REMEMBERING SOLUN


National.

Yesterday it was exactly 94 years ago that Macedonia has lost the city of Solun to the Greeks officially.
It was on that day when the Greeks conquered Macedonia's biggest city and expelled the Macedonians living there.

For us this was a day of mourning but for the Greeks in Solun a celebration. Public buildings were dressed in blue and white, and a huge military parade was held in the city yesterday.

MD: Sad day in history and it is simply denied by the Greeks. The world has yet to see what happened back then. Today, there are almost no Macedonians left in the city of Solun and the ones who are, are claiming to be Greek now.

The name is Thessaloníki.
Named after Alexanders sister and it clearly means (in modern Greek) Victory of Thessaly (Part of Modern Greece). Go read to learn something you slav.
So pull down our "white tower" your bloody whatever it is or else I'll put my flag oll over skopja.
And the politics won't be able to save you.

PS. You are not allowed to use the Vergina Star and we are not allowed to bomb you.

PS2 You can't change history.

what does the name solun actually mean? And were does it come from?

Thessaloniki is what it has always been called. It comes from the word

Thessali = Thrace
Niki = Victory

The city was founded around 315 BC by the King Cassander of Macedon, on or near the site of the ancient town of Therma and twenty-six other local villages. He named it after his wife Thessalonike, a half-sister of Alexander the Great (Thessalo-nikē means the "victory of Thessalians").

So please tell me blockhead slav how your "Macedonian" city got the name Solun and where the word comes from.

Macedonia is, was and will always be the heart of Greece.

wow, u bulgarians just simply wont learn, despite the massive evidence that macedonia is greek..

thessaloniki is named after Alexanders half sister, how did you get the name solun?

what language did alexander speak, bulgarian? did they call him aleksandar veliki? please..slavs didnt appear till 1000 years after the death of alexander, even your former pm admitted that you have no connection to macedonia.

stop this lie and admit you are nothing but a fabrication, this story cannot continue for long, you wouldnt want to see what real macedonians can do to a gypsie race...

ok. i understand that you need an international identity but you have to make and create your own. Don't try to steal other people history.
