New provocation from Skopje is the erection of Alexander the Great in downtown Skopje, says Greek daily 'Ethnos'. At the same time, another Greek daily "Kathimerini" states that "Athens and Skopje continue to play their 'funny game' initiated by Greece in 1991. "The last move by Skopje to erect magnificent monument of Alexander is the last move in a game between Greece and Macedonia that Athens started in 1991, all of it in a fight who will get the name and symbols of the Macedonian dynasty", says Kathimerini. "The truth in this funny game is that we entered it with major frenzy. Athens in 1991 with two, three moves surprised its northern neighbor" says Kathimerini. In a major political movement that prompted large demonstrations in Salonica and to prove Macedonia was Greek, the Greek Government formed the so called Macedonian Press Agency, an agency that today no one mentiones because it was transformed into the state ANA agency, says Kathimerini.
A year later we changed the Salonica airport from "Mikra" to "Macedonia", while the Kavala airport was changed into "Alexander the Great". The same year Olympic Airlines set up the so called "Macedonian Airlines" that also no one knows about, says Kathimerini in its commentary.
