Below, the term Macedonian has its proper meaning that was and is “Greek from Macedonia” and the term Macedonia refers to the land from Pindus to Strymon and from Olympus to Ohrid-Gevgelja line. Skopje never was in Macedonia.
Congratulations to all House Representatives who had a rightful and brave resolution about Macedonians and SlavoSkopians. Macedonians have always been Greeks and all World MUST respect this name of that ancient proud Greek tribe.
The truth is that SlavoSkopian propaganda is still misguiding SlavoSkopian pupils and adults by distorting, cutting, and sometimes killing Macedonian history and past. If they say to their OWN pupils that Macedonians had always Greek names, toponyms, ways, heroes, gods, dialect and spread Greek Language and Civilization to the World, if they say to their OWN people that all SlavoSkopian heroes clearly stated that they were Bulgarian, there would be no name problem.
How could you SlavoSkopians DENY your conspiracies over Macedonia? How do you call Macedonia (Greece) in your books or maps? Then how do you separate those “two” Macedonias (your fake one and our true one?)
The explication you have about the renaming of Skopje Airport is childish and you deserve it. We wouldn’t have any problem with this name if your country hadn’t pathetically attempted to peculate the name of Macedonia. No other country on earth attempts to be named Macedonia but yours, while you are Macedonian NOTHING. Skopje NEVER was in Macedonia. Skopje was Dardanian then Kossovian then Vardarskan capital.
Those 120 countries don’t bother about Macedonian name. Greece does. And if there was no name problem those 120 countries would be 200, including Greece.
None of those ■ labeled statements allows you to usurp the name of Macedonia. Your country would be more progressive if you stopped that stupid attempt of yours to monopolize the name of Macedonia, a name you are not related to but geographically!
The most important term in interim agreement is the issue of the name. You have chosen that Macedonian star flag in order to use it a negotiations’ weapon. You probably do the same thing with Airport name. We wouldn’t care about names or symbols if you rejected the name of Macedonia from your identity’s name.
The FYROM does hold exclusive rights over the Macedonian name when it attempts to be named Macedonia. How could we believe that you don’t attempt to monopolize the name of Macedonia when we see you insisting so passionaly to have a name that is not related to you? Any country named Macedonia has full and exclusive rights over that name in UN and its citizens are Macedonian. This means that nothing Macedonian can exist outside of that country. This is totally unacceptable by us Greeks. If you really don’t want to monopolize the name of Macedonia, don’t make it a country’s or a people’s name. Let it be a geographic name free for use from all peoples of Macedonia.
