    Default Mitsotakis: Macedonia for North Macedonia, 'Makedonia' for Greece

    https://www.keeptalkinggreece.com/20...cts-brandname/



    “Makedonia”: Mitsotakis finds solution for Macedonian products (POLL)

    Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, top priority is among others to protect the brand name of Macedonian products. At stake is to make it easy for international consumers to understand which products come from Greek Macedonia and which ones from the North Macedonia. In order to differentiate the products sold on international markets, the PM came up with a genius idea: Products from Greek Macedonia will have the name with <k> “Makedonia.”

    He made the proposal during a meeting with representatives of the Greek Exporters Association (SEVE) and local producers in the Ministry of Macedonia-Thrace in Thessaloniki on Wednesday.

    SEVE proposed that the brand name will be “μacedonia – The Divine Great Land,” newspaper to vima reports.

    The Association justified its proposal saying: the word “divine” is internationally known and refers to the gods of Olympus and the Greek mythology, while the word “great” refers directly to Alexander the Great. Τhe lowercase letter “μ” refers Greece as it is used worldwide as a mathematical symbol.

    But the Prime Minister had a better solution for the name of Macedonia.

    “The Prime Minister trusted Google,” notes tovima.

    “The two proposals submitted to Kyriakos Mitsotakis were related to the words “Macedonia” and “Makedonia”.

    The exporters were looking for a solution that would help consumers immediately understand which products belong to Greece and which ones to Northern Macedonia.

    The Prime Minister gave this solution through Google Search.

    The Prime Minister is a smart and practical man. He searched Google for Macedonia and saw that the results were for Northern Macedonia while in the search for Makedonia, the results were for Greece, ” SEVE President, George Constantopoulos, told [Russian news agency] Sputnik.

    So, according to information, it seems that the brand name to be registered will be “Makedonia,” the PM decided.

    In addition, it is more likely that the word ‘divine’ will be replaced with ‘Greek’ and thus the phrase will become ‘The Greek Great Land’.

    Constantopoulos added that the Foreign Ministry’s responsible committee will work out the proposal and will create the final brand name design that will be submitted for registration.”

    ‘Makedonia“: A great idea or a divine flop? Alfop if one considers that he gives away the ell-known brand name “Macedonia” to North Macedonia and keeps the greekglish imitation “Makedonia.”

    No.

    “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Eph. 6:12

    Definition of untrustworthy and loose character are those that don't believe in God.

    What's done is done. What we can do now is "brand recognition" and use the proper K and K sound when referring to Makedonia. Philip of Makedon and so on. It's about time the world stop using the C sound for the Ancient Makedonians and use our Hellenic Language and phonetics.

    But Bulgaro-- 'Macedonian' doesn't have a soft 's' there. It is Zeverna Makedonia.
