"The Greek people are anarchic and difficult to tame. For this reason
we must strike deep into their cultural roots: Perhaps then we can
force them to conform. I mean, of course, to strike at their language,
their religion, their cultural and historical reserves, so that we can
neutralize their ability to develop, to distinguish themselves, or to
prevail. Thereby removing them as an obstacle to our strategically
vital plans in the Balkans, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East, to
all this neuralgic territory of great strategic importance for us, for
the politics of the USA."

Henry Kissinger,the time of the turkish invasion in Cyprus, while
addressing a group of Washington, D.C. businessmen in Sept.1974,
republished from Turkish Daily News in 1997

Though once the heart of the empire of Alexander the Great, (Macedonia) has been for centuries a GEOGRAPHICAL EXPRESSION rather than a political entity, and is today inhabited by an inextricable medley of people, among whom the Serbs, now Yugoslavs, are certainly the least numerous. But a "Federal Macedonia" has been projected as an integral part of Tito's plan for a federated Balkans...taking Greek Macedonia for an outlet to the Aegean Sea through Salonica."
