    call on other countries to demand an end to the undemocratic and racist name change/negotiations and use their power, including Turkey's veto power in NATO and Russia's veto power in the UN, to preemptively stop any discussion about changing Macedonia's name.
    Well Turkey is getting destroyed right now by it's "NATO Partner" the good ole US of A. Seems NATO can protect partners from outside enemies but not from NATO members.

    Good initiative all round. How are the posters being distributed and displayed MHRMI? I suggest pictures of each and every one of them are posted on this thread in addition to being included on the hashtags you mentioned.

      I would like to see every diaspora organisation make a public statement that names each member of sdsm as persona non grata.

      Make it perfectly clear to Zaev and his treasonous band that none of them are welcome to meet with Macedonian diaspora groups, associations and organisations in any corner of the globe.

          MHRMI Informs UN Member-States that Macedonia did NOT Change its Name...

          MHRMI Informs UN Member-States that Macedonia did NOT Change its Name, Calls for Urgent Support to Prevent Western-Imposed Name Change

          Despite illegitimate Macedonian “Prime Minister” Zoran Zaev's attempts to deceive the international community into believing that Macedonia has changed its name, since the head of state, President Gjorgi Ivanov, did not sign the illegal, imposed name change for the Republic of Macedonia, Macedonia has not changed its name. Article 75 of the Macedonian constitution stipulates that all laws be signed by the President.

          Ivanov stated,"My position is final and I will not yield to any pressure, blackmail or threats. I will not support or sign such a damaging agreement."

          He is referring to the Prespa Agreement, which renames Macedonia into “North Macedonia”, redefines the identity and ethnicity of the Macedonian people, even outside the borders of the Republic of Macedonia, mandates the rewriting of Macedonian history to appease Greek and Bulgarian anti-Macedonian policies, and which contains humiliating formulations for the way in which the Macedonian language and nationality are to be described which directly contradict established international law and practice.

          Even the existence of the Prespa Agreement, much less its illegal passing, is unconstitutional as it was also never signed by President Ivanov, a step required by the Macedonian constitution.

          Despite the continued illegalities of their actions, the US/EU-backed Zaev regime proceeded to violate Macedonian law by sidestepping the President and publishing the constitutional amendments mandating the name change in the Official Gazette, thus claiming that the name change has become law. This is akin to US Congress passing a bill, but bypassing the US President's signature and declaring it legal.

          Simply put, if one illegally attempts to pass a law, it is not law. If one violates the constitution, parliamentary rules, criminal code, international law, human rights conventions, democratic principles, and the will of the people in their attempts to impose a law, it is not law. These are the basic principles of democracy and principles that every UN member-state claims to uphold. There is no excuse for any nation to allow the invalid, imposed name change for Macedonia to occur.

          To further illustrate the Zaev regime's violations of Macedonian and international law, Zaev has: Ordered riot police to attack Macedonians who oppose the changing of their name and identity; imprisoned dissenting Macedonians; fired people from public and private-sector jobs; shut down media outlets; blocked social media access for those who oppose them; engaged in ballot-stuffing and mass voting irregularities; ignored the mass rejection by the Macedonian people of the referendum aimed at changing Macedonia's name; ordered government intimidation and investigation of those who are against his policies; imprisoned six opposition MPs – thus making it easier to illegally impose new laws; and, along with US Ambassador Jess Baily, held female opposition MPs in parliamentary chambers against their will, and blackmailed and threatened their family members with imprisonment unless they followed orders to vote in favour of the name change.

          The international community must unite in support of democracy and the rule of law. Therefore, Macedonian Human Rights Movement International calls on all UN-member states to unequivocally call for the end to the forced implementation of the Prespa Agreement, and to proclaim that it does not support any change to Macedonia’s name in the UN.

          Further, we request that a motion be introduced in the United Nations General Assembly demanding that UN principles and the rule of law be upheld (thus removing the additional, illegal conditions in violation of the UN Charter that were applied to Macedonia in 1993), and that the Republic of Macedonia be immediately admitted under its rightful name, thus permanently ending any attempts at changing it.

          We also request that Russia and China, as members of the UN Security Council, to pledge that it will veto any change to Macedonia's name.

          Additionally, we call on Turkey and any other NATO member-state interested in supporting democratic principles and international law to reject any change to Macedonia's name and to veto any membership for Macedonia in NATO under “North Macedonia” or any other name.

          This is not a “diplomatic dispute” as the West quaintly puts it, but a concerted attempt to erase an old and proud people by denying them their most fundamental human rights; those which the countries of the EU and NATO which are attempting to impose this agreement on Macedonia, would not dream of denying to their own citizens. Democratic and progressive forces throughout the world cannot sit by idly and allow this to happen.

            1.5 million people who actually live in that country must have missed the memo.

              They got the memo, but they readily accept the alternative.

                Macedonian-Canadian Community Denounces Illegally-Imposed Name Change on Macedonia

                Macedonian-Canadian Community Denounces Illegally-Imposed Name Change on the Republic of Macedonia

                “The rule of law, democratic principles, human rights and the will of the people” are supposed values that all Western countries espouse, yet they blatantly violate them in the illegal name change forced on the Republic of Macedonia, which changes the name, identity and history of Macedonia and all Macedonians throughout the world. This includes all regions of Macedonia, partitioned in 1913 among Serbia/Yugoslavia (now the independent Republic of Macedonia), Bulgaria, Greece, and later, Albania.

                Eradicating the existence of an ethnic group to appease its oppressors and to satisfy Western interventionism will not be tolerated by Macedonians, nor should it be tolerated by anyone claiming to defend human rights.

                Therefore, the Macedonian-Canadian community:
                • condemns all use of the illegally-imposed name “North Macedonia” on the Republic of Macedonia and the racist term “Northern Macedonian” to refer to Macedonians;
                • condemns use of the 8-rayed flag that was designed to appease our biggest oppressor, Greece. It will be removed from all Macedonian churches, buildings and Macedonian events in Canada;
                • condemns any attempts to change the name of the Macedonian Orthodox Church, including current pressure to remove 'Macedonian' and replace with 'Ohrid Archbishopric'
                • declares that all personnel of the illegitimate Zaev regime to be persona non grata in the Macedonian-Canadian community;
                • demands immediate defence of the Republic of Macedonia's name and our Macedonian identity by the international community;
                • demands that Macedonian politicians end all attempts to appease our oppressors; and
                • demands that Macedonian politicians prevent any change to Macedonia's name.

                We will not accept anything other than the respect of our age-old Macedonian name, identity, ethnicity and history and will not tolerate any attempts to undermine them. Our Name Is Macedonia.

                  Fantastic stuff! Canadian community seems so united compared to most others
                  I know of two tragic histories in the world- that of Ireland, and that of Macedonia. Both of them have been deprived and tormented.

                      I don't know if this was a publicity stunt, but the churches that signed on this still display the ventilator as of yesterday

                        I don't think they ever intended on taking it down. Despite the church board members being made up of members of the United Macedonians executive committee.

                        The community still seems to suffer from a belief that "everything and anything that comes out of (North) Macedonia is unquestionably 100% Macedonian"
