They (greeks) are affraid of banished Macedonians who have documents for their land in Aegean Macedonia and want it back. Excuse my ignorance about the topic, but what's this about? if you're not Greek what are you?     Selfdetermination? :confused::confused:  So, a legal thing created for african colonies it can be aplicated to other regions? You really know ANYTHING about what is going out in Basque Region?  Please, we don´t want chouvinists that think their state-model can be impossed to other regions of Europe. the self-determination was made for african colonies.  It´s hard to understand aplicated to European regions.  Yes, you look quite chouvinist, Mr knoweverythingofeacheuropeanregion :rolleyes: Last time I checked self-determination was the right of an ethnic group to govern itself on its own homeland... is NOT a colonial thing exclusively!    About the Basques, they ARE a distinct ethnic group, with a distinct language and with a homeland (today split between Spain and France) they DO have a right to govern themselves and form their own country.    If countries like Montecarlo, Andorra, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Netherlands, etc.. exist and have a right for self-determination, then the Basque Country qualifies even more. ;)
