have you guys heard of the words ethnically cleanse a place of macedonians.Old people were coerced to leave or they would be beaten.Also the albanians would have bought up places worth buying.They would eventually be bullied into leaving.

[QUOTE=Solun;145177]My Baba lived in Gostivar for a period of time about 50 yrs ago. She said she lived in a suburb known as 'risjansko maalo'. When I checked the recent census results for that specific area, there were only 2 or 3 individuals left who identified as ethnic Macedonian. That is of course not to say there are no Macedonians left in Gostivar, there are just hardly any living in what used to be known as a Christian area.[/QUOTE]

Wouldn't 'risjansko maalo' suggest it is the Christian section of a predominantly non Christian area?

Her description was of it as a purely Christian suburb. 50 years ago ethnic Macedonians formed the majority in both Tetovo and Gostivar cities. Even today ethnic Macedonians are close to half in both cities themselves. It is just the large villages you see throughout the whole of the Polog Valley that contain few ethnic Macedonians. A Macedonian village may have 50 people whereas an Albanian village will have over 5,000.

Pogolema tolpa luǵe od pretpladneto stoi na patot so istaknati arapski znaminja i ne dozvoluva da pominat svešetnicite od Makedonskata pravoslavna crkva.

[B]Here it is, the new "church" that is causing uproar among the Muslims in Otkisi, a structure that will be what, 2 by 5 meters?

Are the two dead tree stumps supposed to be symbolic? [/B]

I've seen bigger toilets. But it appears the ethnic Albanians can grasp the symbolism of such a building. The Macedonians by and large have no idea in comparison.

The ojha from Oktisi recorded calling on protest against the construction of the church (video)

p.s. I am not sure if anybody mentioned already that the muslims in Oktisi are not of albanian origin, but Macedonian.They are torbesh-macedonian muslims.

what ever happened to majority rules & democracy like other western democracies.
.After all the descration the muslims have done & then to find torbesh people its just too crazy for words.These so called minorities are supposed to have us over a proverbial barrell over rights.What rights you say when every privelege under the sun has been afforded to them.
