For now, following.

Kiro Gligorov ex President of F.Y.R.O.M. in June 1992:

"We are Slavs..."

The problem of Macedonia is the problem of many disputed territories such as Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transnistria, Nagorno-Karabakh, Catalonia, Scotland, Veneto, Quebec, and so on and so on. Therefore, it is best to leave this problem alone and wait for the moment when the borders between states will disappear by themselves. Any attempt to resolve the conflict by force will only lead to war, as it has already happened more than once. In my opinion, the best solution is economic superiority many times over, which will automatically solve all the problems. It's just that the people themselves will solve all the problems with joining. Today's Greece still has a very unenviable economic situation, despite the fact that it is a member of NATO, but Macedonia is not a member of NATO still.

How the Slavs who appeared into the area 700 years after Christ can claim they were there 1,000 years before (time of Alexander the Great) and claim they descended from him?

Very absurd. They should mind their own business. I guess they have no important people of their own in their history.

Vardarska sounds very appropriate because it is their river, their lifeline.

It seems that the time of the main question of the discussion thread has not come yet. It would be interesting to see a reasoning of people from this country, here, on RG net. What is the basis of their demand? Do they feel that they move towards the right direction? Can the history be counterfeited so easily?

''Macedonia is Greek, the home of Philip and Alexander and Methodius and Cyril. The Vatican condemns any falsification of history.''

--Pope John Paul II

I love Greece and their rich history and many advancements in diverse fields of human endeavor. Their pride cannot be taken away from them.

"FOREIGN RELATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES: DIPLOMATIC PAPERS, 1945, THE NEAR EAST AND AFRICA, VOLUME VIII

The Secretary of State to Certain Diplomatic and Consular Officers

... The Department has noted with considerable apprehension increasing propaganda rumors and semi-official statements in favor of an autonomous Macedonia, emanating principally from Bulgaria, but also from Yugoslav Partisan and other sources, with the implication that Greek territory would be included in the projected state. This Government considers talk of Macedonian “nation,” Macedonian “Fatherland,” or Macedonian “national consciousness” to be unjustified demagoguery representing no ethnic nor political reality, and sees in its present revival a possible cloak for aggressive intentions against Greece."

I agree with Dr. Aristidis Matsoukis

History will not be able to falsify the cultural heritage of these ancient countries, known for their long history throughout the ages, such as the history of the Yuan, the civilization of Babylon, Assyria and others.

Latest update:

• Our Vardarski neighbours asked us Greeks to share our cultural heritage with them!

What is a cultural heritage to be shared with?

A common river like Vardar?

What else are we going to listen...

Dear Abdullah,

Slightly clever, they defined themselves as 'Macedonians' inside former Yugoslav as a local territory and then started teaching their children that they come from Alexander the Great...

The fact that they are Slavs never was popular to them...

What to say?

Any Institution for Country Psycho-Analysis to cure them?

I copy without emotions and with a scientific regard from a related article: ‘Churchill once said that in war the truth is so precious it has to be surrounded with a bodyguard of lies’.

The question of Balkans, the war in Yugoslavia and its dissolution, the appearance of Skopje territory as a new state (was a region of Yugoslavia) with large part of its population Albanians and the other one Slaves and Bulgarians is surrounded ‘according to Churchill’ with a bodyguard of lies.

The main interest is the Aegean sea, the control of Bosporus (Bosporos) and the energy question. This is why Greece is currently under IMF and German/Troika occupation.

Troika: the European Commission (EC), the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)

German interests in the war against Yugoslavia

Dear Abdullah,

What if I copy your name and I claim that me is you?

Do you think that it is a scientific action?

And please I ask you not to be emotional after I'll have theft your name, you are a scientist, aren't you?

I think you are mixing apples and oranges...
