RESOLUTION TO THE UNITED NATION MEMBER STATES

1.We demand that the citizens of FYROM may be free to declare their Greek origins in the census.

[UpperMacedonian]

2.We demand that citizens of FYROM who were forced by extreme regimes to change their last names into Slavic-sounding names, be unbound and unrestricted to go back to their original Greek names if they so desire.

[UpperMacedonian]

3.We demand the recognition of all Greek monuments which were unearthed in the ancient area of Pelagonia (now south FYROM).

4.We demand the recognition of all Greek Orthodox churches in the area of ancient Pelagonia (now south FYROM).

[UpperMacedonian]

5.We demand all attempts to modify Byzantine Orthodox monuments that bear Greek Byzantine writings, such as icons, to cease immediately.

6.We demand that all Greek Orthodox Churches in the area of ancient Pelagonia (now south FYROM) be allowed to operate freely.

[UpperMacedonian]

7.We demand that the citizens of FYROM who claim Greek origins are free to worship in the Orthodox churches, which are under the Serbian Patriarchate, and to not be compelled to attend the schismatic, illegal, and not recognized by any Patriarchate church of the so-called Macedonian Orthodox Church.

[UpperMacedonian]

8.We demand the return or monetary compensation by the FYROM government to the descendants of the Greeks who unwillingly abandoned their ancestral homes, churches, schools and lands during the course of perilous times in the area, and to those whose properties were confiscated by extreme regimes in places such as Bitola, Gevgheljia, Krushevo etc.

[UpperMacedonian]

9.We demand that the Greek cemeteries that stand as silent witnesses of the Greek presence in the area, in places such as todays Bitola, be recognized as such and preserved by the FYROM government as historic monuments.

10.We demand that the Greek language be taught in public schools and financed through the FYROM government in areas where there is a demand.

[UpperMacedonian]

11.We demand that a name, other than Macedonian, is assigned for the official Slavonic language of Skopje. FYROM cannot monopolize the term "Macedonian" in an ethno-linguistic or national context. Historically and linguistically, the official Slavonic language of Skopje (which is akin to Serbian and Bulgarian) is distinctly different from the regional/local Slavonic-like oral dialects used by bilingual Greeks in Greece's border front Macedonian provinces.

[UpperMacedonian]

12.We demand that the Greek government issues passports to Greeks whose origins are traceable to the historic northern Macedonian regions of Pelagonia and Gevgheljia (now south FYROM) regardless of mother-tongue (i.e., Greek, Vlach, Slavonic-like local/ regional dialects, or the official Slavonic language of Skopje).
