—🇲🇰/🇬🇷 WATCH: A video from a July 19 festival in Meliti, northern Greece, showed participants performing Aleksandar Car Makedonski, a modern Macedonian nationalist song whose lyrics include the line “Go away, Greeks, enough with the lies.”

➡️ On September 8, two Greek citizens from Demetrios Makedon Association submitted the video to the Florina prosecutor, asking authorities to examine whether any offence had been committed.

➡️ The Panhellenic Federation of Macedonian Cultural Associations also called for an official investigation and translation of the lyrics.

➡️ No court ruling has established that singing the song itself constituted a crime.

—🇲🇰 The group behind the armed rhetoric remains unidentified

➡️ Egejski Glas, meaning “Aegean Voice,” is a Macedonian nationalist Facebook page that regularly promotes the concept of “Aegean Macedonia” for the Greek region of Macedonia and uses Slavic Macedonian place names such as Lerin for Florina.

➡️ Balkan Spectator has found no reliable public evidence that Egejski Glas is a registered newspaper, political party, NGO or cultural association.

—❗️🇬🇷/🇲🇰 Greek MP Aspasia Kouroupaki, from the NIKI party, submitted a parliamentary question addressed to the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Citizen Protection to establish:

- the authenticity and origin of the Egejski Glas account,
- identify those behind it,
- determine whether its calls for arming reflect any real organised activity,
- and clarify whether cooperation has been sought from North Macedonian authorities.

—🇹🇷/🇲🇰/🇬🇷 Turkish accounts amplify Macedonian call to arms amid renewed Greece-Turkey tensions

➡️ Turkish outlet TRHaber went as far as publishing the headline “Macedonians in Greece are preparing for armed rebellion”, while other Turkish accounts echoed the claim or openly called for support for Albanian and Macedonian claims against Greece.

➡️ The timing is notable, the amplification comes as relations between Athens and Ankara are again deteriorating, with renewed Turkish pressure over the militarisation of Aegean islands, Greek-Turkish disputes over maritime sovereignty, and growing Greek defence cooperation with Israel.

➡️ There is no evidence that the Turkish accounts amplifying the Egejski Glas statement are acting on behalf of the Turkish government.
