Ολόκληρη η Συνθήκη Βουκουρεστίου 1913 – πουθενά ο όρος «Μακεδονία»!

Αυτή για την οποία λένε μας έχουν ότι δήθεν «μοίρασε την Μακεδονία σε τρία 
(ή τέσσερα) κράτη, με την Ελλάδα να έχει το 51%, την Γιουσκοσλαβία 
το 38%, την Βουλγαρία το 10% και την Αλβανία λιγότερο από το 1%».
Αυτό δεν λένε;

Το λέει ο (τέως) υπουργός εξωτερικών Νίκος Κοτζιάς, το λέει 
ο πρωθυπουργός Αλέξης Τσίπρας (μαζί με την Μπακογιάννη και τον Μπουτάρη), το λέει ο Τζανακόπουλος, το λένε υπουργοί του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ (εδώ και εδώ), 
το λέει ο Ριζοσπάστης, το λέει ο 902, o Μπογιόπουλος, το λέει το ΚΚΕ 
στα φυλλάδια που μοιράζει στα σχολεία (φωτο 1, φωτο 2, φωτο 3), 
το λέει η Εφημερίδα των Συντακτών, to Documento, 
το λέει ο Μαυρίδης του liberal.gr, 
το λέει η Καθημερινή (ως εφημερίδα), 
το γράφει σε blog του Πρώτου Θέματος, 
το λένε καθηγητές πανεπιστημίου (στην Αυγή, στο Στο Κόκκινο, 
στο Κουτί της Πανδώρας), 
το γράφουν στα ελληνικά πανεπιστήμια (Μάστερ στο Παν. Μακεδονίας), 
το λέει η εγγονή του Τίτο, 
διάφοροι (εδώ, εδώ, εδώ, εδώ, εδώ). 
Το λέει εμμέσως και ο υπ. εξ. των Σκοπίων Δημητρώφ. 
Το λένε λίγο-πολύ όλοι.
Εμείς, στο Αντίβαρο, το αμφισβητούμε. 
Το ίδιο κάνουν και οι εξής: ο Σάββας Καλεντερίδης, 
ο Γιώργος Ρωμανός, οι Ακτίνες, οι Χρονογραφίες, και άλλοι.

Όπως βλέπουμε όλοι δεν υπάρχει πουθενά ο όρος Μακεδονία. 
Υπάρχουν σε αρκετά άρθρα ονομασίες περιοχών που καθορίζουν τα 
σύνορα, αλλά πουθενά ο όρος Μακεδονία.
Η Οθωμανική Αυτοκρατορία ποτέ δεν χρησιμοποίησε τον όρο Μακεδονία για 
να ονομάσει οποιαδήποτε περιοχή. Χρησιμοποιούσε διοικητικές περιοχές 
που ονόμαζε Βιλαέτια. Υπήρχε έτσι το Βιλαέτι Θεσσαλονίκης, 
Μοναστηρίου, Αδριανούπολης.
Ακολουθούν δύο επίσημοι χάρτες από την έκθεση μίας Διεθνούς Επιτροπής, 
η οποία συστήθηκε μετά τη λήξη των Βαλκανικών πολέμων. 
(εδώ το βιβλίο Report of the International Commission to Inquire 
into the Causes and Conduct of the Balkan Wars). 
Ο πρώτος χάρτης δείχνει τα σύνορα του παλαιότερου συνεδρίου του 
Λονδίνου και το δεύτερος χάρτης δείχνει ακριβώς τα σύνορα μετά την 
Συνθήκη Ειρήνης του Βουκουρεστίου. Προσέξτε πού γράφει Μακεδονία. 
Οι ίδιοι χάρτες υπάρχουν και εδώ

Ο ίδιος ακριβώς χάρτης υπάρχει και στην διεθνή έκδοση της 
Wikipedia για την εν λόγω συνθήκη.
Προσέξτε τώρα και την πόλη Uskub μεταξύ του Ι και του Α από τη λέξη SERVIA. Uskub είναι η Οθωμανική εκδοχή της πόλης των Σκοπίων. Μάλιστα, τα Σκόπια όχι μόνο δεν ήταν μέρος της Μακεδονίας, όχι μόνο δεν ανήκαν σε κανένα από 
τα τρία Βιλαέτια, των οποίων τα εδάφη μοιράστηκαν, όχι μόνο δηλαδή ανήκαν 
σε άλλο Βιλαέτι, στο Βιλαέτι του Κοσσυφοπεδίου, αλλά από το 1888 ως το 1914, ήταν η πρωτεύουσα του Βιλαετίου του Κοσσυφοπεδίου (δείτε το εδώ)!. 
Ως συμπέρασμα, άνω του 85% του πληθυσμού της πΓΔΜ κατοικεί σήμερα 
εκτός της περιοχής των τριών Βιλαετίων.
Συνεπώς
*ψεύδος ότι η Συνθήκη του Βουκουρεστίου αναφέρεται στην Μακεδονία
*ψεύδος ότι η Συνθήκη του Βουκουρεστίου μοίρασε την Μακεδονία σε 
3 ή 4 χώρες
*ψεύδη τα ποσοστά που αναφέρονται συνήθως
*ψεύδος ότι η περιοχή της πΓΔΜ ανήκει σε κάποια έννοια μίας ευρείας περιοχής της Μακεδονίας. Ουδέποτε υπήρξε τέτοια διοικητική περιοχή επί Οθωμανικής Αυτοκρατορίας. Έναν χάρτη με Οθωμανική διοίκηση περί «Μακεδονίας» δεν έχουν βρει ακόμη.
*μόνο το πολύ νότιο τμήμα της πΓΔΜ, δηλαδή η περιοχή γύρω από το Μοναστήρι και τις πόλεις Αχρίδα, Αντιγόνεια, Δίβρη και Άστιβος. 
Μόνο αυτές οι πόλεις, οι οποίες μάλιστα φέρουν και ελληνικά ονόματα, 
ανήκαν στην περιοχή της Μακεδονίας. 
Σημειώνεται ότι βάσει της Συμφωνίας των Πρεσπών, υποχρεωνόμαστε 
να παύσουμε να χρησιμοποιούμε τα ελληνικά ονόματα γι’ αυτές τις πόλεις! 
Θα πρέπει να χρησιμοποιούμε τα «μακεδονικά» (κατά την Συμφωνία) ονόματα, δηλαδή Μπίτολα, Οχρίντ, Νεγκότινο, Ντέμπαρ, Στιπ.
*Η Ελλάδα από το 1912-13 που απελευθέρωσε τα εδάφη της Μακεδονίας, αμέσως τα ονόμασε επισήμως Μακεδονία, όπως και ήταν. 
Η Γιουγκοσλαβία για 30 χρόνια δεν χρησιμοποιούσε αυτό το όνομα. 
Μόνο το 1943-44 άρχισε να το χρησιμοποιεί. 
Η Βουλγαρία δε καθόλου, ούτε και σήμερα.

2. The detailed Route of the Border

(Please refer to the map at 1:100,000)
[Click here for map 1][Click here for map 2]

On leaving the Danube to follow the route of the border to the Black Sea, this route is first marked by the base of the terrace of the left bank of the valley separating the villages of Turk Smil and Kiutiukli. It then goes up the spur located to the north of the path from Kiutiukli to Senovo, crosses the central hillock (there are three) located to the west of the village of Senovo; skirts the beginning of the two dells located to the south of the village of Senovo, descends to the opening of the dell located to the west of the village of Kazeilar, which it follows almost to its beginning; It then crosses the valley of Hadjifaklar and the plateau alongside the road from Kazeilar to Balbunar. Between this road and the hill 209, it crosses the valleys to the west and east of Kuvanojilar between which it skirts, following the crest, the central dells of the same valleys of Kuvanojilar. From the south of hill 209 , it goes toward the central bend of the Demir-Babinar river to the east of the village of Seremetkioi, which it reaches after having crossed the hillocks located to the south-west of 209 and after having followed the dells and the confluences closest to the straight line joining 209 to the hill 226 (north of Seremetkioi). To the east of Demir-Babinar, the route of the border follows the spur located between Kiuseabdt Kasapla and Eski Balabanlar, first crosses the valley, then the plateau located to the east of this valley, between the villages of Atkioi and Saladinkioi, it then descends into the valley of Saormankioi at the confluence of the small dell of Saladinkio. The route then crosses the hillock located to the north of the village of Kaidarkioi (on the road to Silistrie), adjoins the confluence of the dell located to the north of the village of Juklii to reach the road from Schoumia to Silistrie, at the south of hill 269 after having skirted to the west, south and east of the village of Rahman Asiclar, passing by the confluences or by the depressions best located to fix this route at almost equal distance from the villages that the border separates in this region. From 269 the route passes between Dorutlar and Cioban Nasuf; descends to the confluences of the first two dells located to the east of the village of Cioban Nasuf, follows the spur flanked by these two dells, still running toward the south-east following the thalweg of the dell starting in the river Reonagol to the north-west of Mahmuzlai. It then descends to the course of this river up to the confluence located to the north-west of the dell of Mahmuzlai, which it then goes up to pass to the south of the hillock 260 (saddle), from which it descends into the dell of Kiuciuk Ahmed at the junction of the roads. After having gone along the course of this river a little, the route of the border goes up the spur located between KiuCiuk Ahmed and Killi-Kadai, crosses the hillock 260, rejoins the confluence of the two dells located to the west of Ekisce, goes up the dell located to the west of this village, changes direction toward the south, crosses hillock 277 and the saddle of the hillocks located between the villages of Vladimirov and Gekcidelink; it crosses the saddle located between the villages of Gekcidelink and Kapudjimah again, from where it goes firstly toward the north and then toward the east following the depression that passes to the north of Kortut (Korkut). Between Kortut and the Isikli stream, the route of the border follows the water catchment divide to the south of the village of Kadikioi and the hill 303 up to the major bend at Isikli. In the following section, which ends on the road from Varna to Dobrici, the border first follows the course of the valley of Kumbudja, then the eastern branch of this valley, passing to the north of the hillock 340. The last section of the route of the border located between the Varna-Dobrici road and the Black Sea crosses the dell of Kuiudjuk at its outset, follows a small spur, then a dell in the south-east direction, it then curves toward the north-east in the direction of the hill 299 following a water catchment divide; it then separates, by lines that are characteristic of the terrain, the villages of Ciauskioi and Kapaklii, after having, in the same way, separated Mustafa Beiler from Vlahlar; It finally reaches the Black Sea by crossing the saddle located to the south of hill 252.

3. The Provisional Marking of the Route

The route of the border thus defined topographically using the existing cartographic documents (maps of 1:200,000, 1:126,000 and 1:100,000) is also plotted to certain remarkable points on the ground. To this effect, the trigonometric points of the existing triangulation were chosen first, followed by the steeples of churches or the minarets in the villages. This is why this route was included in a triangulation developed between the Danube and the Black Sea. As the triangulation cuts the route of the border, the intersections are marked at invariable points on the ground, whose distance can be measured with an approximation of 50 metres.

This is how the point of departure of the border from the Danube is plotted to the hill of the trigonometric point of Turtucala which is at a distance of 15 kilometres. In the same way, the distances of all the hillocks, saddles, etc, which form the landmarks of the border, can be read from the map.

PROTOCOL appended to Article IV of the Treaty of Bucharest of 28th July (10th August) 1913, regarding the Questions in relation to the former Serbo-Bulgarian Border.

A mixed Serbo-Bulgarian Commission, which will be established within a period of one year with effect from the date of ratification of the peace treaty, shall govern the questions in relation to the former Serbo-Bulgarian border, taking the thalweg of Timek as a principle, insofar as this river serves as the border between Serbia and Bulgaria, and the line from the summit of the heights of Batchichte to Ivanova Livada.

At the latest within a period of three years with effect from the date of ratification of the peace treaty, the two contracting high parties shall be bound to mark the entire route of the former Serbo-Bulgarian border by permanent signs.

All the existing Mills on Timok, as this serves as the border between Serbia and Bulgaria, shall be removed within a period of three years from the date of ratification of the peace treaty and henceforth no installation of this type shall be permitted on this part of the river.

It is also understood that it will no longer henceforth be permissible for the subject of the two contracting high parties to own real estate divided by the border line (the property known as “dvodlassna”). As regards the ownerships of this type currently in existence, each of the two governments hereby undertake to proceed with the expropriation, by means of a just prior compensation fixed by the local procedure, of the parcels located on its side of the border. The same rule shall apply to the properties located in the enclave of Roglievo-Koilovo and in that of Halovo-Vregeogrotzi, their legal situation with regard to the citizens of the two neighbouring States having been settled by Protocol No. 11 of the mixed Serbo-Bulgarian Commission of 1912. The aforementioned expropriations shall be performed within the deadline of three years at the latest, with effect from the date of ratification of the peace treaty.

PROTOCOL appended to Article V of the Treaty of Bucharest of 28th July (10th August), 1913

Definitive border between Bulgaria and Greece

(Austrian map 1:200,000)
[Click here for map]
