Albanians Want to Albanize Macedonia
Focus News Agency ^ | June 24, 2006

Skopje. The ambitions of the Albanians in Macedonia are to take over the country and Albanize it, leader of VMRO-Narodna (People’s Party) and Macedonia’s former Prime Minister Ljupco Georgievski stated in an interview with the BBC.

Commenting on his proposal from a few years ago about the exchange of territory and people between Albania and Macedonia the former PM said that the Albanians will never accept this idea as “their ambitions are much bigger”.

“In the last few years the Albanians assimilated a lot of territories in Macedonia and therefore I think that no one will accept my proposal – to mark off Tetovo, Gostivar and Debar,” Ljupco Georgievski added.

A problem of demographic intent as well (with all Muslims)---Albanians have lots of babies!

Slavs, Greeks, most Euros do not. etc.

People in the surrounding countries call this "rabbit breeding their way to power". The albunnies might want to consider that there are TWO ways in which the others might try to thwart this process, i.e. aside from trying to outbreed them, the others might finally realize that they could also stop this bid to rule through demographics by simply killing a sufficient number of albanians. Believe it or not, that would also have the effect of eliminating numerical disproportions.

Albania, known throughout time as a really progressive, innovative and free thinking place. Do you think we could "Albanize" some of the leftists here? What do you bet when and if they returned, they would no longer be leftists?

You might want to note, Joan, that the VMRO already tried the "race war" gambit back in '01.

It worked so well for them, didn't it?

Ah well, if it weren't for Balkan leaders intent upon pursuing the failed policies of the past, it wouldn't be such an interesting place.

This will be a political driven effort. The background will be an assassination here, there, some sniper attacks and bombs to incite the Macedonians into being heavy handed dealing with the Albanians. The extremist that make up the NLA will make it difficult for Internationals to travel to Ohrid, and will seek to partition off the Western part of Macedonia first, while operations will be established to destablize the current Macedonian government. Bulgaria and Greece won't be too unhappy to see Macedonia go away and dissolve in the next 3-5 years. This is only scratching the surface of the Balkans for now. Muzzies will aid in the attacks and start their Islamic BS........Unfortunately, we (U.S.) are supporting the independence of Kosovo which will aid in the disenigration of Macedonia if achieved. OH, don't forget the noises that will start in Chamaria....Greece.
