To Scopia Diaspora_90214_Re Relations between USA and Scopia.

Dear Scopianoi,

Your efforts to lure the new American Administration in favor of your futile cause are commendable. However the new Administration has good advisers, people who know history and can take the right decisions on the name of "Macedonia" , a very old Greek name, which you are trying to usurp and use for your new country. I shall put to you only two questions to make you realize that your efforts and arguments are baseless:

1. Αλέξανδρος and Φίλιππος are two Greek names which you can find written down on several ancient monuments, exactly as I have written them in Greek and not in Slavic characters. Why do you call yourselves Alexandar or whatever you call yourselves? These two name have a meaning and if you refer to any dictionary it will tell you that Αλέξανδρος means one who repels men and Φίλιππος one that loves horses.

2. Αλέξανδρος was speaking Greek and even today deep in Asia you will find descendants of the Macedonian-Greek soldiers to be proud to say that they are descendants of Greek stock and even speak a dialect with numerous Greek words. In Alexandria of Egypt you will find an arch at its entrance with the name of the city written only in Greek "ΑΛΕΧΑΝΔΡΙΑ" and not in Slavic. Anyway if you consider yourselves decedents of the Greek Macedonians why you do not speak Greek and you speak a Slavic dialect? Were you converted to another nationality? Don't you realize that even in your e-mail address you use a Greek word "diaspora", unless you want to claim that this word has been stolen by the Greeks from your language? Why don't you claim that word as "Macedonian" as you claim that Αλέξανδρος was your ancestor?

I am sure that by now you are either convinced that you are not Greek and therefore not descendent of Αλέξανδρος or you will say that the Macedonians in Greece are not decedents of Αλέξανδρος but they are decedents from a race of UFOs. I sympathize with you for trying to invent a history for your young country in order to boost your ego as being a very old and glorious nation.

Kind regards

Odysseas Angelides
