Detsa Begaltsi

[MapleLeaf1]

The biggest propaganda of our recent history is that of the Detsa Begaltsi, the greeks would want the world to believe that the dirty slav communists stole these women and their children
But we have living victims to tell us otherwise, but yet still it is dismissed as skopian propaganda

YouTube - Еxiled Macedonians (Part 2)

[Jankovska]

Hm an article written by somebody, a real person in front of your eyes.
Makedonia you started really getting on my nerves.

[Makedonia]

Kaliroe Gouloumi, Kleoniki Kiprou, Sofia Makri as per the article are also victims of the stolen children.

Why do you choose to disregard their testamonies?

Why would you say it's propaganda , when there are Greeks in Romania and other Balkan countries who Grandparents were taken from their parents and shipped to communist countries. My mother has a neighbour who is Greek from Romania ...who witnessed first hand these abductions.

Of course everything is not black and white, there must have been some children of Greek communists that were sent to eastern Europe, but the bulk of them were and still are Ethnic Macedonians from the Greek part of Macedonia.

I have heard of several versions, one talks of the communist Bulgarians stealing them, the other talks of the retreating Greek communists, and the other talks of the Greek Royalists stealing the kids.

Who stole these children.?

[MapleLeaf1]

What about the version of the greek army( be it communist or royalist) trying to kill the women and children as they fled
No wait that doesnt seem to fit into your so called versions

So the Greek army both communist and royalist stole the children according to your sources Maple.

No Bulgarian army involvement whatsoever?

Absolutely.
And of particular amazement to me is the mother of a friend of mine. He is pure Greek ... his mother comes from Northern Greece (near Salonika), his father from ... ... Constantinople. Well, his Mother used to speak "that language" as a child ... got shipped out to Czech Republic and then came back a pure Greek.

Go figure.
