Thank you for the good wishes about my country - Macedonia my dear Greek neighbour. It would be better for you and for all of us if you leave your nationalistic rhetoric and if you try to live in the 21_st century, not in the history...

Regards; a moderate Macedonian...

just a question! do the fyrom speak the language that spoke Alexander the Great? no they dont! why? cause at the time of alexander these slaws didnt exist at this area. fyrom was and is a fake-coubtry built by tito. at the time of alexander there were city states but all were greeks similar situation as in germany few centuries ago. i wish fyrom a long life but please without these lies. just learn greek, may be then u get a chance, to think you are greek!

written from a moderate greek, who is getting upset(and unfortunately more nationalist)reading such a bull-s....

The most important thing to remember about the "Macedonian conflict" is that the Greek position has changed dramatically over the past decade. Official Greek government policy was that Macedonia did not exist. When Greece took over Aegean Macedonia in 1913, they killed, tortured and ethnically cleansed hundreds of thousands of Macedonians. They changed the names of people, villages, and landmarks from Macedonian to Greek in their attempts to eradicate the Macedonian name. Two things to remember:

1. It is ironic that Greeks now "love Macedonia" when they tried to eradicate its very existence.

2. If Macedonia has always been Greek, why did the Greek government deny its existence until the 1980's?
