Why did U.S. and Canada recognize Macedonia? Did they ruin their relations with Australia?

Australian-Macedonians need to get more active and push for Australia to recognize Macedonia as Republic of Macedonia. We need more action, and less talk on forums. Don't attack UMD for pushing the Australian government to recognize Macedonia.

UMD, Only an absolute idiot would attack UMD for pushing the Australian Government to Recognize Macedonia, it would be our ultimate goal believe me but if you ever come to Australia and go around Melbourne and Sydney by far the two biggest cities in Australia you will feel the full force of the Greek Lobby. They Finance the biggest political parties Labor and Liberal, they spend alot of money to lobby this is why Australia is the only country in the world to recognize us as Slav Macedonians.

Look at it from an Australian point of view, whats in it for them if they recognize us?? Bofore Nikola Gruevski arrived in Australia a good two months in advance the Greeks were already pushing the panic button while we didnt even know how to greet him.

We need to strengthen our relations with Australia this is a must, however it needs to be done the right way and something needs to be done for Australia in order for them to recognize us. There is an old Aussie saying, Theres no such thing as a free lunch so i commend the UMD for at least considering to find a way to reach out to Australia as this is a major step however expect some major reactions from the Greek Lobby thats all im saying in other words prepare to get your hands dirty.

As for Canada and USA recognizing our name, well Rogi suggested that we swap our vote for name recognition which doesnt really make alot of sense since the Greeks will Already back Australia and expect Cyprus to aswell not to mention Bulgaria so thats 3 countries to one, our vote to Australia for the security council will be nothing more then a bonus its not going to have alot of value its one of those votes where you would want to have however if you dont get it there is no sweat over it..

George W Bush and company recognized Macedonia as a result of you being an " ally against terror "

Not to mention Camp Bondsteel and the then Neo-Con policy of rewarding nations that went along with " war against terror ". Which btw happened to be the worst administration of the US in decades. The Neo-Cons failed miserably and put the US in a complete decline.

I remember seeing pictures of Rumsfeld going back and forth from Macedonia and the US. Im surprised Karamanlis didnt see that coming.

No, Macedonia is not Hellenic but rather Macedonian.

[UMDiaspora.org]

Of course Macedonia is not Hellenic and never has been! That is why we should vote NO on that poll.

[Daskalot]

Chicagoan, you seem quite knowledgeable about American politics so I will assume that you have been living in the US, is this correct?

[The LION will ROAR]

I use to go to that forum...and still at times i do...
But those Greeks who post there are the most racist Mther F@#kers i've ever seen..
They always out number the Macedonians and all they know is insults and threats..
Maybe we all should go on to this forum for a day... and teach them a lesson...

[Risto the Great]

Great, more Greeks than Macedonians ... and winner is .... bullshit.

Greece was recognised under what motivations 180 years earlier?

If you want to get involved in UMD's work in Australia, including our campaign calling on Australia to recognize Macedonia by her constitutional name, contact UMD Director of Australian Operations, Ordan Andreevski at [email protected].

That is one of the biggest racist and dud forums going around, I have coded the link, no need to give exposure to such a filthy website.

A better question might be who does UMD represent and what does it stand for ?

Continued negotiations ?
Name changes ?
Support for FYROM ?
Support for the 2001 Framework Agreement ?
Rejects our links to the ancient Macedonians ?

These are questions!

UMD supports Greece withing the current framework of the negotiations. I would argue it therefore supports the proposition that Macedonia can be Hellenic too, even though its clever spin and rhetoric will suck some of the more gullible Macedonians into thinking otherwise.
