Misappropriation . . . . of Alexander the Great: More recently even Alexander';s father, Philip, has also been abducted:
"When The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia renamed Skopje airport for Alexander the Great in 2007, this seemed a one-off to annoy Greece. More recently, however, the government has broadened a policy the opposition calls "antiquisation". The main road to Greece has been renamed for Alexander and the national sports stadium named after his father, and plans are afoot to erect a huge statue of Alexander in central Skopje." The Economist April 2, 2009
Even the popular but supposedly serious periodical Archaeology, a publication of the Archaeological Institute of America, has recently (January-February 2009) published an article with the name "Owning Alexander: Modern Macedonia lays its claim to the ancient conqueror';s legacy."

Στον χθεσινό εορτασμό της 25ης Μαρτίου στο Λευκό Οίκο, ο αρχιεπίσκοπος Αμερικής (και Θεσσαλονικεύς) Δημήτριος, λέει στον Ομπάμα,
μιλώντας για τα χρονίζοντα ζητήματα του Κυπριακού και του Σκοπιανού:
"Following the brilliant example of Alexander the Great, you will be able to cut the Gordian Knot of these unresolved issues,''
(ακολουθώντας το παράδειγμα του Μεγάλου Αλεξάνδρου, θα μπορέσετε να λύσετε το γόρδιο δεσμό αυτών των άλυτων προβλημάτων)
Ο Barack Obama απαντά, κάνοντας χιούμορ:
"I will tell Michelle I have been compared to Alexander the Great. I will see if that gets me a little more respect ... She's still the boss,''
(θα το πω στη Μισέλ (σύζυγος), ότι με συγκρίνετε με τον Μέγα Αλέξανδρο. Θα δω αν αυτό με κάνει πιό αξιοσέβαστο...αυτή είναι ακόμη το αφεντικό !)

Around 30 Members of U.S. Congress blamed Macedonia of improper behaviour that poses a threat to Greece's territorial integrity.
In a letter posted to President Barack Obama, 32 Congressmen representing Greek-American interests claim that while Greece desires to support Macedonia joining NATO and the EU, it cannot do so as long as the authorities in Skopje indulge in behaviour that threatens the territorial integrity of our NATO ally Greece.
"The recognition by the prior administration of the country as the Republic of Macedonia undermined the negotiations that have been ongoing since the execution of the Interim Agreement and brought about a severe erosion of the relationship between Skopje and Athens," said the letter.
According to Congressmen, Greece has already made a major goodwill gesture by agreeing that the word Macedonia in the future name of its northern neighbor is acceptable so long as it is combined with some geographic qualifier
The letter was obtained by the United Macedonian Diaspora (UMD), which kicked off a campaign to mobilize Macedonian community in the United States. UMD appeals to Macedonian sin the US to write letters to Senators and Congressmen in a bid to promote the Macedonian-US relations, support Macedonia's name and Macedonia's NATO membership and resist the attempts to cut the aid for Macedonia
UMD has already garnered technical assistance by the Turkish Coalition of America.
