Program statements of the Neobyzantine Movement in general:
- The Neobyzantine Movement (NBM)
is an international organisation of groups and individuals (as
described in the Statute of the Movement)
that promotes and stimulates renewal of old-Byzantine (Ρωμαϊκή) tradition
and culture. All the people of the ancient Byzantine cultural and economical
influence identified themselves as Byzantines
(Ρωμαϊοι), and the NBM believes the term should be used these
days as well, for all the Byzantine nations (nations
that belong to Orthodox religion and nations of the old-Byzantine cultural
and spiritual sphere of influence including those who don't necessarily
belong to Orthodox belief but were neighbours or part of the old-Byzantine
world).
- NBM supports an idea that every Byzantine and a person of
an Orthodox Faith belongs to and unique cultural type and should live
together. Therefore, NBM will support any kind of union, confederation,
or any other kind of grouping of states that do belong to the Byzantine
world. Our view is that the form of Union should be a strong Federation,
under the Presidium consisted of the elected representatives of each
country. The form of Government and the Constitution will be opened
for further discussion.
- NBM will strongly support an idea of Balkan Union, Union
of Byzantine states on Caucasus , Levantine, Mediterranean, and Palestine.
NBM will support and agitate creation of (Neo)Byzantine Group of States
(NBG) in the United Nations (UN) and in the European Union (EU), and
will support integration of Byzantine States into all the most relevant
political and economical groups in the world. In spite of that, NBM
will urge the government of every Orthodox and Byzantine state to create
unique standards, law system, economical groups and centres, defence
forces, and administrative centres among these nations.
- NBM will fight against any kind of occupation, terrorism,
repression or violence on Orthodox and Byzantine people wherever it
takes place. That is why we urge the Byzantine and Orthodox Nations
to create common Council of National Defence, Security and Stability
(CNDSS) to fight terrorism and violence on Orthodox, Byzantine and Eastern
Christian people.
- The main goal of the NBM is creation of the New Byzantine
State (Νέο Βυζάντιο - Νέα Ρωμαϊα as described in the Idea
of Neo Byzantio) and Union of every Byzantine and Orthodox nation
in the world. That is the supreme idea of the Movement, and the goal
of all of our strivings (i.e. to create a Neobyzantine Union and all
the Byzantines).
- NBM supports groups that have ecological views and are striving
to preserve and heal the Earth, the climate, and the ecosystem. The
NBM will help these groups whenever it is necessary and possible. This
means the Movement has an ecological character and is seeking the way
to contribute to the protection of climate, the wildlife and the environment.
- NBM will contribute in the humanitarian and charity activities
to the people in trouble, specially to the people of Byzantine states
and of Orthodox Faith, but to all the others as well.
- NBM will help the activities on the economical development
of Byzantine States, their integration and the creation of one single,
Byzantine market. Because of the cultural ties between our countries,
it is in our best interest to develop single trade market, to cooperate
and offer products and services on a global scale, thanks to our mutual
understanding and knowledge of customs, traditional values and Faith,
which are literally the same in all the Byzantine States.
