The Macedonian Minister of Macedonia and Thrace, Mr Theodoros Karaoglou, will be visiting Melbourne to attend celebrations and events in support of Macedonian issues.
The Minister will be treated to the unique Greek Australian flavours of the Macedonian community at the Macedonian Glendi on November 18. The popular event brings together a 30,000 strong crowd of Greeks and Australians every year. Also on the agenda are two lectures by Professor George Bambniotis.
The first entitled “The language of our ancestors in a migratory environment: The case of the Greek language” will be held at the Hellenic Museum on Thursday 22 November at 6:30 pm.
The second entitled “The different dialects of Ancient Greek: The development of the Macedonian language” will be held at the Medical School of Melbourne University on Tuesday 27 November at 6:30 pm. As well as the lectures, Mr Karaglou will attend many consultative functions, including events run by the Pan Macedonian Association of Melbourne and Victoria and the Australian Hellenic Council.
