Team,
Below is a draft of the response to the Multicultural affairs department. I have also included a copy of the correct updated form. Let me know your thoughts and I won’t send it until I have received your views, thoughts, and feedback.
Att: Kim Sims/Sandra Pownell
Email: [email protected]
Email: [email protected]
Client Reference: MAQ_1529
I would like to amend some details regarding the information you currently have on file.
The new contact is:
President : Nick Karanicolas
Phone: 0431 086 722
The information regarding ethnicity, language and client activities is incorrect. Your records indicate Macedonian as the primary default.
This reference refers to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) and is not recognised by the Greek Community globally.
Below is some reference material regarding the origin of Macedonia and our language. I know you may be unaware of the un-intential oversight and making a reference to a Greek Association as having an ethnicity of Macedonian, and not Greek Macedonian, is incorrect and may also be deemed as offensive.
I can appreciate the fact that the FRYOM may have provided incorrect or misleading information.
Please amend your records to reflect the following information:
Client Ethnicity: Greek
Client Language: Greek
Client Activities: Greek Culture and traditions.
I thank you for your assistance and also for your interest in understanding the difference between Greek Macedonians (who are the only rightful owners of the title), and Yugoslav Macedonians (who can not lay claim to the title of Macedonian, hence the name of their country is FYROM).
Please feel free to review the provided information and you can contact me anytime for further clarification on 0431086722.
Regards
Mr Nick Karanicolas
President
Pan Macedonian Association of Queensland
The Greek Embassy in Canberra can verify this information is true and correct.
