Bulgarian nationalists: Greeks usurp the right to use the name Macedonia
#1
The Bulgarian nationalist party WMRO - Bulgarian National Movement accused Athens of 'appropriating' the name of Macedonia and demanding the right to its exclusive use. According to the Balkan Insight report, the leader of the grouping and defense minister of Bulgaria, Krasimir Karakachanov, said that not only Greece and the Republic of Macedonia, but Bulgaria Sofia has equal rights.

After the Sunday mass demonstration in Thessaloniki against the use of the name 'Macedonia' by Skopje, the Bulgarian party issued a statement entitled 'Greeks, you are not right about Macedonia.' It criticized the slogan 'Macedonia is Greece,' which thousands of Greeks shouted on Sunday.

WMRO stated that it understands Greece's claim that the name Macedonia does not belong to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). Activists, however, do not understand why it can not be used in a complex form.

- We, Bulgarians, can also apply for these names and places, but we do not do this because we believe that the road ahead is a camaraderie and generosity, not another skirmish - read in a statement - Why would Athens want to monopolize ... this name? Do not thousands of people, whom you now call Slavic Hellenes, die with her on the lips?

WMRO accused Greece of wanting to completely usurp the name 'Macedonia', which 'can not be tolerated'.

- We, Bulgarians, naturally stand with our Macedonian brothers in a dispute over the name. And it will be so to the end. But without resorting to violence. No one can completely take away from the Macedonians the right to use the name used by our ancestors. Look for a compromise, but do not fight, warned the Bulgarian nationalists.

The party was formed at the congress on 15 and 16 December 1989 as WMRO-SMD, transformed into WMRO-BND in 1999. Before the early national elections of October 2014, the movement joined the new coalition under the name Patriotic Front. In the next election of March 2017, the party competed under the United Patriots coalition, obtaining for the second time in a row the deputies' representation (11 out of 24 deputies). The leader is Krasimir Karakaczanow
