Modern scholars and scientists have supported the notion that there is a racial connection to the ancient Greeks. Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza, Paolo Menozzi, and Alberto Piazza, have found evidence of a genetic connection between the ancient and modern Greeks. Recent genetic analyses of Greek populations have provided evidence of statistically significant continuity between ancient and modern Greeks!
Lovely ... If you decide to upgrade from "average Canadian traveller." and start making travel/history documentaries about Macedonia...there is much, much, much more!
You are in the wrong place ..my dear!..This is not Macedonia!..Macedonia is the Provence of northern Greece,..where all the palaces.of ALEXANDER,AND PHILIP are.. ALL the ancient cities ! BY MISTAKE YOU WENT TO BARDASKA!
@nixter888 you are so jealous....stop wasting air,but before that put some effort and return our land...and stop claiming some nonsence,you know that Aegean Macedonia is taken in 1913,and your country problem with us Macedonians,is because of greece's inside interests and problems...and Politican of yours said that himself on meeting in Usa...Check wikileaks,he says that greece has no prb with Macedonia and Macedonians...the problem bout the name is created around the late 80 for greece interest
@TheMegaArtist JEALOUS?...ABOUT YOU?...YOU STUPID FUCK,...SLAV I THINK YOU SHOULD RETURN THE REST OF MACEDONIA TO THE GREEKS!..OUR LAND!...GREEK LAND!..YOU SHOULD GO BACK TO THE STEPS OF RUSSIA ,FROM WHERE YOU COME FROM!..., by coming into contact with an entirely new culture, GREEK CULTURES with people who spoke differently,..THEY SPOKE GREEK and whose way of thinking was different from theirs,RATIONAL THINKING! THEY STARTED IMPOSE THEIR OWN LANGUAGE AND THEYSTARTED KILLING THE NATIVE GREEKS!
@nixter888 Byzantine documents provide information about the siege of Thessaloníki by the Avaro-Slavs in 586: "If one would imagine that all Macedonians, Thracians and Achaeans gathered in Salonica at that time, all of them together would not represent even a small part of that barbarian multitude which then besieged the town!..The Slavs adopted the ancient cultural heritage to an extent suitable for them as conquerors of the territory where the Ancient Macedonians Greeks had lived!
The Slavs who settled there and the Ancient Greek Macedonians who surrendered their land to them through storms and blood accomplished an epic fusion, which continues to be referred to as Macedonian throughout history!..It appears as if the main goal of the penetration of the Slavic tribes to the south was Salonica. "And they (the Slavs) stated that they came to besiege and conquer Salonica and the surrounding towns.
On July 25th, 877, the invaders made a decisive attack: they assaulted the town ramparts for three days, but did not succeed in storming them. The invaders were the Slavs who lived in the vicinity of Salonica, as stated by Byzantine sources; by the middle of the 9th century "all the Salonica people spoke pure Slavic and soon the city got it's Slavic name Solun", according to the same sources.YOUR KIND KILLED SO MANY GREEK MACEDONIANS THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE,AND YOU BASTARDS TOOK OUR COUNTRY!
The old Greek population (descendants of the ancient Macedonians THEY SUFFER IN THE BARBARIAN HANDS OF THE STUPID SLAVS! Historically all these Slavs came to be counted as "Bulgars". The original Bulgars were rapidly assimilated by their much more numerous Slavic subjects so that little more than their tribal name survives. The modern Bulgarians are certainly a Slavic people.
YOU SHOULD GO BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL HOME IN CASPIAN SEE ,AND LEAVE THE GREEKS AND MAQCEDONIA ALONE! YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO TELL US THAT WE ARE NOT GREEKS!..STUPID FUCK!...GREEKS ARE THE AUTOXTHONES OF GREECE,AND THEY LIVE IN THAT SACRED PLACE SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME!...GO TO YOUR CAVE NOW!..ANIMAL!
@nixter888 The deliberate and systematic campaign of Stealing, Distortion and Absorption of the Name, History and Culture of Macedonia by the Slavs of the Former Yugoslav Republic is ongoing today in full scale!. You . call yourself a "Macedonians" but the language you speak is a dialect of Bulgarian!...YOU LOOK LIKE CLOWNS!..EVERYBODY IS LAUGHING AT YOU!...YOU WILL NEVER PREVAIL SLAVS!...YOU WILL NEVER BE MACEDONIANS!..

@nixter888 ALEXANDER THE GREAT WAS KING OF MACEDONIA NOT GAYREECE, OR GAYLADA HA HA HA AND WILL ALLWAYS REMAIN THE KING OF MACEDONIA YOU STUPID BANCRUOPT IDIOTS !!!!
BASTARD!...Alexander carried with him throughout his conquests Aristotle’s edition of Homer’s Iliad. Alexander also spread Greek language and culture throughout his empire, founding cities and establishing centers of learning. Hence inscriptions concerning such typical Greek institutions as the gymnasium are found as far away as Afghanistan.
Macedonia and Macedonian Greeks have been located for at least 4-5000years just where the modern Greek province of Macedonia is. Exactly this same relationship is true for Attica and Athenian Greeks, Argos and Argive Greeks, Corinth and Corinthian Greeks, etc.....NOTHING FYROMIAN THERE! JEALOUS BASTARD?
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE A NATION WITH SLAVS who speak Slavic – a language introduced into the Balkans about a millennium after the death of Alexander – can claim him as their national hero. Alexander the Great was thoroughly and indisputably Greek!..World Academia spoke and condemned the unhistorical crap of FYROM’s propagandists. FYROM has essentially became the laughing stock of the world...IDIOTS!!!
@nixter888 talking about returning land !!! you like it or not you will have to return the teritories given to you by the big powers in 1913 back to MACEDONIAN PEOPLE our people who you dint kill in the last 99 years! August 2013 is coming !!!!
MACEDONIA FOR THE MACEDONIANS !!! МАКЕДОНИЈА НА МАКЕДОНЦИТЕ !!!
@abvgd2007 What the hell are you talking about?....YOU have the nerve to tell us to return to you our land that was ours since the dawn of time?..IDIOT!...When are you going to learn to be resemble? The area of Macedonia was named after Makedon, the son of Zeus and Thyia, daughter of Deucalion, as the poet Hesiod relates; and she became pregnant and bore to thunder-loving Zeus, two sons, Magnes and Macedon, the horse lover, those who dwelt in mansions around Pieria and Olympus!..ALL GREEK!
According to Marsyas of Pella, Makedon son of Zeus had by a local woman two sons Pierus and Amathus.[20] In the Ethnika of Stephanus (perhaps through Theagenes), sons and grandsons of Makedon are: Atintan (in the version of Lycaon) eponymous of a region in Epirus or Illyria , Beres, (father of Mieza, Beroea and Olganos, toponyms in Bottiaea), Europus by Oreithyia daughter of Cecrops and Oropus, birthplace of Seleucus I Nikator!...WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO WITH GREEK LAND,...SLAV?
Byzantine documents provide information about the siege of Thessaloniki,..OUR COUNTRY.. by the Avaro-Slavs in 586..Few ancient towns survived the invasion of the Slavs,The Slavs adopted the ancient cultural heritage to an extent suitable for them as conquerors of the territory where the Ancient Macedonians had lived,.killed many of them,in order to adopt their barbarian language,among other things. The Slavs settled there, surrendered the Greek land , through storms and the blood of the Greeks.
@nixter888 who is the IDIOT HERE? read something about the Balkans Wars, and you may learn something, YOU FRICKEN POOF !!!!! ARISTOTEL was not wecomed in athens becouse HE WAS MACEDONIAN !!!! The rest you should learn by yourself if you could you HELL ARSHOLE!!!!
@abvgd2007 LEARN FIRST HOW TO WRITE ENGLISH,AND STOP BEING SO IGNORANT AND DISTORTER!...Aristotle was not Greek you said?...Since when you have this information that he was not Greek?...DON'T TELL ME ,..I KNOW!...YOU FYROMIANS HAVE A VERY BIG PROBLEM,, Macedonia and Macedonian Greeks have been located for at least 2,800 years just where the modern Greek province of Macedonia .Aristotle was 100% Greek,..my dear Fyromian!..Do not embarrass your self anymore darling!..ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
@nixter888 . Exactly this same relationship is true for Attica and Athenian Greeks, Argos and Argive Greeks, Corinth and Corinthian Greeks, etc....
Euripides who died and was buried in Macedonia wrote his play Archelaos in honor of the great-uncle of Alexander, and in Greek. While in Macedonia, Euripides also wrote the Bacchai, again in Greek. Presumably the Macedonian audience could understand what he wrote and what they hear........
Alexanders father, Philip, won several equestrian victories at Olympia and Delphi, the two most Hellenic of all the sanctuaries in ancient Greece where non-Greeks were not allowed to compete. Even more significantly, Philip was appointed to conduct the Pythian Games at Delphi in 346 B.C. In other words, Alexander the Greats father and his ancestors were thoroughly Greek! THE PROPAGANDA OF YOUR GOVERNMENT HAS DONE A BIG DAMAGE TO YOUR BRAINS!
@nixter888 Aristotle was Greek,Alexander the Great was Greek, not Slavic, and Slavs and their language were nowhere near Alexander or his homeland until 1000 years late!...BEHAVE NOW FYROMIANS!...DO NOT WAKE UP THE BEAST,...RELAX!
@nixter888 I AM MACEDONIAN, NOT GAY-GREEK AND NOT YOUR DARLING !!!
YES ENOUGH IS ENOUGH OF YOUR LIES, EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT CAN YOU DO WHEN YOU HAVE MONEY TO PAY THE JUDGES ! BUT HEY NOT EVERYONE IS WILLING TO BE CORRUPT BAD LUCK THIS TIME AND NEXT, AND NEXT ....
MAKEDONIJA E NA MAKEDONCITE !!! Македонија е на Македонците !!!!
@abvgd2007 You are a SLAV!..NOTHING TO DO WITH MACEDONIANS!..Stop calling the Greeks names!..YOU ARE PATHETIC!...DO NOT PRONOUNS MAKEDONIA,WITH YOUR TERRIBLE LANGUAGE!....BEHAVE VARDASKAN SLAV!...A DOG CAN NEVER SAY HE IS A LION!...
@abvgd2007 All your ancestors from Tsar Samuil , kuber , Saint Naum , Milidanov brothers etc where pure Bulgarians. Here are the words from your proud hero:
"We are Bulgarians, more Bulgarians than the Bulgarians in Bulgaria themselves. "
There is a reason that you used Bulgarian city names like Solun for what real and acnient Macedonians call Thessaloniki (named after Alexanders sister)
@nixter888 why don't you go and sel your USED HELL ASS to some poof like you and leave us alone, we know what we are doing because WE ARE MACEDONIANS !!!! NOT GAY REEKS. You think about the shit you are in too even though you were served the 52 % of MACEDONIA in 1913, and lot of euros, you still fucked up bed, because that what you know TO FUCK YOURSELF !!! MACEDONIA WILL BE MACEDONIAN AGAIN !!!!! SOONER THEN YOU THINK !!!! МА- КЕ - ДОНИ-ЈА !!!!
@abvgd2007 YOU ARE FYROMIAN MONKEYS!...POOR BASTARDS,YOU HAVE NO IDENTITY AND YOU WANT TO STEAL OUR COUNTRY'S NAME!.....MACEDONIANS WERE GREEKS SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME...YOU DIRTY FYROMIANS!....OUST!.........."I Praise the Gods because I was Born GREEK"
[Alexander the Great, King of Macedonia]!....EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT!.......SLAVS!....DO NOT DARE CHALLENGE ME BASTARD!,,, "For us Greeks, we should NOT be slaves to barbarians"
@nixter888 ONE MORE THING ,..BASTARD!....DO YOU WANT OUR MACEDONIA?........I AM ASKING YOU.............DO YOU WANT OUR MACEDONIA??????.....ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ!!!!!!!
@abvgd2007 You have been political manipulated to belive you are Macedonian.All your history has been falsified. If you read any encyclopedian in the world will tell you that Aristoteles was Greek
"Aristotle (Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης, Aristotélēs) (384 BC – 322 BC)[1] was a Greek philosopher and polymath, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great"
This political propaganda have made you belive you are Macedonian and your country is Macedonia. But the truth is that you are Bulgarians
As everyone knows ancient Macedonians were former self-identifying ethnic Bulgarian whose homeland was the ancient Kingdom of Paeonia. During the Hellenistic period they spoke a Bulgarian dialect and self-identified as ethnic Bulgarians at ancient Olympic sporting events.
19th century "Macedonian" national hero Krste Misirkov: "We are Bulgarians, more Bulgarians than the Bulgarians in Bulgaria themselves."
Such a stupid video, if you are macedonian then i am hindo african american whatever and i can be whatever i want, hence i can be macedonian too, just like all of the people of the world. THERE ARE NOT scientific evidence to back it up, offcourse you are not scientist, historians, just lame brainfucked up people who call themselfs anything they fancy, in reality you know who your ancestors are, dont denny they are slavs, offcourse you can denny if i give you a dollar or two. Biases!
@deedeegr100 dream about it bro, your country is in the european union for 20 years, since then you have those financial issues. btw if you didn't had the sea than I would ask you from where were you gonna fill up your budget because Yugoslavia brought tourists from all the six republics in the 80's and 90's and the same Yugoslavia helped your country with credits. best regards
@rebstevenson Do you know you are basically part of ethnical cleansing of the real Macedonians?
You know the ones that lives in the real ancient Macedonian region in Greece and talk the language and uses the city names of the ancient Macedonians ( Greeks) versus
the former self determined Bulgarians from Fyrom (that was called Vardarska pre 1944), that lives on the territory of ancient Paeonia and speaks a renamed Bulgarian dialect.
It will take more then a bunch of Bulgarian renegades to ethnically cleansing Greeks..No my friend your not ethnic cleansing anyone..Your just promoting a LIE.
Thank you very much for showing some of the most beautiful parts of my country. It's a shame that some of my countryman haven't even seen the whole country, (because it's "too big") and yet dare to call themselves patriots. I hate it when someone argues about politics and the stupid name issue, that's why i would like to invite all people who are not bothered by politics to experience the wonders of my country themselves.
Macedonia is Greece..in a few years the banana republic will not exist anymore!It is a shame to history and to Greece that contributed to all the sciences and arts to try to steal Macedonia from us!MACEDONIA FOREVER GREECE!!!!
@deedeegr100 hey bro, your ancestors are from the helenic tribes get over it, that's why you call your country ELLADA - GREECE. If you're macedonian as you claim why your country isn't called Macedonia? P.S - Your country is a banana republic and you know that because you saw what has done to you the economic crisis (your country bankcrupted) despite the fact that your country is a member of the european union for 20 years.
@Zlatko989 HOW UNEDUCATED!!!!!!!!!!!!Yeah maybe we could name our country Pelopponisos, Thrace, Hipirus, Thessalia! You don't even know what Macedonia is! You remembered that you are "macedonians" 20 years ago!??How come??!??!!?!?Don t talk bananian because you have 30% unemployment in a population of 2.000.000!!!!!!!!!!! which includes 700.000 albanians!Hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa
AMazing video :), thanks for the upload its a shame there was not enough to show the other beauties like the city of Ohrid, the castles, ancient archeological sites such as Heraklea lynkjestis or Stobi and soo on, but still great work
nickgreek4 a day.....want some popcorn mate? Sounds like you ran out and have nothing better to do, then talk about other people's nationality. You're making fool of yourself. Want's some rakija maybe, Grkomanche?
@historicalliar11 where on earth is Fyrom vre?? I can't find it on any maps. Speaking of mongrel country, that's Greece.We are the Ancient Macedonians. Hope you enjoyed this video. Very nice. Don't you reckon? You wouldn't be here watching it if it wasn't LOL.
sbepot - You are slav/Bulgarians that live on the land of ancient Paeonia.
There is nothing macedonian about you. Not even one historian in the world agrees with you.
Stop acting as children trying to steal history from other countries.
In the year 914 ad Fyroms ancestor Tsar Samuil the Bulgarian where the enemy of macedonia. So 1300 years after the ancient macedonians you where still happy Bulgarians and enemies of macedonia.
Leave the politics aside and enjoy this beautiful video. There is only one Macedonia and it does exist. As for the disguised Greeks below, if you can show some respect here, would me much appreciated. Stop pretending to know Macedonian history when you's aren't "pure".
Here we have a country called "Fyrom" in all official organisations. Their territory was never part of macedonia but part of ancient Paeonia. Its citizens are ancestors of Bulgarians and Albanians.
These people now wants to monopolize the name maceonia. Denying the human rights of the real true macedonians that lives on the land of the ancient macedonians and speak the their language.
Also British investor in Macedonia!. Wondering if we know each other? Irish pub? I would dodge this debate mate. I had the same issue when I went through Greece on my way to buy some land to build a holiday home for my sons family in N cypress. Its hard to get objectivity, they are a very passionate people.. Agree with you on being taught a different version of events though. Nice country though Greece, why cant they all just get along?, because they all drink crap beer )
Good video! I am a Brit with a (recently) home in Macedonia and business here. Its a beautiful country for sure. I very much enjoy spending time in the mountains and villages. Amazing history and historical sites. Certainly enjoy my time here when I come over from London to support the business here.
"anyway, what sort of new Macedonian nation can this be when we and our fathers and grandfathers and great-grandfathers have always been called Bulgarians"
Omg save the rest of the facist politics and boring agenda pls. Rest of the world really dont give a damn about the Greeks latest tantrum. Might care more if you fix your economy and stop robbing the rest of the EU blind though. Off you go, there, your busy now.
SymonDymond - clearly you are not British. The British historians from universities such as Oxford and Cambridge demands Fyrom to stop with its propaganda and you is clearly part of it
Oxford and Cambridge are making political demands now? Please share the supporting information on that. Yes, my family have been English since 1066 when my ancestors first came to the UK from Normandy
SymonDymond - You historians are making historical demands. Demanding Fyrom stop with its historical propaganda. These people are ancestors of Bulgarians and have historical nothing to do with macedonia( which is in greece).
read about 400 world famouse historians which demand Fyrom to stop with its historical propagand
@historicaltruth11 Actually my family came to Britain in 1066 from what was then Normandy. I think I qualify as British thanks. Se now your even telling Englishmen they are no English. I think I see a pattern here. Personally I wait for the results of an Independant EU investigation before I make up my mind. My issue is simply I think Greece has far bigger things to worry about.
SymonDymond - just go to British musuem and learn some history. Dont pretend to be british when the only videos you are posting to are propaganda sites from Fyrom
Waiting for EU ha ha a britt saying that. That was joly funny he he he
The answers are clear: Alexander the Great was Greek, not Slavic, and Slavs and their language were nowhere near Alexander or his homeland until 1000 years later. This brings us back to the geographic area known in antiquity as Paionia. Why would the people who live there now call themselves Macedonians and their land Macedonia?
" the government in Skopje to understand that it cannot build a national identity at the expense of historic truth. Our common international society cannot survive when history is ignored, much less when history is fabricated."
I understand it's probably hard for you to accept this because u live in a biased country thats been feeding u a big portion of propaganda, as i bet happens in greece too for similar reasons. Everyone has to try tho to see this objectively and not in a biased nationalistic way if the two countries ever want to end this name silliness
rodworx - It is just not about the name. These ancestors of bulgarians are not jus ttrying to steal the name and history. But they are using the name to claim the land of real macedonia(the same territory as ancient macedonia) which is inside Greece.
They are dreaming of a united Fyrom with is captial which they call Solun. Ironically the ancient macedons called it Thessalonik named after Alexanders sister
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".
@forevermkd Hey there, sorry im nor greek but ive studied history - macedonia or basicly ancient macedonia was part of the Greek world, like Sparta or Corinth. Macedonia was revived only as a geographical term by the Othoman empire and that's how it should had stayed. I have to say tho that if anyone should carry this legacy today it should be the Greeks beacuase it rightfully belongs to them.
Macedonia is bigger region in the Balkan which is divided in 1913. Republic of Macedonia is the only one freed part of Macedaonia and that's why we says that are R.Macedonia.
If France occupy part of UK, does the occupied part would be called UK and the part which is free not?
@forevermkd So u r suggesting that Greece occupies a region of the rebublic of macedonia?? I find this outrageous. I've been recently looking into this matter as part of my work i think this quote sums up what is happening now.
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."
@tisbales You are greek speaking gypsies and you telling us that we are confused ????!!!! Pour lost souls, the only legacy that you have from ancient Hellens is pederasty, and world is seeing that. Be proud ;)
@aleksandarmac LOL!Changing 5 letters from the Bulgarian alphabet(which by the way we greeks invented and gave to you)makes a new language???Hahahahahah
dont need to take nothing back, they just need to rename their country more appropiately, like Cheap Slavic Imitation of Macedonia, or Wannabe-Macedonia, or Northern Barbarian Lands Once Conquered by Macedonia.
So the "average canadian" has never heard of Macedonia??? Does the name "Alexander the great" ring a bell?? No wonder you didn't even realize in which country you actually went and where Macedonia really is.
Great work Reb! A country is called by its name, and at the moment the name of this country is MACEDONIA, so I don't really understand what are all these Greek people bragging about.
@tisbales And you are a history expert? What is your evidence of this? Don't claim something when you don't know all the facts, you might end up talking nonsense.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This country is the Slavic part of Macedonia in Roman Times. It has nothing to do with Ancient Macedonia which was Greek , nothing to do with modern province of Macedonia which is still Greek.
it wasnt macedonia even in roman times. Modern day fyrom is the area called illyricum in roman times quite different to the province of Macedonia which is modern and Ancient day Greece. It was never Macedonia geographically
Macedonia Is Greek

@nixter888 Byzantine documents provide information about the siege of Thessaloníki by the Avaro-Slavs in 586: "If one would imagine that all Macedonians, Thracians and Achaeans gathered in Salonica at that time, all of them together would not represent even a small part of that barbarian multitude which then besieged the town!..The Slavs adopted the ancient cultural heritage to an extent suitable for them as conquerors of the territory where the Ancient Macedonians Greeks had lived!

The Slavs who settled there and the Ancient Greek Macedonians who surrendered their land to them through storms and blood accomplished an epic fusion, which continues to be referred to as Macedonian throughout history!..It appears as if the main goal of the penetration of the Slavic tribes to the south was Salonica. "And they (the Slavs) stated that they came to besiege and conquer Salonica and the surrounding towns.

On July 25th, 877, the invaders made a decisive attack: they assaulted the town ramparts for three days, but did not succeed in storming them. The invaders were the Slavs who lived in the vicinity of Salonica, as stated by Byzantine sources; by the middle of the 9th century "all the Salonica people spoke pure Slavic and soon the city got it's Slavic name Solun", according to the same sources.YOUR KIND KILLED SO MANY GREEK MACEDONIANS THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE,AND YOU BASTARDS TOOK OUR COUNTRY!

rodworx - It is just not about the name. These ancestors of bulgarians are not jus ttrying to steal the name and history. But they are using the name to claim the land of real macedonia(the same territory as ancient macedonia) which is inside Greece.
They are dreaming of a united Fyrom with is captial which they call Solun. Ironically the ancient macedons called it Thessalonik named after Alexanders sister
So no this is not silines.

@forevermkd Hey there, sorry im nor greek but ive studied history - macedonia or basicly ancient macedonia was part of the Greek world, like Sparta or Corinth. Macedonia was revived only as a geographical term by the Othoman empire and that's how it should had stayed. I have to say tho that if anyone should carry this legacy today it should be the Greeks beacuase it rightfully belongs to them.

Macedonia is bigger region in the Balkan which is divided in 1913. Republic of Macedonia is the only one freed part of Macedaonia and that's why we says that are R.Macedonia.
If France occupy part of UK, does the occupied part would be called UK and the part which is free not?

@forevermkd So u r suggesting that Greece occupies a region of the rebublic of macedonia?? I find this outrageous. I've been recently looking into this matter as part of my work i think this quote sums up what is happening now.

dont need to take nothing back, they just need to rename their country more appropiately, like Cheap Slavic Imitation of Macedonia, or Wannabe-Macedonia, or Northern Barbarian Lands Once Conquered by Macedonia.
no bloodshed needed.

So the "average canadian" has never heard of Macedonia??? Does the name "Alexander the great" ring a bell?? No wonder you didn't even realize in which country you actually went and where Macedonia really is.

Tourism in "Macedonia" sucks, worst hotels ever.

well stay the fuck out of Macedonia. If you don't like Macedonia go back to where the fuck you came from!

Great work Reb! A country is called by its name, and at the moment the name of this country is MACEDONIA, so I don't really understand what are all these Greek people bragging about.

Thanks Natasha. I'm not trying to make any kind of political statement, I'm just looking at it through the eyes of the average Canadian traveller.

This country is the Slavic part of Macedonia in Roman Times. It has nothing to do with Ancient Macedonia which was Greek , nothing to do with modern province of Macedonia which is still Greek.

it wasnt macedonia even in roman times. Modern day fyrom is the area called illyricum in roman times quite different to the province of Macedonia which is modern and Ancient day Greece. It was never Macedonia geographically

yes of course, i am referring only to Ochrid , Monastir and Heraclea. My mistake.

Yeap you're right , and it was called Paionia before that, not Macedonia.
