CONCLUSION

ALL COUNTRIES AND NATIONS THAT HAVE AN OLD CULTURAL STRATEGY MANAGED TO SURVIVE. WHAT HAPPENED TO US MACEDONIANS?

So, while Zahariadis and his cronies were building a “new world” with a lot of help from the Macedonians, they were also “trampling on the dignity of the Macedonian people” by lying to them and playing with their “national feelings” and by persistently denying their national identity. And at the end they told them that they were not welcome; not even on their own ancestral lands...

Then when they thought that it was all over and behind them, the Macedonians were again confronted with years of dirty slogans; swept by the red storm; filled with dark thoughts and robbed of their destiny. And not that there was any truth to it, but they were also called “intruders”.

After the disastrous Greek Civil War ended, Zahariadis, who was a power figure and a myth, a strategist of the revolution, made an assessment after the fact about the war, but now not with a violent political speech (that was what he was known for), but with a justification for himself before history. All the leaders justified themselves in almost the same way, including NOF, AFZH the CPG and the CPM/CPY. Some of these leaders saw themselves as the only devotees of truth, even though they committed obvious violence against history. Unfortunately a significant part of events and personalities that were part of the Macedonian past in the Aegean part of Macedonia, to this day, have remained and have not been fully explained.

From one lie to another, lie after lie, Zahariadis gave us his assessment of the war. But what does that mean for us Macedonians who were given a one-way ticket out and were permanently exiled from our homeland?
