Pavel,
Thanks for posting this. You have omitted several sections including
the fact that Greece actually does not participate and has not
ratified this treaty..and has no obligations at all.
I wonder how this Slovak person wants to be taken seriously in Greece
when he utilizes terms as "ethnic Macedonians" that show (a) that he

Yes, Cliff Richard is going to represent the UK in this year' Eurovision for
the third time, with Wired for Sound. NOT!
Oh well... Pity. He would have done well, um.... back in 1981, if Bucks Fizz
hadn't have won it with Making Your Mind Up.
This is what really happened.
They had 6 acts. They had to perform 6 Pete Waterman hits. Two of the acts

You mean the read-headed Xiongu mummies, perhaps. These have never been
branded "Mongols".
As for the genes - another correction is needed: these have been
genetically linked to Indo-Iranian speakers.

Of course, it is.
The Barlaamits whom you call "humanists" were purged by the Byzantines

The same happened in all the Balkan countries - most notably Wallachia,
Bulgaria and Serbia. And this happened in the 14th century after local
councils and synods were held. I would blame rather the Black death than

Congratulations to Giorgos Alkaios for winning the right to represent Greece
in this years Eurovision song contest with Opa.
Opa was always destined to go though to the finals. It was the best song in
the Greek national final by a mile. The only song that could have beaten it
was Enjoy the Day by Katerina Avgoustakis but unfortunately that was

SteN,
Why do you do this??? Of course they called the "Rum" for a clear
political reason. It is a bit complex but the Ottomans purged the
humanists drastically (and many of them left the state) and they
embraced the Hesychasts who, themselves, were strong supporters of the
Ottoman rule. The population overall used the term "Rhomaios" and

Good myth, yet false.
Armenian is the best guess.
David was NEVER A CZAR.
Notwithstanding the fact David was never a tsar, an ambush in a
mountainous area is very likely to succeed.
Greek one - why don't you check up Samuil's inscription - the same one
that some Skopjans read the word "Macedonian" in it.

Just the other day my good friend Prof. Speros Vryonis send me a box
full with speeches (some of those his)
regarding the abolition of the Neo-Hellenic Studies not just in
England but also in Australia.
One of these speeches is from 1999 in "Etudes Balkaniques".
