Jane Sandanski: All residents of Macedonia are pure Macedonians

-

 Several sources indicate that the VMRO's left wing, led by Jane Sandanski, nurtured Macedonian national consciousness.

The Greek Eleftherios Stavridis points out in his book "Behind the Scenes of the KPG" from 1953 that Sandanski, originally from Pirin-Macedonia, was one of the so-called "Slavic-speaking Macedonians".

"Sandanski claimed that the time for the liberation of the Macedonian nation came when the Greek, Serbian and Bulgarian nations shook off the Turkish yoke. In order for Macedonia to become a whole and completely independent state, Sandanski preached that all residents without exception are neither Bulgarians, nor Greeks, nor Kutzovlachs (Aromanians), even if they speak a Macedonian-Slavic dialect or a Greek or Kutzovlach idiom ... all Inhabitants of Macedonia are pure Macedonians, descendants of the old Macedonians of Philip II and Alexander ... Sandanski, together with Delchev are the two pioneers of the Ilinden uprising of 1903...became dangerous for Bulgaria" Stavridis wrote.

The Bulgarian chauvinists decided to liquidate him because his sermons were not in their favor, because he refused to allow Macedonia to join Bulgaria. He prevented the Slavic-speaking population of Macedonia from considering themselves Bulgarians and cultivated a Macedonian national consciousness. And his liquidation through an insidious murder was actually carried out by the Bulgarians, says Stavridis further in his work.

The newspaper "Dnevnik" transmits in its article "Sandanski and the Greeks" excerpts from the Greek newspaper "Keri", in which several views of Jane Sandanski are emphasized from the Greek point of view.

In the August 1, 1908 edition, it was stated that Sandanski was the bearer of a great idea that was to attract the attention of the Greeks. He always fought for the freedom of Macedonia and never tried to work for the San Stefano Agreement.

The Greek publicist Tassos Costopoulos states in his work "The Forbidden Language" that Jane Sandanski and Dimitar Vlahov demanded the separation of the Slavic schools from the control of the Bulgarian Church and its state control, while at the same time working to introduce Slav-Macedonian as the language of instruction.

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 were n

MACEDONIA By: Richard Gottheil, Samuel Krauss Country of southeastern Europe; now a part of the Turkish empire. It is the native country of Alexander the Great, who is, therefore, called "Alexander the Macedonian" in rabbinical writings . In Dan. xi. 30 the Macedonians are mentioned under the name "Kittim" (R. V.), and Eusebius and the Hebrew Josephus or Gorionides (Knobel, "Völkertafel, " p. 103) use the same designation .  In the apocalyptic literature this kingdom is known as the "fourth beast" (Dan. vii. 7). The First Book of the Maccabees, which originally was written in Hebrew, also uses the word "Kittim" for Macedonians , and mentions Philip and Alexander (i. 1), as well as Philip III. and his illegitimate son Perseus (viii. 5), as kings of the Macedonians. Since the Greek Syrians style themselves "successors of Alexander," these Syrians also are called "Macedonians" (II Macc. viii. 20). The

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
