This is the objective truth Bojris. Whether you and me like it or not. RIGHT NOW your goverment has IMPERIALISTIC intensions. THERE ARE MAPS printed by your countrymen that show the whole Macedonian part of Greece INCLUDED in your country, as a different nation. What DO YOU say about that?

...just because they have Bulgarian, Turkish, Greek, Slavic (or whatever) ethnic consiousness. They don't need "technical history", "puzzled history". The region you live, should not be embedded by Bulgarians, or Serbs, or Albanians. Communists (Tito-Stalin and Greek communists) wanted seperate nation so as to control THE SEA IN AEGIAN PELAGOS. But Tito and his communist friends failed in '40s. Now your president seems that he "honors" Tito's work and wants to finish it.

You and the people of your country (as YOU say), want to believe that because of a mixture during the 6th and 7th century AFTER CHRIST anomg Slavs and Macedonians, makes YOU descendants of Macedonians. So, according to YOU: (400 hundred years of Ottoman Empire- Turks) Turks are not TURKS, but are Greeks Or Greeks are not Greeks, but Turks. Or Slavs not Slavs, but Turks. Or Bulgarians, not Bulgarians but Turks. These Nations don't have the NEED to "adopt" the nationality of another nation.......

Bojris, noone cares, not even me, if the history of Slavic tribes is short, or long. 14 centuries of Slavic language (formed by greek monks Κυριλλος and Μεθοδιος) is quite a long time. MACEDONIAN history emerged in the 8th or early 7th century BEFORE CHRIST.

And if not ("nothing great about Greece" as you said), what's that has to do with the matter we are speaking?

dhbugias (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Bojris, the truth is in front of you. Don't turn blind eyes. Romans spoke Greek when they wanted to speak about philosophy. They thought that they ought to speak Greek. BUT they had their own language (Latin). Macedonians (Alexander) were speaking only Greek (as a matter of fact a Greek dialect, as I wrote before). Everything that is found in archeological remnants in Macedonia (Pella, Aiges, vergina, Chalkidiki etc) is written in GREEK and only. This are proofes. Not words..

BOJRIS NOONE CLAIMED THAT ALL GREEKS ARE MACEDONIANS. BUT MACEDONIANS WERE GREEK, AS ATHENIANS, AS SPARTANS etc. NOT "something else". ARISTOTELES, the great philosopher, was born in STAGIRA, in Chalkidiki. DID YOU KNOW THAT? Just tell me that Aristoteles was not Greek and I will stop this dialog...

Bojris, all history of the world is characterized by mixture of people. This is ineviatable. Slavs mixing with Macedonians don't become Macedonians, neither Macedonians become Slavs. And IF SLavs want to be named "MAcedonians", does it make them desnedants of Alexander, just because in 700 AD some slavs were mixed with the Macedonian people (living already with Romans as a Roman province). Why not Italians claim "Macedonian" roots? I'll tell you! Because they don't need "technical identity"

HOW CAN OUR HISTORY BE SHORT ?!?! The language is only 14 centuries old, we also have songs and dances centuries old, how can that be short time ?

bojris (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Yes they are Christian names then you agree on that, ancient Greece evolved in to a great civilization but later then the ancient years THERE IS NOTHING GREAT ABOUT GREECE, corect me if I'm wrong.
