"Macedonia is one, Greek and non-negotiable"

More than 6,000 Greeks attended a rally at the Alexandrion indoor stadium in Thessaloniki, the capital of Greek Macedonia, on Wednesday, March 5, to protest at the usurpation of the name and legacy of the historical Greek region of Macedonia, by a breakaway statelet of Slavs and Albanians, in the former Yugoslav province of Vardarska - renamed "Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" by Marshal Tito and Stalin in 1945. The rally was organized by the Committee for Macedonian Struggle(CMS) - an umbrella organization for several Greek Macedonian groups in Greece and the Hellenic Diaspora - and by the Metropolitan Bishop of Thessaloniki, Anthimos who also delivered the closing keynote address. The other main speakers were, CMS representative C. Klafas, author Costas Zouraris and the leader of the Dimikratiki Anagennisi party, Stelios Papathemelis. The central motto of the rally was "Macedonia is one, Greek and non-negotiable".
