The historic Greek consulate: Touring the former Greek city of Monastiri (Bitola), FYROM

7/22/2013

0 Comments

 
Up until 1914, Monastiri (today known as Bitola) had an extremely large and vibrant Greek population prior to the city being ceded to Yugoslavia (today a city in the FYROM) after the end of the Balkan Wars 1912-1913. 

In the video, a Greek tour group visits the now abandoned historic Greek Consulate building.

It is currently against the law to self-identify as Greek in the FYROM and are forced to list their ethnicity on the national census as "Macedonian" or "other."

In 197 BC Phillip V of Macedon fought a fierce battle, here, against a Roman army that was determined to destroy him. The stakes were high, both Rome and Macedon were fighting for control of Greece. If Rome won, she would rule the entire Mediterranean world; but Cynoscephalae was not just a battle between two military powers, it was a battle between two ways of fighting. Between the old way of the Greeks and the new way of Rome.

Αφού επί χρόνια συγκέντρωναν στοιχεία για τις περιουσίες που αφήσαν πίσω τους όσοι στερήθηκαν από το Ελληνικό κράτος την Ελληνική ιθαγένεια μετά τον εμφύλιο, αρχές και ΜΚΟ της ΠΓΔΜ αποφάσισαν πρόσφατα να προωθήσουν μαζικά στα Ελληνικά δικαστήρια και στη συνέχεια στο δικαστήριο του Στρασβούργου την διεκδίκησή τους. Ο Τάσος Τέλλογλου ταξιδεύει μέχρι τα Σκόπια για να ερεύνησει γιατί αλλά και πώς η κυβέρνηση της γειτονικής χώρας υποστηρίζει τις διεκδικήσεις αυτές, αλλά και για ποιο λόγο βοηθά την συγκεκριμένη υπόθεση τώρα.
