The World Macedonian Congress has in the past proposed the 8-ray version of the ancient Macedonian Sun symbol as the central element of a new Macedonian Coat of Arms. The major political parties in Macedonia don't want to hear about it, for fear that it would be seen as a violation of the Interim Accord with Greece, which explicitly says that our state will not 'appropriate' ancient Macedonian symbols, and for fear of upsetting the Albanian nationalist extremists, who insist that our state symbols should not contain indigenous Macedonian symbols. Now, why would the major parties take this position if the ancient Macedonian 8-ray Sun is already on our flag?
I should mention that the Macedonian Orthodox Community of Sydney, which has always rejected the 'ventilator' flag as a symbol of capitulation and treason, has adopted the 8-ray version of the ancient Macedonian Sun symbol as the central element of its new logo. It can be seen here:
This is only a graphic design for the homepage of the new MOCS website. The site should be operational soon.
