Macedonian name change irks Greece - 18 Jan 08

For more than 15 years, Greece has fought a diplomatic battle to prevent its northern neighbour calling itself the Republic of Macedonia.

Although 120 countries recognise the name, Greece believes it implies a terroritorial claim over its own province of Macedonia. 

It is now threatening to contest Macedonia's Nato and EU membership.

So as i said greeks are afraid of us that's all! The truth hurts them that's why the are bullshing all the time. Alexander was Macedonian as his father was, 50% of the Greece is Macedonian part - Aegean Macedonia, so know what the fuck greeks are talking about??? Who the fuck are they??? Macedonians maybe??? Yes, yes they are macedonians, greeks does not exist!!! FORMER MACEDONIAN REPUBLIC OF "GREECE"!!! LONG LIVE MACEDONIA!!! PROUD TO BE THE 2500 YEARS OLD NATION, PROUD TO BE MACEDONIAN!!!

[MrMakedon3c]

Greece has part of the Real-United Macedonia, The Aegean Macedonia, so that's why they do not support the name Republic of Macedonia, alos Pela is located in Aegean Macedonia(United Macedonia). So as we can see greeks are afraid of supporting the name Republic of Macedonia cuz one day we will bring back our Aegean Macedonia! Whole World knows about Alexander III Macedonian known as Great, that he was Macedonian and was killing greeks, also about the our symbol the Vergina Sun!
