SCHOLARS ASSERT CROATS ARE DESCENDANTS OF IRANIAN TRIBES
ZAGREB, Croatia, Oct 15, 2000 (Hina)
"Finally, it has scientifically been proven that Croatians are of Persian origin," exclaimed triumphantly representatives of a scholarly society for the study of Croatians' descent (ZDPPH) last week.
Nedjeljko Kujundzic, the head of the society established in 1992 for just the purpose to help endeavours aimed at "the promotion of the truth about the Iranian descent of Croats," held a news conference last Wednesday when he presented 'final' evidence on this matter. Last Friday, a book entitled "Indo-Iranian Origin of Croats" by writer and historian Mate Marcinko was presented as well.
Two society members, Ivan Biondic and Andrija-Zeljko Lovric, toured Iran last July. There they saw a plaque called "Tablet from Tanais", and heard, as they say, a dialect which resembles the Kaikavian dialect of the Croatian language.
Biondic explained that in the end of the 19th century two stone tablets were discovered with Greek inscriptions of ancient Croat names from the Ancient port of Tanais at the Sea of Azov. The tablets, which date back to 2nd and 3rd century B.C., have early Croatian ethnonyms - Horoathos, Horauathos and Horvathon.
The society's president Kujundzic said that the 'tamburitza' - a Croatian folk instrument - was also preserved in its original form by certain Iranian tribes.
According to him, Swedish geneticists have confirmed, in 75 percent of cases, that Croats are of Iranian origin.
Biondic added that this theory had also been confirmed by American and Canadian Slavists.
In this context he resolutely and completely rejected a thesis of some historians and the belief that the Croats are of Slavic descent.
Surprises for visitors at the news conference were not exhausted. Namely, Biondic informed them of the presumption that Mihovil Lovric, Andrija-Zeljko Lovric's father, was murdered in 1976 because of his thesis on the Iranian origin of Croats!!
Two days after the news conference, the book "Indo-Iranian Origin of Croats" was presented, in which Mate Marcinko collected a score of his texts which he had published in various magazines and papers for 30 years under various pseudonyms. One of them was Horoathos Harahuvat."
Comments our Croatian friend regarding these articles
Excellent. I am glad that you have posted the article. It is important that the truth about Croatian origins is known to the Persians. The "Iranian Origins" is now the officially accepted history of Croatian heritage. The "Slavic Origins" theory was used as an instrument to brainwash Croatians and to make it easier to take Croatia over.
Today Croatia is an independent country (since 1991), and since then the "Iranian Origins" theory has resurfaced and become official.
Again, thank you for posting the article, and I wish you and your people all the best for the future. Keep fighting for your people and make your dream a reality. Croatians fought and won. Persians shall do the same. Remember, we are the Noble ones. We are the actual Aryans.
