King of Roma, Florin Cioaba will make a formal request next week, by the India, Egypt and Israel for them to say where is their origin.
Cioaba, who is also vice president of the World Roma, says will take this approach for those who come to know their history. "We do not ask for anything else. We dont want land, we dont want citizenship, we are romanian. But we want to know our history. We want to know where to draw our roots," said Florin Cioaba for www.sibianulonline.ro.
Most hope, Cioaba has in the Indian state, because, he says, there are more signs that the Roma will find their roots there. Roma and Indians have similar traditions, they speak the same language and the dress are similar. Moreover, the flag of the Roma and Indians looks like drawing, but different colors. "You want to know from where we come. Every man is entitled to know the true history, not as the time of Ceausescu when I learned that his regim was the best and now we are told that when I was lying, that the regime was bad. You must know where we draw in India, in Egypt or in Israel. We are not aliens, "said the king Florin Cioaba.
In Europe are at this time, more than 15 million people declared to be of Roma ethnicity.
