It is of great interest the great pressure which was begun to be exercised now on the Skopjan issue of its official name for two reasons: primarily for the statements of the different people handling the matter not only on the part of M. Nimitz but also on the part of both the representatives of Greece and Skopje and secondarily for the way the issue is presented by the mass media.
A great danger for the intactness of Greece is, as we have repeatedly analyzed in the matching blog, the issue of how the state of Skopje will be officially named, if it acquires a name of a mixed type with the Greek term Macedonia as its main ingredient, if it is allowed. Afterwards it is the logical consequence to have it demand an exclusivity on the name and possession of any land that is named directly or indirectly Macedonian.
This is now plainly obvious in the overabundance of direct demands by N. Gruevski towards the different international communities regarding Greek vested things.
Following the rule of the exclusivity of names and area names of a country to the country itself, and the existence of this area name within the borders of another country constitutes illegal occupation and trespassing (e.g. his appeal to forbid the use of the name Macedonia from the Airport of Thessaloniki, his appeal to have Skopjan rights on Greek soil, his appeal to appropriate Greek symbols and icons and personalities, and other things that can be claimed only on the grounds of the naming of his state if and only if Greece consents of her own will to it ).
Indirectly yet clearly this is confirmed by two sources with just a little content analysis. M. Nimitz specifically said during an official conference that he urges the Skopjan prime minister to focus only on the issue of the naming and not any other issue he put on the table (some of which we mentioned above), because “the most important thing is to resolve this naming issue and afterwards we will be able to deliberate on/ discuss / resolve/ examine/ face the rest of the matters the prime minister put on the table”. That which is said and announced by this particular man is that the moment the term Macedonia is ensured as the official name of the state of Skopje with the clear and explicit consent of Greece, immediately there will be put forth, based on the international Law which at this time is breached by Skopje and not Greece, issue on any land, fortune, property, cultural identity but also citizenship which at this time is as should be, purely Greek.
The exact same is heard by the Skopjan side, that they are interested at this time to legally found the actually (historically, anthropologically and culturally) illegal for this state name, “and afterwards they will face without a problem all the other claims” of this state.
The fact that despite this state’s boisterous and vivid protestations and claims have so far managed to give this state neither the flag they desire nor legally the name it wants means, as in all legal cases, that because the Skopjan state does not have any actual or legal foothold and right to contest this name and the accompanying rights/ status quo the only thing the state can do IS HOPE FOR A FORFEIT OF THE RIGHT IT COVETS BY THE TRUE HOLDER (I.E. THE GREEK NATION) SO THAT IT WILL BE ABLE AFTERWARDS LEGALLY AND WITHOUT NEED OF CONSENT BY THE GREEK STATE TO APPROPRIATE EVERYTHING WHICH CAN BE DERIVED BY THIS RIGHT WHICH UP TO NOW HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN TO THIS SMALL STATE.
The above condition is simple and a classic case of ownership, use and possession on the basis of the International but also Civil Law. All the legislation without exception vindicates Greece even in the issues of dates of claim or any kind of positive prescription (as the assorted claims of the Skopjans have become officially known very recently and not when they claim they were, since covert actions do not constitute an official founding of a right while the official and clear founding of Greece regarding use and possession of this name is counted in millennia) and therefore the only hope of making true with legal means these different claims by Skopje is the actual giving over of the name with legal procedures (i.e. contracts-agreements with Greek signatures and the actual and free consent of all the Greek People with proof. Let us note that any election result does not constitute proof as the percentages of abstinence, non valid representation and the manner of calculating the result are not representative of the will of the Greek People).
This also can be seen if one closely examines a lot, with different tricks of rhetoric, while the mass media try through the news to assuage the People saying that M. Nimitz is denying to discuss the extra claims of N. Gruefski while in reality he is simply setting to N. Gruefski a time table and a slightly smarter and more legal-seeming organization.
The most worrying thing is that the government representatives (specifically the cabinet of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) do not underline the danger and allow it to be implied that the names which definitely found legally the Skopjan state are about to be accepted (such as the rumoured name North Macedonia and different variations of it without mentioning that North Macedonia makes Macedonia not a name of an area but a name of a state and therefore the state of North Macedonia will want to have East, West and Central Macedonia as well so that the fabricated ‘state of Macedonia’ will be intact land-wise; upon which occurrence the Greek citizens now ‘illegally’ living there will be ousted from that state’s lands so that it will be inhabited by the self-named ‘Macedonian’ Slavic speaking people, exactly in the same procedure and with the same claim made by the Turk colonizers occupying Cyprus against the will of the Greeks living there or even earlier in the case of the Greek since antiquity Asia Minor). If this happens, it will be an act of treason against the Greek Nation and State by specific people that are right now holding positions in the government and diplomacy, including all the people supporting and funding this treasonous behavior, fact which is punished by withdrawal of immunity and enforcing of the capital punishment, according to the constitution and the laws.
