VII - RECOMMENDATIONS
The activity for Free Macedonia could be successfully opposed through elimination of the language in this region. This proves that in Kostour where the use of the local language is fully eliminated this activity is entirely dead. It is necessary for the following to be done: 1. A special state representative with relevant skills to work only on this matter. He will be independent from the Intelligence Service and will cooperate with inspectors, schools, the military, churches, etc. 2. In the State Departments only persons who do not know the local language to be appointed. The same is also valid for the schools. 3. Special workshops to be organized for all state officials and priests who work in this delicate region - Macedonia. 4. A permanent sojourn of state and other officials to be provided securing them with allowances, exemption from taxes, etc. 5. A branch of the cultural organization ,,Aristotelis" to be built in Lerin and to be financially supported for publishing books, papers, journals which to strengthen the national feeling. 6. Special obstacles to be created for those who would like to go to school to Skopje like no recognition of diplomas, no deferment of call up etc. 7. In every village, to be found persons who for payment of wage will struggle against usage of'the local dialect. These should be people having large connections and influence over the local population. 8. The persons who are members of the military forces, intelligence service, state authorities and organizations, born in this region (Lerin) to be moved to other regions of the country. 9. The military management to stimulate the acquaintances and marriages of officers from this region and other regions of Greece with Women from local villages where the local dialect is spoken.

THE TRAGEDY OF 28 000 MACEDONIAN CHILDREN
The battle field of the Greek Civil War 1945-1949 was the Northern part of Aegean Macedonia. So to be saved hundreds of people escaped to the mountains and the children aged between 2 and 14 years age were evacuated by the Humanitarian international organizations into neighboring countries and later settled in all over the world after growing up. I personally have met such compatriots even in Central Asia at the Free market in Tashkent. The war ended long time ago but the refugees stay even now far away from their homeland. Their parents and friends live in Greece but they can not meet their children because for the ,,ethnic Macedonian child" refugees repatriation is forbidden by a special law. On December 28, 1982 the Greek parliament passed Law 106841 which allows only ,,Greeks by origin" to repatriate to Greece. On April 10, 1985 the Greek Government passed Law 1540/ 85 which deals with the return of property of Greek emigrants after the Civil War. Their property confiscated meanwhile can be returned to all Greek emigrants but only if they are ,,Greek by origin". The goal which is pursued is clear: The children grown up abroad neither have right to repatriate to Greece nor to inherit their parents nor to receive property left by them. This legislation breaks the resolutions accepted by UN. On November 27, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations passed resolution 193(111) - The General Assembly recommends the return to Greece of Greek children at present away from their homes when the children, their fathers or mothers, or in his or her absence their closest relatives express a wish to that effect; - Invites all the Members of the United Nations and other States on whose territory these children are to be found to take the necessary measures for implementation of the present recommendation; - Instructs the Secretary-General to request the International Committee of the Red Cross and the League of Red Cross Crescent Societies to organize and ensure liaison with the National Red Cross organizations to adopt measures in the respective countries for implementing the present recommendation; Why the Greek Government refuses 46 years already to implement this Resolution? Because these already grown up children would speak in their mother tongue, Bulgarian, instead of Greek. And this is absolutely unacceptable for the long term Greek denationalizing policy because the entire Greek policy is based on lies, terror, frauds and the delusion for the „Hellenic origin" of Macedonian Bulgarians will crash.
GENOCIDE OF MACEDONIAN CHILDREN
My personal acquaintance Christo Lagadinov sent us from USA a letter which had been published also in the "Macedonian tribune" newspaper published in Fort Wayhe town, No. 3157 from November 4, 1993. In this letter this suffered and hero Bulgarian writes ,,In 1948 I and five fellows were in the most awful camp in Macronisio island. We had been used as brick-setters in the kitchen on the port. One early morning a small ship arrived from which 50 boys between 13 and 17 were forced off. Everybody brought a basket or a bag with his old clothes. The camp commandant - the bloodsucker colonel Toma Silu started his speech: We brought you here for re-educating. You are children of Mother
Hellene and everybody must sign a declaration that he is not ,,Bulgarico guriny" (Bulgarian swine) but is aproud Orthodox Greek". As if by miracle all children answered in chorus ,,We are Bulgarian" . The commandant tried more time again promising liberty and good meal but all children struck up again „We are Bulgarian". Then the commandant started crying like mad: "0li sti talassa" (Everybody into the sea). They were thrown stones at. Half an hour later the commandant ordered them to come out but not all,children came out some of them were drowned. Still the same night the children had been put to terrible tortures. This went on for 10 more days, then they went on board half-dead to be moved to a hospital in Athens. Before that the children had taken down different sharp objects like forks, knives, etc. in order to kill themselves. These children were from the Kostour region.

All for reaching the planned goal - the mother tongue to be forgotten - in 1980 a regulation was issued charging the parents to bring their children 3-4 years old to go to the so-called "Integrated Kinder Gardens" solely in order to prevent learning the mother tongue since the early childhood. Such regulation was not applied in other Greece regions.
The battle field of the Greek Civil War 1945-1949 was the Northern part of Aegean Macedonia. So to be saved hundreds of people escaped to the mountains and the children aged between 2 and 14 years age were evacuated by the Humanitarian international organizations into neighboring countries and later settled in all over the world after growing up.
