Position:Home>History> How do you feel about Greece trying to change Macedonia's name?

i am absolutely outraged as well

even though I'm not that into politics i believe that just because Greece hasn't got a bit of land that is rightfully ours doesn't mean that it doesn't have any land at all!.

just a few months ago i signed a petition on line to have Macedonia's name stay the same!. Here's the site is you want to sign
http://www!.petitiononline!.com/maknews/pe!.!.!.

no offence to the greeks, but Macedonia deserves to be a country by itself with no interruptions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

just fyi!.!.!.!.
Makedonia is greece!.since ancient years makedones considered as greeks,even the stricted rules of ancient olympic games accepts makedons to participate at olympic games,just like pelloponisian,athenians…!.!.one of the ancestors of alexander the great,alexander A,capture by persians,at platiaon fight,escaped and ariiving to the greek military place,said to the guard”I am makedon,greek in heritage,I have come to inform my brothers for thesudden invade that persian are planning”
Alexander the great,aristoteles student,had a vision like his father phillip,the union of greeks,for the campain against persians,to take revenge for the persian wars!.
When he took over the persian land send a gift to delphoi 300 persian shields with the incription”from persian!.greeks exept lakedemonians(apo tous perses!.oi ellines plin lakedemonion)”!.as its known spartans are the only that didn’t follow alexander!.
The historian makedon stravon said “estin oun ellas kai h makedonia” (makedonia is greece also)!.
Tha later centuries makedonian follow the same (as is also greek) progress as greece!.was under romans,and then was a providence of the long byzantine empire!.and one dynasty was named makedoniki as the emperors were from the makedonian province!.
That period slavs appeared to the area,idolaters,with oral language only!.byzantines sent them cyrillous and methodious to make them christians and teach them alphabet!.slavs until now honour them as their saints!.
Under ottoman empire people are moving around into the borders of ottoman empire and as a result many bulgarian move to villages in makedonia!.
After freedom of ottoman empire start the conflict through bulgarians and greeks,during the balkan wars(pavlos melas and makedonomahoi)for the control of makedonia!.finally the makedonian land was devided to 50%greece ,39%serbia and 11%bulgaria!.
Even some greek makedonomahoi were slavophones one of them was kottas,who was hanged b bulgarians at monastirion and yelling “zito I hellas”(long liive hellas) at slavic!.
The think is that the so-called at that period komitatzides steped back not to bulgaria but to the serbian place that is now known as skopjie (or fyrom)!.so the residents of skopia are descentands of bulgarian comitatzides!.the language is spoken now at fyrom is the bulgarian dialect bugari which is sibstained of 80%bulgarian,10%serbian and 10% according to glossologists!.!.(for that one I am not so sure,from substained of greek I mean)
(their language is closely related to and mutually intelligible with Standard Bulgarian)
Both language from fyrom and the Bulgarian Standard language share typological similarities with Romanian, Greek, and Albanian!.
The area that until 1944 was called as vardarska(from vardari river)!.
Tito because he want to take a peace of serbia and protect it of the aspirations of bulgarians who they demand it renamed it to federation of yugoslav republic of makedonia” and since then these komitatzides start to claim a lot…!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am also offended!. Greece has no right over this name!. They only had it since 1981!. We may not have the region in which Alex was born, thanks to the wonderful Greeks, but we still have our race!. We "slavic fyromonkeydonians" had it ever since Alexander!. We were only called Vardarska under Serbia!. Tito did not in any way create the name Macedonia!. He simply recongnized the distinct Macedonian people and place and granted them their real name!. Why don't you ask Greece what their aiport name was before or how may "Slavs" there are in Northern Greece compared to Greeks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

FORMER MACEDONIAN REPUBLIC OF GREECE

Vasiliki sweety, check the photo in this article, it's from 1902 edition of New York Times, when Greeks betrayed Macedonians (yeah, where was Tito them to tell us our name!? NOT BORN!!!)!. they found out that Macedonians were trying to organize an uprising against the Turks and they betrayed them!.!.!. THE HISTORY CONTINUES RIGHT!?!
