Official Charter for all groups bearing the exclusive name MACEDONIA as
adopted by their members.
Charter Revision 4.02
So that the newsgroups "alt.culture.macedonia", "alt.news.macedonia",
and "alt.culture.macedonia.moderated" which were created without
support from soc.culture.greek or appropriate discussion in alt.config,
cannot be used for anti-Greek propaganda purposes their members have
declared that they should be deleted from news server active files by
all ISP's.
Until this deletion occurs the members of the groups named above
including soc.culture.greek the parent group of all Greek newsgroups
have voted for the following charter to be enforced.
All newsgroups bearing the exclusive name MACEDONIA are considered as
forums for the discussion of matters relating to the province of
Macedonia in Northern Greece. This should not be confused with the
internationally isolated "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia"
(FYROM) which in 1991 unilaterally declared independence and illegally
usurped the historically Greek name of Macedonia that until then had
only ever been used to refer to territory in the north of Greece which
for 4000 years has been inhabited by Hellenes (Greeks) who can trace
their ancestry back to Alexander the Great. There are no other people
in the Balkans who are ethnically or racially Macedonians except these
Greeks.
The more than 2,000,000 Greeks who live in Macedonia (outnumbering the
Slav inhabitants of FYROM) and the 18 Million Greeks world-wide
consider it as OFFENSIVE and INSULTING to themselves, their ancestors
and kinsmen, and to their Hellenic heritage and inheritance for anyone
but Macedonian Greeks to call themselves Macedonian and the region they
inhabit Macedonia.
The international community including the United Nations and the
European Union supported by very Eminent Historians only recognises the
"Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" by the acronym "FYROM" and NO
OTHER NAME. They believe that FYROM should adopt a name that does not
include the term "Macedonia" or any of its derivatives and that FYROM
must desist from using Greek symbols on its flag and stop teaching
children in its schools the mythos of General Tito which falsely claims
that the FYROMians are the descendants of the ancient Macedonians when
in-reality they are ethnic Bulgarian speaking Slavs that came into the
Balkans in the 6th Century AD (~1000 years after Alexander). For this
reason there is NO short form for FYROM's name except the acronym FYROM.
Additionally no member of the international community nor any
international organisation recognises the FYROMian nationality by the
term "Macedonian", not even the European Court of Human Rights.
FYROM has partially accepted the un-tenability of these false claims by
agreeing to use the acronym "FYROM" as its name and the term "Citizen
of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" to describe its national
inhabitants in all international fora. "FYROM" is the official name
also used by the CIA and all Government bodies world wide to refer to
this entity.
Please use to the correct name for the "Former Yugoslav Republic of
Macedonia" which is FYROM whenever you refer to this entity so as not
to cause unwarranted offence or confusion.
The newsgroups for discussion of matters relating to FYROM are
alt.news.fyrom and alt.culture.fyrom. Please post there if you are from
FYROM
It must be emphasised that information supplied by FYROMian
organisations and representatives in this or other news groups, on the
Internet or directly to you and to media organisations, relating to
their unfounded claims is nothing but propaganda and revisionism that
both Scholars and professional Historians acknowledge as being
unfounded lies of Orwellian proportion designed for internal
consumption and international propaganda purposes.
The official languages of all newsgroups bearing the name "Macedonia"
are English and Greek.

The decision of the EU summit meeting in Lisbon 1992
--------------------------------------------------------------
"The European Council reiterates the position taken by the Community
and its members in Guimaraes on the request of the former Yugoslav
Republic of Macedonia to be recognized as an independent State. If
expresses its readiness to recognize that republic within its existing
borders according to their Declaration on 16 December 1991 under a name
which does not include the term Macedonia. It furthermore considers the
borders of this republic as inviolable and guaranteed in accordance
with the principles of the UN Charter and the Charter of Paris".

FYROM President Kiro Gligorov: "We are Slavs who came to this area in
the sixth century . . . we are not descendants of the ancient
Macedonians." (President of FYROM Ciro Gligorov, from the Foreign
Information Service Daily Report, Eastern Europe, February 26, 1992, p.
35. )
--------------------------------------------------------------
The United Nations strongly disapproves of the use of the name
"Macedonia" by the FYROM and demands that FYROM find an acceptable name
which does not use the name "Macedonia", which belongs to Greece, or
any of its derivatives.
"The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia -- (8 Apr. 1993)
--The General Assembly decided on 8 April 1993 to admit to United
Nations membership the State being provisionally referred to for all
purposes within the United Nations as "The former Yugoslav Republic of
Macedonia" pending settlement of the difference that had arisen over
its name."

--------------------------------------------------------------
Any actions designed to propagate the use of the name "Macedonia" by
the FYROM are considered by the UN as contrary the United Nations
Charter and as attacks upon the sovereignty and territorial integrity
of Greece.
