Dear Ms Walsh,

bla bla ...

   The Macedonian population of northern Greece has fallen from over
                                                                ^^^^
one million in 1913 when Greece took over 51 per cent of Macedonia
^^^^^^^^^^^
to about 300,000 today. Many of these migrants fled to Australia.

more bla bla ...

He, Mr. Bivell, hasn't even studied his homework from his propaganda
home Skopjia. And then he is expecting anybody to take him seriously
on what he tries to mumble! 

Oh well! At least he doesn't claim any Ph.D in ancient history; he
just tries to help :-)))!

Let's see what the official Skopjia says about the population in
Northern Greece in 1913. (Notice the obvious: No bulgarian mentioned!)


========================================================================

Simovski, T., "The  Balkan  Wars and their Repercussions on the Ethnical 
Situation  in  Aegean  Macedonia", Glasnik, Vol.XVI, No.3, Skopje, 1972.

Population  figures in  Aegean Macedonia, just before the Balkan Wars of 
1912, which saw the liberation of the areas from Ottoman rule:


Macedonians        326,426           Jews                         59,560
Turks              289,973           Vlachs                       45,457
Greeks             240,019           Muslim Macedonians (Pomaks)  40,921


Gypsies             29,803           Christian Turks               4,240
Muslim Greeks       13,753           Muslim Vlachs                 3,500
Muslim Albanians     5,584           Christian Albanians           3,291


Cherkez (Mongols)    2,112
Others               8,100
Total            1,072,739

========================================================================


So, one million was at the most all the population of Northern Greece.
The Skopjians (actually Bulgarians) were AT THE MOST one third of it...!!!

I know! I know! By blowing up the numbers by an order of magnitude helps
"our brave men" to feel even better :-))).

VIVA LA SKOPJIA! ORTSA LA PANTA!


Ciao!
