Boris Sarafov, Macedonia and the Macedonians, 1913!

Translation into English:

Macedonia and the Macedonians

We the Macedonians, are no Serbs nor Bulgarians, but simply Macedonians. The Macedonian People is existent independent of the Bulgarian or Serb People. We have sympathies with both of them, Bulgarians and Serbs; who will help our freedom fight, to them we will say thank you, but damn Bulgarians and Serbs forget that Macedonia is so precious for the Macedonians.

(Boris Sarafov)

Taken from Makedonski Golos(The Macedonian Voice), St Petersburg, Russia, 1913.
