Preface
This work, which was first published in 1988, in Greek, by the Greek
Committee for Southeast European Studies, had two aims; firstly to
promulgate a broader awareness of the Macedonian Question and secondly
to help confront the intensifying propaganda of Skopje, using
scientifically based facts. At the conclusion of the work it was then
noted that "there was an urgent need to examine all matters relating to
the Macedonian Question minutely and in detail, using objective
scientific criteria, in order to restore the historical truth."
Since then, radical developments have made a second edition, updated
and supplemented with current facts, essential. This second edition is
published alongside English, French and German translations by the
Ionian University.
I would like to thank the following for their contributions to this
publication: Professor Elly Yiotopoulou-Sicilianou and Professor Linos
Benaki, President and Vice President of the Ionian University, Mr. Elias
Kizirakos, Hans Schlumm and A.-G. Alexakis, members of the Department of
Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting of the Ionian
University, who translated this work into English, German and French
respectively. I would also like to thank Mrs. Margaret Swanberg for her
assistance and Mr. Ioannis Diamantopoulos, who drew the maps.
