My Mood: | Mike Rann angers the Skopjian Australian community I found the link at *****************.com. Look at what the skopjians say as a response. Doesnt it just piss you off that this people talk all this garbage and lies. Quote: Rann accused of Macedonian snub
South Australian Premier Mike Rann has been accused of marginalising the Macedonian community.
Mr Rann, visiting Greece earlier this month, was quoted in a Greek newspaper saying that neighbouring Macedonia was "as Greek as the Acropolis".
The comment on the heated dispute about history and territory has insulted Steve Kostoff, who represents South Australia's Macedonians.
"The Premier has marginalised our community time and time again, time will show that Mr Rann is incorrect in marginalising the Macedonian community," he said.
Mr Kostoff says Greek and Macedonian cultures are not one and the same and has written to the Premier's office demanding an apology.
"Not only is our culture different but our language and our history, our religion are different. The distinction between what is actually a Slav Macedonian and a Greek is very obvious, particularly to us," he said.
