its very simple meri if its true,we are a different race from the other balkanians,most of them are slavs serbs,bulgarians, macedonians,croatians,slovenians etc.you all speak very close languages,you came in the area of balkans about the same time and you are like relatives-the same way we are with the cypriots.on the other hand turkish people are very close to albanians because of the religion.our languege is uniq,it doesn look like to any other indoeuropaic language…dont forget the expressio΄΄its greek to me΄΄

@eleni

I see that you claim to be both Greek and Macedonian at the same time, so are you of a mixed ethnical background?

Lets try and find out how Greek you really are, because satistically you should be of Refugee origins, so could you be so honest and tell us your ethnical background?

And please tell us your connection to Alexander the Macedonian, and when you are at it, please show me a historical source stating that all of the Macedonian population was wiped out when the socalled Slavs came, you could also be so kind a show us a document of this socalled migration aswell.

Please answer the questiones posed to you.

im macedonian,im greek, im very proud .my village is only 20 kilometers of fyrom-of lake doirani.we could live in peace if you understaind that taking the history of other nations is not the right way to make your owoun history.it is ok with me you to have the name macedonia -only by geografical term,not historical..really why donot you accept that you are slavs?do you feel shame of that?even and eugene borza (i think you love him so much) says you have nothing to do with the ancient macedonians,he says you came in area 700 ys after the death of alexander. is it right or wrong? doesnt he?

@Makedonika
( Please delete my previous post. I noticed there are a couple of typos; here is the corrected version. Thanks)

The Greek goverment recognizes that there are slavic speaking people in Macedonia. Some of those (slavic speaking) declare that they don’t identify with the Greek ethinicity. No problem. The problem comes in when they declare that they are ethnic Macedonians. The Greek goverment (and all the Greeks) do not accept the existence of a Macedonian ethnicity. I know it is hard for you to accept this (and understandable). And it is not only the Greek goverment (and the Greeks) that hold that point of view. If I am not mistaken, none of your neighbors accepts the existence of a Macedonian ethnicity. If you are interested in an independent point of you, take a look at this:
Macedonia – More than a name – Part 1

Macedonia – More than a name – Part 2

I found this to be very informative. I hope, you do, too.

Commented by makedonika: John this video is very Pro-Greek, it mentions a very crucial fact and that is the Refugees of the 1920s who alter the ethnic character of Aegean Macedonia. It is thanks to these Refugees that Aegean Macedonia is Greek today.
It is also very nice to see these young men visiting their native village of Rakovo(renamed in the 1930s to Krateron), you will hear the old lady half way thru the Part 3 video speaking Macedonian. The Hellenism of Macedonia is just a blanket that is laid over all the land, it is artificial. Thank you for showing me the village of Rakovo and that its inhabitants still speak Macedonian.
