Declaration and a historical overview of the Macedonian question, published by the MPO in 1988 on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of the Balkan wars.

"In order to understand the genesis of "The Macedonian Question," a brief review must be made of late 19th century East European history.

...After 75 years the situation in Macedonia and the Balkans has not improved. It has worsened. After the Second World War Communist authorities in Yugoslavia continued to impose an undisguised national and cultural genocide through an unprecedented falsification of the past.

Greece has also denied the presence of a Bulgarian nationality within her borders, and has therefore rejected any kind of rights for the Bulgarians of southern Macedonia. In Bulgarian Macedonia the population is subjexted to the same political ordeal that the rest of Bulgaria is compelled to accept, a strict Marxist government which permits no political deviation or dissent..."
