Let's play a little game my dear Australopitheki. I shall call it, "Spot the Slavic name".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saints...ius#Early_life
I can't find it... All I find are Greek names (Cyril, Methodius, Leo, Theoktistos) a Latin name (Constantine) a Jewish name (Maria) and even an Armenian one (Bardas)!!!The two brothers were born in Thessalonica, in present-day Greece – Cyril in about 827–828 and Methodius about 815–820. Cyril was reputedly the youngest of seven brothers; he was born Constantine,[6] but took the name Cyril upon becoming a monk in Rome shortly before his death,[7][8][9] according to the Vita Cyrilli ("The Life of Cyril"). Methodius was born Michael and took the name Methodius upon becoming a monk at Mysian Olympus (present-day Uludağ), in northwest Turkey.[10] Their father was Leo, a droungarios of the Byzantine theme of Thessalonica, and their mother was Maria.
The exact ethnic origins of the brothers are unknown, there is controversy as to whether Cyril and Methodius were of Slavic[11] or Byzantine Greek[12] origin, or both.[13] The two brothers lost their father when Cyril was fourteen, and the powerful minister Theoktistos, who was logothetes tou dromou, one of the chief ministers of the Empire, became their protector. He was also responsible, along with the regentBardas, for initiating a far-reaching educational program within the Empire which culminated in the establishment of the University of Magnaura, where Cyril was to teach. Cyril was ordained as priest some time after his education, while his brother Methodius remained only a deacon until 867/868.[14]
Interestingly, the Greek names outnumber all the others 4 to 3...
My guess is that even the Armenians have a better claim to the Macedonian legacy than you do. The very "Macedonian" dynasty was... Armenian after all!!!
Cut the crap Australopitheki. I know how had it is for you to know that every notable person from Macedonia was more or less Greek, but you'll have to live with that...

I want a Federation with Bulgaria, if the opinion of this Shiptar is to be taken seriously.
Why do I want a union with Bulgaria?
1. Bigger Population country will be good for business, capital and labor will be able to move between these two countries.
2. Exit to the sea.
3. I kind of like Bulgarians.
