   >Alexander Mercouris grandfather was Mayor of Athens, Spyridon Mercouris
   >Spyridon and the Mercouri were an Arvanite family.[1]
   >Arvanites are a bilingual[2] population group in Greece of Albanian origin.[3] They traditionally speak Arvanitika, an Albanian language variety, along with Greek.
   >They call themselves Arvanites (in Greek) and Arbëror (in their language). Arvanites today self-identify as Greeks as a result of a process of cultural assimilation,[5][6][7][8] and do not consider themselves Albanian.[9]
   I have to say that I am not an expert on Albanian cultural assimilation by any means, but this does raise a rather interesting point.

     @deadheat They got bullied by the Greek government into renaming themselves because Macedonia has been a region of Greece for a long fucking tine now. @augustus
