Why Skopjans are not Macedonians:
1. GEOGRAPHICALLY
The biggest part of King Philip's ancient Macedonia was mainly in Greece. Geographically there are 2 more Macedonians as part of Bulgaria and Skopje, but no important historic event took place there. Not to mention that the area above Skopje was never part of the Greek Macedonia. Where as Macedonian history took place in Greece (Pella, Vergina etc.).
2. ETHNOLOGICALLY
They use Cyrillic Bulgarian alphabet but they are Slavs that came in the area after the 6th century aC. Kyro Gligorov, their ex president admitted this.
They used a Slavobulgarian dialect that they named as "Macedonian language", a thing that doesn't exist. Based upon this fake language they name themselves Macedonians.
The truth is that they are Slavish people speaking a Bulgarian dialect.
3. HISTORICALLY
Their unhistorical arguments of a connection to ancient Macedonia and a discrimination between ancient Greeks and ancient totally fail and is a product of Propaganda. Historically and culturally Slavs have nothing to do with ancient Macedonia, which history began 1000 years before they came in the Balcanic area. I don't have to mention that Alexander was Greek, spoke Greek and all Macedonian is without any doubt Greek.
"We do not claim to be descendants of Alexander the Great...we are Slavs and we speak a Slav language." Ljubica Achevska,2001.
"We are not related to the northern Greeks who produced leaders like Philip and Alexander the Great. We are a Slav people and our language is closely related to Bulgarian." He also commented, "There is some confusion about the identity of the people of my country." Gyordan Veselinov,1999.
"We are Slavs who came to this area in the sixth century ... we are not descendants of the ancient Macedonians" Kiro Gligorov,1992, same year he added: "We are Macedonians but we are Slav Macedonians. That's who we are! We have no connection to Alexander the Greek and his Macedonia... Our ancestors came here in the 5th and 6th century"
