Slavophone Macedonians are much more related to the ancient ones compared to the Anatolians with no ties to the land which were settled in Greek Macedonia. No one is taking away any "rights" from Greek Macedonians. It is you who want to take away the rights of Macedonians, and you also have the nerve to call me a bigot. Hypocrite

They are not Macedonians you moron they are Bulgarians and Serbobulgarians and half of them are gypsies, Albanians and Serbs.

ANY Greek is more related to Macedonians i.e Ancient Greeks precisely because they are Greek and Macedonians were a Dorian tribe, spread all over Greece including Southern Greece. As a Peloponnesean I am much more related to ANY Greek tribe including Macedonians and that is also reflected in my genetic results.

Altready in Roman times Greeks were greatly intermixed with one another, Who the fuck are you Romanian gypsy to tell us the Ionian and Asia Minor Greeks aren’t Greeks and unrelated to Macedonians? You are related to gypsies and Slavs and Turks and even Cypirots you being Romanian.

Fjrthermore over half the population of Fyrom (which was never part of Macedonia) are not Asia Minor Greeks but indigenous mainland Greeks who numbers are far greater than those of Skopjans who only make up half of Skopjan (rest are Albanians, Serbs, gypsies. Go spread you vitriol, and racism elsewhere you racist gypsy, and stop claiming the history of Dacians as your own because unlike the Asia Minor Greeks who alwwys have been Greek throughout his5ory your gypsies are unrelated to Dacians.

Of course they take away my rights as a Greek, by allowing a NON RELATED people MONOPOLIZE the name of my people for INTERNATIONAL use. Bulgaria calls one of its provinces Macedonia, although even that province has nothing to do with Ancient Macedonia. But no Greek objects to their use of Macedonia because they dont monopolize its name nor use it exclusively for INTERNATIONAL use, nor invent a false natiional identity out of it.

Greeks call Northern Greeks Macedonians and have always done so for Millenia. Now they are told, they are not Macedonians but Greeks. Really! And by the same logic I am not Peloponnesian but Greek.

Just like I cannot name my country DACIA, and propagandize the Romanians (who arent even Dacians really unlike modern Greeks), have NO relation to Ancient Dacians or call my Greek language ”Dacian” so Fyromians do not have the right to monopolize an identity that does not even belong to them. That is pure theft and cultural appropriation.

Add to this the fact they have been enganging in the most vicious anti Greek campaign for decades, burn Greek flags, post studies about Greeks being related to Sub saharians, call us Orthodox Turks, and post maps of half Greece as occupied Macedonia by the bad Greeks. Alexander would roll in his grave if he saw all this vitriol against Greeks by the people who appropriate his identity. Macedonians spread Hellenic culture and civilization throughout the world, Fyromians despise anything Hellenic. They are only interested how to make their country relevant by stealing someone elses identity. They can dream on, even if the whole world recognized them as ”Macedonians” Greeks NEVER WILL!

Amazing how you can shit out so much substanceless text. I only mentioned the Pontian Greeks as having no relation to ancient Macedonia. There's a lot of genetic overlap between Slavic and Greek Macedonians, and I see nothing wrong with them having a common identity. Don't bother to reply back unless you can find it in you to post something concise.

Slavophone Macedonians

No such thing as Slavophone Macedonians. Slavophone Macedonians were the Greeks that were under the influence of Bulgarian Exarchate who were forbidden to speak their language or were billingual. But those always had a Greek conscience and they loathed Bulgarians, even gave their blood to liberate Macedonia from Bulgarians, in the Balkan wars.

The Bulgarians that were expelled to Fyrom and Bulgaria, weren’t Slavophone Macedonians, but Slavophone Bulgarians and they hated anything Greek, they were always at perpetual war with the Greeks and never identified as Macedonians in their history. The only ethnic group that identified as Macedonian were the Greeks.

I don’t give a shit if there is genetic overlap between Fyromians and Northern Greeks. That doesn’t stop them from propagandating Macedonians have nothing to do with Greeks. They aren’t interested at all in any common identity. Their main goal is to DEHELLENIZE anything related to Macedonia and Balkanize it, Thracizy it, anything to detach it from its Greek identity. Hence their never ending propaganda and references to ”Orthodox Turks”, Sub saharans and other vile racist insults we have to endure on a permanent basis. They BASE their identity on vilifying others.

There is no genetic overlap. The genetic overlap comes from the fact that over 100’000 Greeks have assimilated into Fyrom (per admissinnof Glogorov)and from the fact that half of Fyrom is populated by Albanians. And if the Greeks have any Slavic admixture is also irrelevant except to racists like you, who bring it as an excuse to deny a people their culturaal heritage, apparently annoyed at the fact that you are a defacto slavicized dacovlach population with no direct links to ancient Dacians, while Greeks have a continuous link to their ancestors.

It's disappointing to see them give in to the Greek bullies.

Neighbors should try ways to get along with each other and this doesn't seem like a big deal. Governments should put the living standards of their citizens ahead of junior high school nonsense. Good relationships with neighbors boosts local economy.

Its a shame how much money they spent on silly statues and what not to celebrate this ancient past, when most citizens have problems making the ends meet. However they should not cater to the megalomaniac Greek sentiments, who should mind their own business more than anything. Alexander the Great was of Albanian descent anyway.

I don't believe you're Albanian. Reading most of your comments, you seem to be trolling them. If you are Albanian, then you're a very pathetic troll.

Pontians like every Greek have relation to Ancient Macedonians. They too have fought for Macedonia. The Greek war for Independence was started by a Pontian Greek. They have been living in Macedonia for over 100 years and they consider all of Greece’s history their own because they have been part of the Greek nation since antiquity. Being isolated by other Greeks have different genetics just like Northern Italians have different genetics from Sicilians or Northern French from Southern. But that’s not an excuse to deny them their Italian or French history. Already in Roman times a great number of Southern Greeks were living in Macedonia and vice versa. Just like today a great number of Greeks from all over Greece live in Athens.

Even the Cypriots are more related to Macedonians than the Slavs and Peonians and Illlyrians who have always been their historical enemies. When Alexander took Tyre he was helped by the Cypriot king Pnytagoras who was descended from Achilles like Alexander, and supplied most of the navy. The Macedonians and the Cypriots were brothers. Cyprus was part of Alexandrian Egypt and kept its ties with the Greek world all the way until the present.

FYROM can become a good neighbour by ending its ILLEGAL monopolizing use of the GREEK name of Macedonia.If you read Herodotus you will find out that Macedonia, Ionia, and Achaia were ETHNIC terms and NEVER accepted as geographic terms by the Greeks. They moved with the people. Macedonia was the land where the Macedonian Greek lived, whether it be in Greece or on the planet Mars.

The Slavs NEVER used the term Macedonia or any of this derivatives in their entire history until Tito used it to make illegal territorial claims against Greece. They have no right to use a Greek tehnic term when this term has been used by Greek and ONLY Greeks for 3000 years and refers to a part of Greece. The FYROMian constitution expressly made territorial claims against the Greek region of Macedonia. They are making illegal clams against Greek territory and obviously the want to ethnically cleanse it since the FYROMians deny that the Macedonians were even Greek.

The questshould be asking is why wont the FYROMians stop being racially offensive and insulting to the people of Greece. If they had any appreciation for the history of the region the would not be trying to pass themselves of as "Macedonians" and degrade its orginators. The Slavs NEVER used Macedonia as either a racial or geographic term until the time of Tito.

Macedonians and Macedonia are integral to the history and heritage of modern Greeks. Tito and the revisionists of Fyrom have created a totally false history of the West Bulgarian people there in attempts to first deny their Bulgarian heritage and second to have claims on the real Macedonia area in the north of Greece. The evidence of this is readily available, and it basically forms a picture of denying the history and heritage of the Greeks and the mediaeval Bulgarians. Any attempts to claim "well it's geographic" anything is part of the scam. they have lost any and all rights to geographic anything by their attempts to distort history.
