NATIONAL ISSUES
National issues are subjects involving public
affairs, ethnicity, history, religion, heritage and culture, political
events, international trends and economic developments that are
of interest, collectively, to Hellenes around the world, to Hellas,
Cyprus and the European Union. Even though the importance of National
Issues (ethnika themata) varies over time, the priorities of World
SAE now include:
|
|
Pontian Genocide
-- SAE's president has launched a worldwide campaign to secure
support for the formal recognition of the Genocide of Pontian
Hellenes by the Ottoman State and the Turkish army, especially
during the first quarter of the 20th century when more than
353,000 Pontians were exterminated in Asia Minor.

of Jerusalem, Ireneos, by the State of Israel, SAE's president
has rallied ethnic support from Jewish organizations and governmental
support in the U.S. as he seeks a break in the impasse.

Macedonia
-- World SAE is in support of the work of the Pan-Macedonian
Association of U.S. which seeks to preserve the Hellenic heritage
and history of Macedonia.

|
Ecumenical Patriarchate
-- SAE is a strong supporter of
the Ecumenical Patriarchate and continues public awareness
activities about the importance of the opening of the historic

among the basic issues advocated by the President of SAE.
