The head of the Linguistics Department at the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts is announcing self-defense measures if the government does not listen to science that opposes Bulgaria’s demands for the Macedonian language as a Bulgarian dialect.
“If state officials do not respect the scientific views on the Macedonian language, history and culture of MANU and colleagues, if they give up the centuries-long Macedonian historical heritage, then they will attack the vital Macedonian interest. In that case, self-defense would be legitimate”, wrote Academician Katica Kjulavkova without specifying in what form that self-defense would be.
