Basta of the northern Macedonian melodrama
There are
things you can't back down from. There are battles that echo in eternity. There are things you can't back
down from. There are fronts that do not surrender. There are trenches that do
not leave. There are flags that are defended to the last man. There is a past
without which there is no future. There are red lines that do not cross. Our
northern Macedonian neighbors must be told clearly, precisely and
categorically.
We will not
lose the honor won in the battles of the Bulgarian king Samuel. We will not
erase the memory of the pain of his blinded soldiers. We will not forget its
Bulgarian capital Ohrid.
We will not
back down from the fact that Gotse Delchev is a Bulgarian national hero. We
will not betray the front to the heroes from Doiran, who died for the national
unification of the Bulgarians. We will not leave the trenches of the great
Bulgarian officer Boris Drangov.
We will not
hand over the battle flags to the thousands of Bulgarian soldiers who laid
their bones on Kaimakchalan and the turn of Cherna, near Krivolak and the Red
Wall.
Dear
neighbors, do not cross the red line, behind which no mixed commissions and no
political elites will help you. The commissions meet, the elites negotiate, but
the nations help. Especially when one nation has given birth to two states.
The
foundations of what is today defined as a modern Macedonian nation are the
Bulgarian genes, the Bulgarian letters, the Bulgarian language and the
Bulgarian blood. Blood shed on the battlefields of Macedonia and for Macedonia
by the Bulgarian revolutionaries and the Bulgarian soldiers. Blood flowing to
this day in the veins of people from Ohrid to Prilep, from Skopje to Bitola.
Without
Bulgaria's past, there will be no European future for Northern Macedonia. At
most one day to dawn like Southern Serbia or Eastern Albania.
The choice
is theirs. Basta of this melodrama. There are battles that should not be lost
for millennia.
