Aromanian nationalism

A large number of Aromanians have moved away from nationalist themes such as the creation of a nation state of their own or achieving ethnic autonomy in the countries they live.

However, the Italian troops eventually withdrew, and the Greek authorities subsequently chased these figures.

[4] Such a project was revived in World War II after the Axis invasion of Greece, and a Principality of the Pindus was established in 1941, being led by the Aromanian nationalist Alcibiades Diamandi.

Romanian historian Sorin Antohi described the Aromanian elites engaging in this utopic literary discourse about Moscopole as having an exalted feeling of finding of a "magnetic beauty and without any imperfection of a brilliant city" which "evokes a dreamlike image".

[6] Today, a common Aromanian phrase expressing ethnic pride is S-bãneadzã Armãnamea ("Long live Aromanian-dom").
