Macedonians participated in the Greek National Assembly of 1827
Today we will display a number of new documents!! We discovered in the Library of the Academy of Athens, 2 incredibly valuable letters which completely shatter Slavic claims. The letters undoubtedly prove that Macedonians, since being Greeks, were participating in the Greek National Assemblies, even as back as the Ethnosyneleusis of 1827!!!
The first letter, dating from 7th April of 1827 is directed to Ioannes Kolettis and Gr. Soutzos, the persons who would later represent the Macedonians in the Greek National Assembly. The following reference is characteristic where it is shown the Greekness of Macedonians and their “legitimate wish” to be represented in the Greek National Assembly “to the Benefit of the country and the Nation“.
“Επειδή επληρωφωρήθημεν, ότι η συνέλευσις, αρχίζει και γίνεται, έκρίνα μεν εύλογον και ημείς, τα μακεδονο-ολυμπιακά άρματα ινα συναγωνισθήτε καί η εκλαμπρότης σας, μαζύ μέ τον …………..και την συνέλευσιν εις την συνέλευσιν προς ωφέλειαν της πατρίδος και τού έθνους καί σας έχωμεν πληρεξουσίους, στό να παραστήσετε στας παραμικράς μας εκδηλώσεις”
The second letter with date 7th April of 1827, is being sent to the Administrative Commitee of Greece (” Διοικητική Επιτροπή της Ελλάδος “) and it is announced the election of Ioannes Kolettis and Gr. Soutzos as Representatives of the Macedonians in the Greek National Assembly but also after it before the Administration.
