  • Откога Българския символ ЛЪВЪТ,стана символ и на Македония? Смешни па чак и смешни са тез македоски кухоглавци.

  • Im an historian and i understand the difference between, ANCIENT MAKEDON (the root of Macedonia), the various IMPERIAL REGIONS OF MACEDONIA (some even in historical Thrace under Byzantine emperor Basil) the last of which, the Ottoman one, which now the modern region, MODERN GREEK MAKEDONIA (the only people to have historical claim on MAKEDON), and FYR 'MACEDONIA' (in REGION OF MACEDONIA) (former Yugoslav Vardar Bavonia prior to Tito and communist "you r Makedon" propaganda).

    Internet republic.

  • macedoniaaaaaaaaaaa foreveeeeeeeeer :)

  •  LONG LIVE THE BULGARIAN LION

  • did you hear that vardaska had to take the vegina sun out of its university degrees because it is a MACEDONIAN symbol??? The university of Macedonia, Thessaloniki IS THE ONLY ONE THAT IS ALLOWED TO USE THE VERGINA SUN! hahahaha busted FYROZEROS

  • YOU RE SO LAME! REALLY EVEN THE ANCIENT MAKEDONIAN COINS WERE IN GREEK LANGUAGE!

    AND SECOND,ALEXANDER THE GREAT LIVED IN MAKEDONIA AND HE PARTICIPETED IN OLYMPIC GAMES,324 BC(JUST LIKE PHOELLIPUS HIS FATHER). AND WE ALL KNOW THAT ONLY GREEKS WERE ALLOWES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES,GREEK CITIZENS AND NO ONE ELLS.SO THE ANCIENT MAKEDONIA WAS A PART OF GREECE.GET L-O-S-T skopjans!

  • @Joanne7u8 /watch?v=VHQ4lmfuV40 go and take a look stupid gayreek and stop to be so racist

  • @Joanne7u8 χαιρετισμούς από την Θεσσαλονίκη αδελφούς Μακεδόνες είναι υπερήφανοι που το παιδί της ελληνικής Μακεδονίας καταλήφθηκε από τους φασίστες! Gordo makedonijo.I also wrote greek but im macedonian newer greek !Pozz od SOLUN!

  • @mklostsoul Cmon now. We must stop lying. We all now that we are Bulgarians. We have no connection with the real macedonia that is a place in Greece. We must enter EU and with the stolen Greek name of macedonia we will never enter. I am proud to be vardarskian. Thats the real name of our country : VARDARSKA. And we all must be proud to be Bulgarians. So stop all these stupid lies because all the planet is laughing with as. macedonia = Greece Fyrom= vardarska = Bulgaria.
  • BROTHERS we can't steal history, is not our and the world knows the truth. We can't change history. Time to face the truth. Don't let the extremist using you because that's what they do right now. We are Slav Bulgarians.

    PEACE

  • The four greater beams represent the four points of the orizon (north, south, east west) and the rest 12 beams represented the dodekatheon (the 12 major ancient greek gods). If the macedonians were not related to the greeks why they needed to symbolize the greek gods upon their emblem?

  • Can the so called "Macedonians" explain the sybolism of the 16beam star which they use as national symbol? I think they can't because the use of this symbol is a product of historical and cultural theft.

  • macedoniantruth org /2009/06/17/greece-and-the-uni­ted-nations-recognizes-the-mac­edonian-language-in-1982/

  • ... in the same time??? The south part of macedonia was taken in 1913 from the GREECE COWARDS that were waiting for Macedonia to become soft of the wars and to steal our land.

  • There is no GREECE PEOPLE, the greeks are mixed of Athens, Spartans and a lot of ancient races, and the name GREECE is given by the Romans. But, there were ancient Macedonians on our land and the THESSALONIKI part of Macedonia, and later, this land was populated by the slavic people which became slavo macedonians, not bulgarians. We had a Czas Samoil that was fighting against the bulgarians and for this Samoil, the damn bulgarians said that he is their king, but how come Bulgaria had tow kings..

  • My fellow "Macedonians" the time come for us to give up this dream. We are not descendants of the ancient Macedonians just macedonians who live in a part of Macedonia land. It's time to ask for forgiveness from the GREEKS and be friends. We have no chanse of taking soething which was never us in the first place. I know it will be hard for you all but the truth must be told and we have to face it. It's time to ask for forgiveness from our Neighbours the Greeks and be friends. IT'S TIME.

  • Makedonia is a greek word, Alexandros is a greek word= the man who dissipate the men (alex is αλεξ from the ancient greek word αλεξω which means dissipate and andros is from andras-ανδρας which means man,male).The same is for the word alexikeravno (alex=dissipate and keravnos=lightining).The same with the word alexisfairo(alex and sfaira=cannon ball and is what policemen or soldiers wear for their protection).Also, Philippos is from the words phil=φιλώ which means keep and ippos=ίππος=horse.

  • @unfukkkmee, if Macedonia is Greek, why you divided it in 1913? Why to divide something yours?

  • @forevermkd MACEDONIA IS GREEK / HELLENIC

    stop slavic propaganda you have no idea for history

  • @forevermkd Ww didnt divide anything, we liberate Macedonia from turks, the only region we lost is the Monastiri region,the Serbian army wait for Hellenic troops to arrive but the army moved to liberate Thessaloniki.So 90% of ancient Macedonia is free again.Later this area given to Yugoslavia.

    When central and north FYROM was Macedonia?

  • I talk about the region of Macedonia in that period, 1913!

    However in the documents from Buckhurest agreement is written that Greece OCCUPIED Aegean Macedonia, and also your king from that South Macedonia is "an occupied territory" by Greece.

    I am from Salonika and there now lives some Turkish-Christians, United Macedonia!

  • MACEDONIA FOREVER

  • ALEXANDER addressing the dead ATHENIANS after the battle of Chaeronia:

    " Holy shadows of the dead, I'm not to blame for your cruel and bitter fate, but the accursed rivalry which brought SISTER NATIONS and BROTHER PEOPLE, to fight one another, I do not feel happy for this victory of mine. On the contrary, I would be glad BROTHERS if I had all of you standing here next to me, since we are united by the SAME LANGUAGE. the SAME BLOOD and the SAME visions"

    (Curtius Rufus 6,3,11 Historia)

  • MACEDONIA FOR THE MACEDONIANS

  • Ако се Македонски, тогаш сте на грчкиот јазик. Ако мислите дека не сте грчки тогаш ти си Словен. Што ви се;

  • ние сме на словенско потекло !

  • Можеби ние сме на словенско потекло;

  • mesani sme

  • The meaning of the name Macedonia in Ancient Greek.

    The name of the latter two probably derives from the Doric noun μᾶκος, mākos (Attic and modern Greek μάκρος, mákros and μῆκος, mēkos), meaning "length", and the adjective μακεδνός, makednós, meaning "tall, taper", since both the Macedonians (Makedónes) and their Makednoi tribal ancestors were regarded as tall people.

  • Question: if they were not Greeks why did they use one 100% Greek name to define their own nation?

  • Why do we have bulgarian alphabet in Skopjie???

  • looks like macedonia will never become slavic in history, cause even your ancestors tried that hard , they ended up living in paionia and making their descedants fantasising they r sth they r not, in order to have a chance to achieve sth they were unable to do by war

  • FUCK OFF GAY-REEK

  • True Macedonian is a person that at least can undestand this : Ο Αλεξανδρος ο Μεγας ηταν Ελλην (For those who have no idea about history, this is the maternal language of King Filippus and Alexander the Great).

    Fake Macedonia(Aka Monkeydonian) is the one that says : Александар Велики су Словени

    lolololol!!! Miserable Slavs.

    PS:VARDAR-SKATA.(Fyrom-shit)

  • i have read it and it's completely nonacademic and is a joke. have you read the many criticisms of this letter? did you know many of the "classical scholars" have removed their names from the letter? you fucking losers get off our Macedonian dicks already.

  • macedonia is greece....

  • Macedonia is derived from 2 ancient Greek words. "Mekos" and "Adonis" or "Makednos" meaning "the tall one" reffering to the stature of the peoples of this ancient Greek tribe.

  • The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia's territory was named Macedonia during the Ottoman Empire in the19th century identifying a GEOGRAPHICAL region NOT the ancient KINGDOM OF MACEDON. FYROM occupies 1/10 of the ancient Kingdom of Macedon, while authentic Macedonia (now a Greek province) in Greece occupies 9/10 of the ancient Kingdom of Macedon.

  • FYROM, a very new state in the Balkans with citizens mainly of Slavic and Albanian origin decided to monopolize the Greek terms Macedonia which was given to them by General Tito in 1944, despite the fact that those terms have been in use for 2800 years describing the ancient Macedonian Kingdom, part of the Greek World and the actual Macedonians, a Greek people (Dorians).

  • The name "macedonia" was given to the Southern Yugoslavian providence by General Tito aiming to create conflict in the region and to obtain Greek and Bulgarian territories. Before the 2nd World War FYROM was called Vardarska.

  • Extremely interesting is the U.S. State Dep. Foreign Relations Vol. VII, Circular Airgram [868.014], which was sent by then Secretary of State E. Stettinius, December 26th 1944, to all consular officials, informing them of the act to create a separate "Macedonia," as a "cloak for aggression against Greece."

  • ".............................­.........This Government considers talk of "Macedonian Nation", "Macedonian Fatherland", or "Macedonian National Consciousness" to be unjustified demagoguery representing no ethnic or political reality, and sees in its present revival a possible cloak for aggressive intentions against Greece".

  • and you are mazo-chist

  • IT WAS AND IT IS, from begging until now and forever.

    thracians was not greek , they Hellenize after.

    But the dorians was greek , always, like other dorians the Lakedaimonians (sparta).

  • How is possible Macedonia to be Greece.They have own flag,kings,fighters for freedom and we all know about exiled macedonians from 1963 who leave now in KANADA.

    Eugene N. Borza, American historian, expert on Macedon:

    "Modern Slavs, both Bulgarians and 'Macedonians', cannot establish a link with antiquity, as the Slavs entered the Balkans centuries after the demise of the ancient Macedonian kingdom. Only the most radical Slavic factions—mostly émigrés in the United States, Canada, and Australia—even attempt to establish a connection to antiquity."

    "The twentieth-century development of a "Macedonian" ethnicity, and its recent evolution into independent statehood following the collapse of the Yugoslav state in 1991, has followed a rocky road. In order to survive the vicissitudes of Balkan history and politics, the "Macedonians", who have had no history, need one."

    "Their own so-called "Macedonian" ethnicity had evolved for more than a century, and thus it seemed natural and appropriate for them to call the new nation "Macedonia" and to attempt to provide some cultural references to bolster ethnic survival.

  • 1. The ancient Macedonians were a distinct nation, separate from their neighbors, the ancient Greeks, Illyrians, and Thracians. The ancient Greek and Roman historians tell us that the Macedonians spoke a separate Macedonian language and had their own customs, culture, and traditions. Archeological discoveries confirm that the material culture of the Macedonians also defer greatly from all their neighbors, and it is by far more superior in artistry (gold, paintings, weapons, mosaics)

  • then anything found in contemporary Greece, Illyria, and Thrace. The texts of the ancient writers distinguish the Macedonians from the ancient Greeks, just like they distinguish the Romans and the Carthaginians. Yet, like the other non-Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Illyrians, and Thracians, the Macedonian high society also used the Greek language along with Macedonian. Greek was spoken by the nobility of many different ancient nations,
