Gruevski: Greece Shows No Interest for Discussions at any level

Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski considers that Saturday’s responds by the Greek PM Lucas Papademos and President of the Greece’s New Democracy party Antonis Samaras are the most radical positions of Greece in its history regarding the name issue.

The positions presented by its Prime Minister and Samaras' refusal to meet are acts which point out that they have no intention to deal with joint problems. They avoid meetings in every way and on every possible level, PM Gruevski said answering journalist question after cornerstone laying ceremony for construction of new “Stiv Naumov” student dormitory in Skopje.

If the international community puts pressure on the Greeks, Prime Minister Gruevski believes according to intentions they have showed thus far, they would pretend to meet with us or negotiate because if one wishes sincerely to tackle a problem they will do so without anyone pressuring them.

– One who is concerned with the situation and wants to resolve an issue, it will not wait for international pressure and afterwards pretends to negotiate, pretends to be generous, pretends to make great efforts, but of course in the end will blame the other side for being very rigid, Gruevski said.

The PM explained that talks are sabotaged with ultra radical positions by the Greek side, adding the southern neighbor is well aware their positions are not accepted by anyone in Macedonia, neither from the Government nor from the opposition, and especially not by Macedonians. PM Gruevski said he was considerably concerned with Greece’s behaviour, and their position obviously inclined with the intention of holding no talks.

-If the talks would begin in the following period according to what I see, in terms of their behaviour, we'd enter the so called "blame game", i.e. they would try to show in every way how hard they are trying, but that we are not thankful for those efforts and do not respond adequately, Gruevski said.

He also expressed concern that this new political team in Greece not only that does not have sense for this issue, but have also made numerous steps backwards.

Regarding journalist question to comment speculations on possible Greece abandoning the Interim Agreement, Gruevski said that the two individuals who were commenting on the issue are in a way in direct correlation with the Greek Foreign Ministry and the message was intended for our friends, not necessarily for us.

Gruevski did not want to comment the possibility Macedonia to become NATO member at the Summit in Chicago on May.

It was obvious that member-states at the Bucharest Summit passed a decision, which was a result of previous illegal steps by one of their member. From this aspect we will see how this will be respected by the Alliance, he said.

Gruevski underlined that even after the ICJ ruling Greece still shows that it does not intend to resolve the name issue.

Whether NATO will show respect towards the International Court of Justice, we shall see in May, at the NATO Summit in Chicago, PM Nikola Gruevski stated.

Samaras refuses Meeting with Macedonian PM for second time 

No Greek official has accepted an invitation from Macedonia's Foreign or Prime Minister after the Hague ruling. 

The president of the Greece’s New Democracy party Antonis Samaras responding to the letter of PM Nikola Gruevski, implies that due to ongoing negotiations between two Governments he does not believe that such a meeting would presently be advantageous.

The most prudent way to proceed would be, at the moment, to further encourage the existing procedure of official talks described by the 1995 Interim Accord in order to solve the name issue as soon as possible; a development which, I am certain you also agree, would have positive consequences to our greater region, Samaras said in a letter.

- I am obliged, though, to point out the systematic actions of your Government and Officials of FYR Macedonia, place obstacles to the above mentioned procedure. I would thus strongly encourage you to adopt a positive approach towards this important issue our two Governments are faced with and have agreed to resolve, reads the letter by President of New Democracy Antonis Samaras.

THE GREEK HERACLES WAS A BLACK MAN AND THE AFRICAN INFLUENCE ON GREEK AESTHETICS

By Samuel David Ewing It has occurred to me lately as I pondered about the next article for this section that the lineage, pedigree, or family tree of the Greek Heracles must be clarified once and for all. Diodorus Siculus and Herodotus recorded that it was the Egyptian Heracles who was the hero who performed the legendary 12 Labors, subdued the animals of the wild that had threatened the people, ushered in the building of cities, water systems, fortifications, and laws. Walter Burkert has estimated that this original Heracles was renowned as far back as 20,000 years ago. The Greek Heracles ended up receiving honors for the accomplishments of his predecessor, having the title of "Heracles", furthermore by the Bronze Age of Greece in which the Greek Heracles was said to have lived the taming of the wilderness had already been accomplished. The Greek Heracles was not likely to be wearing lion skin armor, wielding a club, with spear as weapons, and the danger of lions ru

Griechenland: 2,5 MRD Euro Stromschulden – Versorger schaltet bald erste 50.000 Kunden ab!

-
In Griechenland wird der staatliche Stromversorger in Kürze damit beginnen in einem ersten Schritt 50.000 Stromkunden den Saft abzudrehen. Die Außenstände belaufen sich insg. auf 2,5 Milliarden Euro. Betroffen werden vor allem Firmenkunden sein. Eine Katastrophe für die (vorhandene?) Konjunkturerholung. Es gibt einen handfesten Grund, warum die Höhe der Stromrechnungen in den letzten Jahren explodierte… Griechenlands staatlicher Stromversorger PPC hat Außenstände bei Stromkunden von insg. 2,5 Milliarden Euro, 1,8 Milliarden davon bei gewerblichen Kunden. Schulden haben insg. 2,1 Mio Stromkunden in Griechenland. Wenn man das umlegt auf die Gesamtsumme, wären das rein rechnerisch 1.190 Euro Schulden pro Stromkunde, aber bei 1,8 von 2,5 Milliarden Schulden durch gewerbliche Kunden dürften die Privatkunden natürlich deutlich kleinere Summen offen haben. In einem ersten Schritt will PPC demnächst 50.000 Stromkunden den Saft abdrehen nach vorheriger Mahnung, so berichtete es vor Kur

Griechenland: Sozialkassen schaffen parallele Staatsverschuldung

-
FMW-Redatkion Die Sozialkassen in Griechenland schaffen derzeit eine Art parallele Staatsverschuldung. Da die annehmen, dass ihre Löcher aus den jetzt fließenden 86 Milliarden Euro vom 3. Hilfspaket nicht gestopft werden, haben sie angefangen in Eigenregie Kredite aufzunehmen. Da sie Rentenfonds, Krankenkassen etc staatliche Einrichtungen sind, erhöht sich damit per Saldo die Staatsschuldenlast Griechenlands noch weiter, auch wenn der Staat Griechenland kaum darum bemüht sein dürfte diese Extra-Schulden in seine eigenen Schulden einzurechnen. Aber Schulden sind Schulden. Wie die angesehene griechische Zeitung „Ekathimerini“ berichtet, hat das „Social Insurance Institute“ im August ein kurzfristiges Darlehen (wird wohl eine Dauerumschuldung) über 110 Mio Euro aufgenommen. 70 Mio davon gab man an seinen öffentlichen Versicherungsfonds weiter, 40 Mio davon an seinen kommunalen Versicherungsfonds. Auch schieben das „Social Insurance Institute“ und der „Generational Solidarity

- Greece has already lost in the case of the name issue. Ninety – five percent of the countries in the world accept the name Macedonia, and we continue to discuss this, said Nikos Dimou, a member of the Greek political party “Potami” (River) when guesting the show on Sky television. Dimou, a renowned Greek writer with more than 60 published books , said he supports a solution based on a composite name with a geographical qualifier, but added that he agrees that Macedonia can be called whatever they want “Macedonia as well”. - The name issue was mismanaged by the Greek government from the very beginning. It is a question for which we have already lost, Dimou said. As MIA reports from Athens, he added that it is his personal view and not the party’s, as he said, ” it has not established a position on this issue”. Dimou’s statement met with strong reactions by some Greek media. The electronic edition of “Hellene Elisis” commented that “the new party discovered their g
