Troiro, Greek folk dance

[sguras]

Great job Chana!

[QTMacGirl]

This sounds like Macedonian music

[FYROMINJA]

@QTMacGirl it is from the real Macedonia, Greece . 

[QTMacGirl]

@FYROMINJA

I am talking about the 'Republic of Macedonia' vre. But you knew that. This music doesn't sound Greek.

[bluerose461]

@QTMacGirl This is GREEK music from North Thrace(today belongs to Bulgaria).It has special style both in music and dancing,but it's greek!

[dimitris804]

I love this Greek dance.... it's one of the most dynamic dances...

[voultsides]

My grandfather advised me when i was young :

NEVER TRUST A BULGARIAN EVEN IF HE LOOKS LIKE A FRIEND

Now i know why ;-)

[niokotta]

Anatoliki Romilya is now Northern Thrace which is part of Bulgaria not Greece !

[dimitris804]

@niokotta We know it, but there, lived many Greeks until 1906, and all these dances are Greek...

[niokotta]

@dimitris804 Not so many Greeks lived in Northen Thrace ! Only in Philipopolis,Stanimachos,Ampel­o and Kavakli !

[dimitris804]

@niokotta In these towns lived only Greek population, but in other towns and villages lived together Greeks and Bulgarians... Look, we have no problem with Bulgarians.... We are happy to see that we have so many similarities with neighboors.... And it is normal to have, isn't it?

[niokotta]

@dimitris804 For Stanimachos,Ampelo,Ortakoy and Kavakli you are probably right but as for Plovdiv/Philipopolis the Bulgarians were a majority followed by Greeks ! In Philipopolis lived also many Turks,Jews and Armenians too !

[dimitris804]

@niokotta What i said is that in some town/cities lived only Greeks, and in some other lived together Greeks and Bulgarians.

[niokotta]

@dimitris804 Are you from northern Greece,please ?

[dimitris804]

@niokotta Not, exactly... I am from North-West.... from Epirus but I have some roots from Macedonia, too. Why?

[niokotta]

@dimitris804 Because many Greeks who lived in Northern Thrace and on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria in the past,have settled after 1912-1913,1926 in Northern Greece.

[dimitris804]

@niokotta Yes, that's right.... no I have no connection with them.... But I am learning all Greek dances and I love the dances from Black see.... both Greeks and Bulgarians.... :-) Generally I love the fact that we have so many similarities with neighboors... this make us feel closer....

[niokotta]

@dimitris804 That`s right !

[gkthrace]

@niokotta ALSO IN VARNA, SOZOPOL, NESSEMBER, CARNOBAT, SLIVEN, AHTOPOL,POMORIE ETC...

[gkthrace]

@niokotta IF YOU BULGARIANS KILL ITALIANS AND TAKE ITALY, YOU WILL SAY THAT ITALY IS PART OF BULGARIA AND ITALIAN CULTURE IS BULGARIAN, AND THE ANCIENTS ROMANS ARE BULGARIANS? YOU ARE FINOTATARIANS FROM MOGGOLIA AND YOU CAME TO OUR AREA IN 6th-7th CENTURY.YOU ARE A MIX FROM FINOTATARIAN AND SLAVS.

[niokotta]

@gkthrace YOU TALK BULLSHIT !!! THE ABSURD ''THEORY'' THAT BULGARIANS ARE OF TURKO-ALTAYIC ORIGIN IS CREATED BY EMPERIAL RUSSIA IN ORDER TO TAKE AND CONQUEST THE BALKANS ! NEW SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH OF GENES DENIES THIS OLD AND ABSURD THEORY.ACCORDING TO IT 60% OF BULGARIANS ARE PONTIC TYPE EAST MEDITERRANEAN,25% ARE ALPINID,12% ARE DINARID AND 3% PALEO-CENTRID ! THRACIAN PEOPLE WERE PART OF THE EAST MEDITERRANEAN PONTID RACE !!! IS 60% NOT ENOUGH FOR BULGARIANS TO CLAIM A THRACIAN ANCESTRY ???

[gkthrace]

@niokotta 1st message :DOBRE DEN ORPHEOF (ORPHEUS-ΟΡΦΕΑΣ), HELLO EVRIDIKOVA (EVRIDIKI- ΕΥΡΙΔΙΚΗ), HELLO EVMOLPOF ( EVMOLPOS - ΕΥΜΟΛΠΟΣ), HELLO DIMOKRITOF (DIMOKRITOS - ΔΗΜΟΚΡΙΤΟΣ), HELLO MILTIADOF ( MILTIADES - ΜΙΛΤΙΑΔΗΣ), HELLO THOUKIDIDOF (THOUKIDIDES - ΘΟΥΚΙΔΙΔΗΣ) e.t.c. IF THIS REGION IS BULGARIAN REGION, WHY YOU HAVE CHANGE ALL THE OLD GREEKS NAMES OF YOURS CITIES?!! : PHILIPPOUPOLIS - ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥΠΟΛΙΣ( Bulg:PLOVDIF), PYRGOS - ΠΥΡΓΟΣ (Boulg.:BOURGAS), SILYMNOS- ΣΙΛΥΜΝΟΣ (Boulg: SLIVEN)...?

[niokotta]

@gkthrace THE ANSWER IS VERY SIMPLE, THE NAME PLOVDIV COMES FROM THE SLAVIC NAME OF PULDIN WHICH COMES FROM THE ORIGINAL PELLAZGY-THRACIAN NAME OF PULPODEVA ! HOW CAN PLOVDIV BE NAMED PHILIPOPOLIS AFTER PHILIP 2 OF MACEDON WHO IS NOT ONLY A CONQUEROR OF PULPODEVA BUT ALSO A DESTROYER AND KILLER OF THE LOCAL THRACIAN POPULATION OF PULPODEVA ! THE ANCIENT GREEK HISTORIANS HAVE DESCRIBED VERY WELL THIS TERRIBLE ACT OF PHILLIP OF MACEDON ! HE DESTROYED PULPODEVA AND SETTLED GREEK INTRUDERS HERE !!!

[gkthrace]

@niokotta (3TH) PULPODEVA IS A THRACIAN WORD? MOSCHOVA IS ALSO THRACIAN WORD? VODKA SERKOVA ARE ALSO THRACIAN WORDS? BIG FANTASY!!! PEOPLE THAT HAVE NO HISTORY, STEAL THE HISTORY OF THE NEIGHBOUR! YOUR HISTORY IS RESENT AND INCLUDES ONLY MURDERS OF OTHER NATIONS! THERE ARE NO THRACIANS IN BULGARIA BECAUSE THOSE YOU DID NOT KILL, ARE IN GREECE AS REFUGEES. THOSE THAT STAY IN BULGARIA ARE AFRAID TO DECLARE GREEKS!

[niokotta]

@gkthrace THE NAME ''DEVA'' IN THRACIAN/PELLAZGY LANGUAGE MEANS A CITY ! DO YOU SEE ANY SIMILARITY WITH THE GREEK WORD ''POLIS'' FOR A CITY ??? THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE`S RULING OVER THE BALKANS WAS GIVEN OVER BY THE EMPIRE OF THE SLAVORY-THE ROMAN EMPIRE !!! THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE IS ROME`S SUCCESSOR !

[gkthrace]

@niokotta 2nd VEROE-Βερόη (Bulg: STARA ZAGORA), IAMPOLIS- Ιάμπολις (Bulg: YAMPOL ), STENIMACHOS-Στενήμαχος (Bulg:ASSENOVGRAD),VIISSAPARA - Βισσαπάρα (Bulg:TATAR PAZARTZIK ), PERISTERA - Περιστερά (Bulg: PESTERA ), PANIGYRIS - Πανήγυρις (Bulg: PANAGIOURISTE ), KONSTANTIA - Κωνσταντία (Bulg: HASKOVO), ODYSSOS (Bulg: VARNA), MESSEMVRIA (Bulg: NESEMBER), AGATHOUPOLIS - Αγαθούπολις (Bulg: ACHTOPOL), ANCHIALOS - Αγχίαλος (Bulg:POMORIE) etc etc IF YOU ARE THRACIANS, YOU ARE GREEKS! HELLO BROTHERS!

[niokotta]

@gkthrace I CAN GIVE YOU MANY EXAMPLES OF BULGARIAN NAMES IN NORTHERN GREECE MOST OF THEM BARBARIOUSLY DESTROYED IN 1913-1920 BY THE ''CULTURED'' GREEKS LIKE PHILIP 2 OF MACEDON DID TO PULPODEVA/PHILIPOPOLIS IN 4 CENTURY B.C. ---Кукуш/Κιλκίς,Лѐрин/Φλώρινα­,Во̀ден/Έδεσσα,Доган Хисар/Αισύμη,Горно Броди/Άνω Βροντού,Плевня/Πετρούσσα,Мемко­во/Μέδουσα,Зърнево/Κάτω Νευροκόπι,Просечен/Προσοτσάνη,­Драготин/Προμαχώνας,Аканджали/­Μουριές !!! DO YOU WANT MORE ?

[gkthrace]

@niokotta (1st) IS IT AN ACCIDENT EVENT THAT ALL ANCIENT MAPS OF THE WORLD NAME ALL THESE CITIES AND REGIONS WITH GREEK NAMES? IS IT AN ACCIDENT EVENT THAT THERE IS NO BULGARIAN COUNTRY IN THESE MAPS? IN THE LAST YEARS OF THE OTHOMANIC EMPIRE, YOU GET THE CHANCE AND LIKE THIEVES, YOU GRABBED SOME REGIONS (LIKE NORTHERN THRACE )! IS IT AN ACCIDENT EVENT THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY COUNTRY IN BALKANS THAT WAS ALLIED HITLER (NAZI)? THAT'S WHY HITLER GAVE TO YOU A BIG GIFT: EASTERN MACEDONIA AND THRACE!

[niokotta]

@gkthrace WESTERN/AEGEAN THRACE WAS BULGARIAN POSSESSION BEFORE HITLER !!!!!!THE WESTERN/AEGEAN THRACE WAS A REAL BULGARIAN POSSESSION FROM 1913-1920 LIBERATED FROM BULGARIAN ARMY HEADED BY GERNERAL KOVACHEV AFTER THE FIRST BALKAN WAR WITH THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE ! THE GREEKS GOT IT WITHOUT A BATTLE ,AFTER THE TREATY OF SAN REMO IN 1920,THANKS TO THEIR VICTORIOUS ALLIES IN THE 1ST WORLD WAR - ENGLAND AND FRANCE !!! THE GREEKS WOULD NEVER HAVE GAINED WESTERN IN A BATTLE WITH BULGARIA !

[gkthrace]

@niokotta (2nd) SINCE THEN YOU COERCED THE PEOPLES DO NOT SPEAK GREEK, BUT TO LEARN AND SPEAK ONLY BULGARIANS! THE SLAVIKS NAMES YOU MENTIONED THERE ARE ONLY IN BULGARIAN FASISTICS MAPS! YOURS DREAM IS NOT THRACE, BUT THE SEA OF AEGEAN LIKE RUSSIA, AND YOU WAS SERVISES THE PLANS OF RUSSIA. YOU ARE LIKE DOG BEHIND BOSS. YOU ARE WAITING FOR HIM TO GIVE YOU A PIECE OF BREAD!

[niokotta]

@gkthrace WERE THERE ANY FASHISM IN 1913 AT ALL ??? YOU HAVE TO LEARN HISTORY !  WHY DID THE GREEK ARMY IN 1913 AFTER THE 2ND BALKAN WAR KILLED MANY AND EXPELLED THE REST OF THE BULGARIANS IN THE AEGEAN MACEDONIA FROM THEIR HOMES(THE ONES WITH THE ''SLAVIC'' NAMES) ??? THIS THING IS CALLED ETHNIC CLEANSING !!!!!!!!!!! THIS BARBARIAN ACT OF THE GREEK ARMY IS WELL DOCUMENTED IN THE COMMITION OF CARNEGIE ? DO WANT TO READ IT ?

[messiniamtl]

@niokotta because we can

[attatsis]

Great Greece! BRAVO!

[LedZeppelin005]
