Pakistan's Hunza: We are proud to be Macedonians and we are not Greek

-
Interview by Zoran Coseski with Mr- Safder Karim a Hunza student at the Sydney University
Mr- Safder Karim 

Where are the Hunza and Kalash people from and where do they live?

The people of Hunza and Kalash are the ancestors of Alexander the Great. The great Alexander was the king of Macedonia. So logically we migrated from Macedonia to Hunza and we are the generation of Alexander 's army who never returned to Macedonia.

What is your view about the Greek cultural centres being opened in the Hunza and Kalash regions?

There are no Greek cultural centers opened in Hunza Amit in Kalash and we won't let anyone to open any centres of their culture if they are not Macedonian. We are proud to be Macedonian and we are not Greek.

Is your heritage Greek or Macedonian?

I m totally confused why Greeks think that we are Greeks . Alexander was Macedonian so to clarify everything, our ancestors were Macedonians not Greeks. The Greeks have tried very hard to make us Greek but they won't get us to become Greek. We belong to the Macedonian culture and to Macedonia. We never mix with any other culture .In the ancient world there was no country called Greece, there was a Macedonian kingdom with a king and a city states around Athens.

Tell us about your Language?

Our language is very similar many words are similar. we speak Burushaki language. This language is only spoken by the people of Alexanders descendants in today's Pakistan.


What message do you have for the Macedonian people around the world?

There are many things I would love to tell the Macedonian community firstly we are Brothers and the children of one father, our culture is the same our language is the same our music is also the same. We can't change our Macedonian identity, no one can change their identity. I would say that there must be opportunities for the people of Hunza and the people of Macedonia to take steps to build relationships between Hunza and Macedonia because there are many other other cultures like the Greeks who trying to show that we are Greeks. There should be a proper set up for the students of Hunza to go to Macedonia and get an education and also learn the Macedonian language. When they get back to Hunza they can teach the Macedonian language. There are many things to build relationship between Hunza and Macedonia and we must take step now. We love our brothers and we are proud to be descendents of the great KING ALEXANDER of Makedon. So time to show unity time to be one its time to find opportunities to make the boundaries closer to each other.

At the end I would Say long live Hunza long live Macedonia and long live our brotherhood

Letters by Greek soldiers about the massacres in Aegean Macedonia - 1913

The Hellenic army is burning all slavophonic villages and kills all slavophones it captures! It can be seen from the letters by Greek soldiers sent from the front the horror that the Macedonian population in the towns and villages under Greek occupation faced. The bloody collection of about hundred letters should have been delivered to the addresses through the Greek Army’s military post office, but after it was captured by the Bulgarian Army in Razlog on 14 July 1913, the letters were made public. It is a fearsome collection of authentic testimonies that were taken to the State Archives in Sofia in 1913, as Ljubomir Miletic PhD claims. In those letters, the Greek soldiers bragged to their relatives and friends that they hadn’t left a single Slavophone alive wherever they went, that they had raped all the Slavic Macedonian women and that they had burned all the Slavophonic villages. One hundred years ago After the Ottoman army left Macedonia, Serbs, Bulgarians and Greeks wante...

'Alexander the Slav' by Universumskristall Blog

  We found an very interesting article published by a German speaking Polish Blog, named Universumskristall ( Universe crystal ). We thought, it is worth translating and of course for You, it is much worth to read it... Alexander the Slav by Universumskristall Blog Alexander the Great is an ancient ruler who we believe we have a thorough knowledge of. Hardly anyone has exercised such a fascination on people as he and despite many reports and testimonies, one fact has not been sufficiently taken into account until today, namely that the people from which Alexander was descended actually had little to do with the Greeks. Generations of historians tried to convince people that Alexander was a Greek. It was mentioned here and there that he was a Macedonian ruler, but Western historiography has always considered him and his people to be part of a Greek culture. That is of course not true. The ancient Macedonians and Greeks share a common past, but at the time of Alexander the difference...

History: Macedonia was never a part of the ancient Hellenic city-states

One of the steps in the Scientific Method of Investigation is the publication of your obtained results. This is done, so that others by repeating the same experiment using same methodology may independently arrive to the same conclusion and verify whether it is true what you have accomplished with your own hypothesis. Once many independent laboratories—through their scientific research—confirm your results, then, the hypothesis that you have proposed becomes accepted and your findings acknowledged.  I have said before, and I stand by my assertions that: (a) Macedonia was never a part of any ancient Greek city-state, nor were the ancient Macedonians ever considered by the ancient Greeks or by themselves, to be Greek. (b) Macedonia was never a member of any Hellenic League. Macedonia was not a member of the Greek Amphictyonic League either. Fact is that membership into these leagues was reserved for Hellenes only. And since Macedonians were not considered Hellenes, they we...
