ГРЧКАТА ВООРУЖЕНА АКЦИЈА ВО ОСМАНЛИСКА МАКЕДОНИЈА: ДИЛЕМИ И ТРАНСФОРМАЦИИ (1902 – 1904)
GREEK VOCATIONAL ACTION IN OTTOMAN MACEDONIA: Dilemmas and Transformations (1902 - 1904)

Summary/Abstract: The Greek government had decided to lead the war against MRO (Macedonian Revolutionary Organization) with mercenary paramilitary formations, created on Greek territory, with members from the Kingdom of Greece and the Iceland of Crete (autonomous area under the jurisdiction of the Ottoman Empire). Also, there where individuals from Ottoman Macedonia under the leadership of Greek officers, firstly as leaders of Andarts, and later leaders of real arm groups. The beginning of the Greek “Macedonian struggle” (1904-1908) had shown the wrong perception of those who claimed that there is great number of Greek “Macedonians” i.e. followers of the Greek Patriarchy which will take arms and later on, lead the fight by them self. The reality was different. The Greek nationalists had understood that the power of Ellinismus in those parts of the Ottoman Empire was very low.
