The Pan-Macedonian Association's Resolution 2007 Print E-mail
Friday, 06 July 2007

The Pan-Macedonian Association of the USA in a duly convened meeting at its 61st National Convention held on June 26 to July 1, 2007 in the city of Baltimore, MD, USA, decided the following:

1. We remain deeply disappointed and strongly oppose the unfortunate decision of our US Government to recognize The FYROM by the name of “Republic of Macedonia”

2.The Pan-Macedonian Association expects from the Greek Government, the Political Leadership of Greece, the United States Government, and the rest of the International Community that the final agreed upon name of the country of The FYROM, should clearly differentiate the residents of that country from us, the Macedonians.
3.The name Macedonia is unquestionably a historical and cultural heritage of Greece. The history of Macedonia and particularly its name are NOT NEGOTIABLE and as a paternal legacy cannot be ceded to third parties.

4.We expect that the permanent name of the country of The FYROM shall express its multiethnic nature and shall permit all its inhabitants to co-exist peacefully.

5.We shall never accept, for the country of The FYROM, any name that will include the term Macedonia or any of its derivatives.

6.We demand that the people of Hellenic origin residing in The FYROM be accorded all their human rights.

7.Historically the Macedonians are Hellenes.
8.The Macedonian identity belongs to those who feel Hellenes from the province of Greece, Macedonia.

9.It is our sacred duty to continue our struggle for the rights of Macedonia. History demands it.

10. We fully support the existence of a country north of Greece with the interim name of The FYROM. We support her efforts to join the EU and NATO, provided her official name does not include the term "Macedonia" or its derivatives. Further, we harbor no animosity or any ill feelings towards her citizens or her diaspora.
