Σάλο έχουν προκαλέσει στα Σκόπια οι δηλώσεις της Gabriela Arsova-Miloshevska, προέδρου του Σκοπιανού κόμματος Republican Alliance που φιλοξενούνται σε άρθρο στην Washington Times. Η Miloshevska, ούτε λίγο ούτε πολύ, καλεί τους συμπατριώτες της να αλλάξουν το όνομα, την σημαία και τον εθνικό ύμνο των Σκοπίων για να έχουν ένα καλύτερο μέλλον!!!
“Νομίζω οι άνθρωποι θέλουν κάτι καινούριο“, δηλώσε σε πρόσφατη συνέντευξη της.
“Από την μία, οι άνθρωποι θέλουν να ενταχθούν στην ΕΕ, αλλά από την άλλη δεν θέλουν να λύσουν το πρόβλημα του ονόματος”, παραδέχτηκε.
“ Έτσι θα πρέπει να τους εξηγήσουμε τον λόγο που είναι σημαντικό, γιατί χωρίς να λυθεί το ζήτημα της ονομασίας, δεν πρόκειται να έχουμε οικονομική ανάπτυξη.”
Είπε επίσης πως τα Σκόπια χρειάζονται μια νέα σημαία. “Η τωρινή υπάρχει από το 1995, αλλά η Αλβανική μειονότητα, η οποία αποτελεί το 1/4 του πληθυσμού την έχει απορρίψει.“
Ταυτόχρονα πρόσθεσε πως ο εθνικός ύμνος των Σκοπίων πρέπει να φύγει. Όπως αναμενόταν οι δηλώσεις της έχουν κάνει έξαλλους τους Σκοπιανούς, πολλοί εκ των οποίων, μιλάνε στα διάφορα sites κοινωνικής δικτύωσης για “προδοσία”, ενώ άλλοι δείχνουν να αντιλαμβάνονται πως οι σφαλιάρες προερχόμενες από τις ΗΠΑ, τείνουν να γίνουν καθημερινότητα.

***Το άρθρο της Washington Times αναδημοσιεύεται με τις απαραίτητες διορθώσεις "FYROM" *** Macedonia is 20 years old, if you’re talking about the former Yugoslav republic. Or it’s thousands of years old, if you’re talking ancient history.
The country clearly has an identity crisis.
Now the leader of a new political party in "FYROM" believes she has a way to solve the problem and end a diplomatic dispute with neighboring Greece - which objects to its name, its symbols and its claims to the past.
Gabriela Arsova-Miloshevska, founder and chairwoman of the new Republican Alliance, wants to change the country’s name, flag, seal, national anthem and, she hopes, its.....
future.
“I believe that people are ready for something different,” she said in a recent interview.
Ms. Arsova-Miloshevska, a former member of the ruling conservative party’s executive committee, said she supports the current government’s quest for membership in the European Union and NATO but added that "FYROM" first must solve domestic disputes and settle its disagreements with Greece.
“To achieve integration in Europe, we must first achieve integration at home,” she said,.
"FYROM", with a ethnically diverse population of 2 million, is one of seven states to emerge from the rubble of Yugoslavia in 1991. However, it ran into an immediate conflict with Greece, which has a northern province also named Macedonia.
Both countries have ancient claims to Philip II of Macedon and his son Alexander the Great, arguably the most famous military leader of the ancient world.
Greece objected to "FYROM"’s membership in the United Nations until it agreed to enter under the temporary, if cumbersome, name of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). Greece also demands that "FYROM" change its name to something acceptable to Athens before "FYROM" is admitted to the European Union.
Greece, a NATO member, also has sway over "FYROM"’s desire to join the Western military alliance.
“People want to get into the EU, but they don’t want to resolve the problem of the name,” Ms. Arsova-Miloshevska said.
“So we have to explain to them why this is important because without resolving this problem, there is not going to be economic growth.”
She also said "FYROM" needs a new flag. The current one was redesigned in 1995 because of a dispute with Greece about a historical symbol related to Philip and Alexander, but the ethnic Albanian minority, which makes up about a quarter of the population, has largely rejected the new flag.
“We would like to ask everybody [for their ideas on a new flag] and see the different options,” she said.
The national anthem also needs to go.
“The national anthem we have now is from when the FYROMians were fighting against the Turks,” she said, referring to the conflict with the Ottoman Turkish Empire before World War I.
“It’s fixed in one period in time.”
