[MKISMK1913]

Modern Bulgarian historiography claims, the Bulgar conquest of parts of Macedonia transformed the Macedonians and the Slavs in Macedonia into Bulgarians. The claim is quite ridiculous.

EG : a) There is NO recorded settlement of Bulgars in Macedonia.......cont

[MKISMK1913]

b) The Bulgar intrusion into Macedonia was nothing but a temporary conquest by foreign armies. Because it was a temporary conquest it is impossible to imagine that the Macedonians suddenly "evolved" into Bulgarians. The case is identical with Serbia since the Bulgarian armies also conquered that country. The Serbs as we know didn't turn into Bulgarians either.....cont

[MKISMK1913]

c) Modern Bulgarian historiography also claims that the apostle brothers St. Cyril and Methodius from the 10th century, who came from the largest Macedonian city Salonica were Bulgarians. However such claim is also impossible since Salonica was never taken by the Bulgarians.....cont

[MKISMK1913]

d) They also deny that the modern Macedonians are descendents of the ancient Macedonians, but ironically it recognizes that the modern Bulgarians are descendents of the ancient Thracians. Right away they contradict themselves since it is impossible to imagine that the Thracians existed in the 7th century.

Coming to an end is the magnificent

exhibition on ancient Macedonia at

the Ashmolean museum, University

of Oxford (UK) entitled:

"From Heracles to Alexander the Great,

the Legend of Macedon: AN HELLENIC

KINGDOM in the age of Democracy."

[David H. Levinson, 'The Encyclopaedia of ancient Cultures]

"It should be noted that there is NO CONNECTION

between the Macedonians of the time

of Alexander the Great who were related to

other Hellenic (Greek) tribes, and the

'macedonians' of today [FYRoM], who are

of Slavic origin and related to Bulgarians."

[Prof. N G L Hammond (1992) 'The Miracle that was Macedonia' p.206]

"As members of the GREEK RACE

and SPEAKERS OF THE GREEK LANGUAGE,

the ancient Macedonians shared the ability

to initiate ideas and create political forms."

[HaggisMacfee]

[Prof. Donald Kagan - Yale University (USA)]

"We know the ancient Macedonians

were fundamentally GREEKS. That is to say,

they were GREEK SPEAKERS,

and ETHNICALLY they were GREEKS."
