Operation:Educate FYROM

Correction:
The rock on 4:35 is from 10-11 century.

Samuel was the Emperor (Tsar) of the First Bulgarian Empire from 997 to 6 October 1014. From 980 to 997, he was a general under Roman I of Bulgaria, the second surviving son of Emperor Peter I of Bulgaria, and co-ruled with him, as Roman bestowed upon him the command of the army and the effective royal authority.As Samuel struggled to preserve his country's independence from the Byzantine Empire, his rule was characterized by constant warfare against the Byzantines and their equally ambitious ruler Basil II.

In his early years Samuel managed to inflict several major defeats on the Byzantines and to launch offensive campaigns into their territory. In the late 10th century, the Bulgarian armies conquered the Serb principality of Duklja and led campaigns against the Kingdoms of Croatia and Hungary. But from 1001, he was forced mainly to defend the Empire against the superior Byzantine armies. Samuel died of a heart attack on 6 October 1014, two months after the catastrophic battle of Kleidion, and Bulgaria was fully subjugated by Basil II four years later.

Samuel was considered "invincible in power and unsurpassable in strength". Similar comments were made even in Constantinople, where John Kyriotes Geometres penned a poem offering a punning comparison between the Bulgarian Emperor and a comet which appeared in 989.

How is possible these stupid people of FYROM to believe that are children of Alexander the Great? (He was Greek and therefore had no children!)

How is possible to believe that Samuil was not Bulgarian? He was Bulgarian Char!!!

How is possible to Believe that the Byzantine Emperor Vasilios was their king, when he was killing them???

How stupid can they be? They are Slavs with some Albanian, Turkish and Greek minorities (with almost no rights).

FYROM is a pseudo-state.-

Цар Самуил е една от най-величавите и същевременно една от най-трагичните емблеми в българската история. Вечна му Слава на Царя Самуил и неговите ослепени български войници!! Да живее България!!

Дете, кое не знае, кой му е баща, вика на всеки татко - и на гъркот Александър, и на българския цар Самуил, и на албанския герой Скендербрг, дори ... на турчинот Ататюрк! Така е, когато се отричаш от истинските си корени.

What is so funny is that Tsar Samuel was fighting with Basil I "the Macedonian" Byzantine Emperor. Basil I by the way was an ethnic Armenian born in the REGION of Macedonia.

The truth is that macedonians are in fact bulgarians being lied about their history for more than 60+ years, so don't expect us (macedonians) to accept the truth over night. Macedonians and Bulgarians are same population living in two separate states, so don't argue or insult your brothers in macedonia. Try to understand that all you have to do is present the history facts and try to make them understand that they have bulgarian roots. Greetings from Macedonia.

Bulgaria+Macedonia FOREVER!

Думата "хан" всъщност не може да се види на нито един исторически източник. Тя е въведена от историците чак през 20век или края на 19-ти.
