Milenko: Greece wants debt removed to approve Macedonian name change

The Macedonian quislings in the SDS and DPNE are not an obstacle for the name change, instead the real issue are Greek demands towards Berlin, London and Paris – reports Milenko Nedelkovski on his blog.
“Here is the situation: There are the traitors Zaeb, homo-Dimitrov and their CIA handlers on one side, and Tsipras and the same CIA handlers on the other side, who are allegedly stuck in the name negotiations. Then there are CIA contractors Borisov and Rama who assist as much as they can, while USAid through its player Soros are the main financiers of the media who are selling the name change. The Albanians are per their usual, cannon fodder and proxies for the CIA whose main job is to provoke and insult Macedonia and Macedonians – says Milenkovski.
According to the popular Macedonian journalist, and repeated here at MINA dozens of times, Macedonia does not have opposition, the DPNE is completely under control of the US Embassy. “Why are the DPNE losers waiting for the end of May to s…

New evidence: in the 70’s Greece had no problem with our country’s name Macedonia

-
Image
Christopher Purdef, an orthodox deacon from the US state of Ohio, posted on Twitter a map of former Yugoslavia in the mid-1970s, which says Macedonia about the then southernmost republic.

“As I was saying, Greece didn’t have a problem with Macedonia in the 70’s”, he wrote.
A little later Purdeff gave a new argument about the Greek attitude towards the identity of its northern neighbor from four decades ago – an excerpt from a book in which the languages of the then SFRY, including the Macedonian, were listed in Greek.
