenian genocide assyrian genocide pontian greek genocide cyp...

Euxinus Pontus in ancient greek means "sea of hospitality"... Pontus is a "small sea"... This word is also a part of the compound greek word "Hellesponte",which means "sea of Elli"... Until the genocide of 1915,there were about 700.000 greeks in the region of ...

nothing's wrong with slavs...except if they call themselves "macedonians" and claim land from Greece...


Pontus Euxinus,eh?so you like the ancient name of the region as i see...Hey,my origin is pontian...

i would love to enlight you people concerning matters of Balkan history and mentality.At least from my own point of view.But i assure you that the people of this peninsula concider the Turkish/otthoman occupation as a huge ammount of wasted time...Perhaps with the exception of the noumerous muslim m...

Turkey is a nation that even today violates the territorial rights of Greece,claims northwestern Greece,occupies North Cyprus etc...I see Turkey as a serial killer or something. Did you know anything about the Armenian,Assyrian or Greek-pontian genocide which all took place between 1915-1922? Did yo...

you must be kidding...basic target...

no turkish influence...have you asked the Romanians?Imagine Italy without the Renaissance...Imagine France without Eifell tower...You have no idea how would the balkans look like today without the otthoman "experience"...

the turkish occupation was a more serious problem,believe me...

thats a weird thought.

anyway,the reason for the situation in the balkans,is in my opinion the ottthoman occupation for 400 to 500 years...A long,dark,harsh turkish winter while the rest of Europe was experiencing freedom and a civilisation boom...

yes,our participation in the E.U makes us feel safer,this is a fact...it's sad to know that you live in a region where wars still happen...

Fyrom cannot harm Greece.Not alone anyway.BUT...If a war with Turkey happens,yes they may cause a serious problem to Greece.It is very annoying the fact that three of our neighboring countries claim some land from my country.Only Greece and Cyprus face such kind of a threat in the E.U. The balkan pe...

Fyrom cannot harm my country,not alone anyway.On the other hand,during a grecoturkish war,they may! i am not yet allowed to post videos and links since i am a new member.but if you are willing to realise FYROM'S nationalistic hysteria,just watch a video from Skopje's national TV on youtube. The titl...

This is a very kind thought indeed.Unfortunately my neighbors dont share it with you,since they all claim some piece of my country.After the fall of communism,balkan chauvinism has risen again.Not only Turkey remains a serious threat towards Greece,but imperialist claims have been emerged from the n...
