Τα μπλόγκ και η δημοσιογραφία των πολιτών, οργανώνονται κάθε μέρα και καλύτερα.
Ιδιαίτερα η επικοινωνία και η συνεργασία με τους απόδημους ακτιβιστές, γίνεται ολοένα και πιο αποτελεσματική.
Η ιστοσελίδα http://northmacedonians.blogspot.com/ είναι μια ιδιωτική προσπάθεια που θέλει να προωθήσει τα ζητήματα που αφορούν την ελληνική κοινότητα στη ΦΥΡΟΜ.
Η ιστοσελίδα http://hellenichumanrights.wordpress.com/ αγωνίζεται για τα ΑΝΘΡΩΠΙΝΑ ΔΙΚΑΙΩΜΑΤΑ ΤΩΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΩΝ ΣΤΑ ΣΚΟΠΙΑ.
Το cana@cyprusactionnetwork.org είναι το mail της οργάνωσης των Κυπρίων της Νέας Υόρκης που σε συνεργασία με τους προηγούμενους ακτιβιστές της διασποράς, ξεκίνησαν την παρακάτω προσπάθεια για να σταλούν όσο το δυνατόν περισσότερα mail, fax και προσωπικά τηλεφωνήματα, στον υπεύθυνο του ΥΠΕΞ ΤΩΝ ΗΠΑ για την δημοκρατία, τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα και την δικαιοσύνη.

The Honorable David J. Kramer
Assistant Secretary of State for
Democracy, Human Rights and Labor
Harry S. Truman Building, 2201 C Street, NW, Room 7802, Washington, DC 20520

Dear Assistant Secretary Kramer:

I am writing to ask the State Department to publicly protest the Skopje government's human rights violations and cultural genocide of the Hellenic people in “Macedonia”

According to the US State Dept “Promoting freedom and democracy and protecting human rights around the world are central to U.S. foreign policy. The values captured in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in other global and regional commitments are consistent with the values upon which the United States was founded centuries ago.”
(Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, URL: http://www.state.gov/g/drl/ )

The Skopje government has a long legacy of anti-Hellenic cultural genocide, the previous Communist regime forcibly transferred Hellenic nationals, and prior to this the pro-Nazi Skopje government forcibly occupied Hellenic land, forcibly transferred Hellenic people, and targeted Hellenic people for massacres and torture. All governments in Skopje, by use of force together with racist propaganda and official racist discrimination , to this day have deprived the Hellenic people of their integrity as a distinct people, by use of forcible assimilation or integration by the majority Slavophone cultures or ways of life imposed on them by legislative, administrative or other measures including terror.

Article 7 of the United Nations Draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (26 August 1994) [4] uses the phrase "cultural genocide". The complete article reads as follows:

Indigenous peoples have the collective and individual right not to be subjected to ethnocide and cultural genocide, including prevention of and redress for:
(a) Any action which has the aim or effect of depriving them of their integrity as distinct peoples, or of their cultural values or ethnic identities;
(b) Any action which has the aim or effect of dispossessing them of their lands, territories or resources;
(c) Any form of population transfer which has the aim or effect of violating or undermining any of their rights;
(d) Any form of assimilation or integration by other cultures or ways of life imposed on them by legislative, administrative or other measures;
(e) Any form of propaganda directed against them.

The Skopje government is guilty of all of the above itemized sub-articles in “MACEDONIA”.

Please help save the Hellenic people from cultural genocide by 1) immediately investigating the Skopje government practice of denying Hellenic nationality to Hellenic people 2) publicly protesting any violations of human rights, and; 3) prominently addressing this matter in the annual "Country Reports on Human Rights Practices," on “MACEDONIA” due to be released in February 2009.

Thank you for your attention to my concerns.

I look forward to hearing from you or your office in this regard.
