Η Κυβέρνηση της Αμερικής για το Σκοπιανό

H Κυβέρνηση των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών της Αμερικής το 1944 επίσημα τοποθετείται και διακηρύττει πως κάθε συζήτηση περί «Μακεδονικού έθνους», «Μακεδονικού λαού» και «Μακεδονικής συνείδησις» είναι άδικη δημαγωγία με επικάλυμμα για επιθετική ενέργεια εναντίον της Ελλάδος.

The Secretary of State to Certain Diplomatic and Consular Officers  74

WASHINGTON, December 26, 1944 – 10: 00 a.m.

The following is for your information and general guidance, but not for any positive action at this time.

The Department has noted with considerable apprehension increasing propaganda rumors and semi – official statements in favor of an autonomous Macedonia, emanating principally from Bulgaria, but also from Yugoslav Partisan and other sources, with the implication that Greek territory would be included in the projected state. This Government considers talk of Macedonian “nation”, Macedonian “Fatherland”, or Macedonian “national consciousness” to be unjustified demagoguery representing no ethnic nor political reality, and sees in its present revival a possible cloak for aggressive intentions against Greece.
