Läs vad Kiro Gligorov skrev bla,

we are slavs
Thursday, December 11, 2008
We are not related to the northern Greeks who produced leaders like Philip and Alexander the Great. We are Slavs and our language is closely related to Bulgarian. There is some confusion about our identity.

*Gyordan Veselinov, Macedonia’s Ambassador to Canada

We are Slavs who came to this area in the sixth century (AD)… we are not descendants of the ancient Macedonians.

*Kiro Gligorov, Former President of FYR Macedonia

Moreover, the Foreign Minister of the FYROM, Slobodan Casule, in an interview to Utrinski Vesnik of Skopje on December 29, 2001, said that he mentioned to the Foreign Minister of Bulgaria, Solomon Pasi, that they “belong to the same Slav people.”

call these songs Bulgarian and not Slavic, because if someone today should ask the Macedonian Slav ”what are you?” he would be immediately be told: ”I am Bulgarian” and would call his language ”Bulgarian”.

*Stefan Verkovich, Bosnian folklorist, ”Folk Songs of the Macedonian Bulgarian”, Vol. 1

Journalist: What is your opinion for the problem which Greece has to accept the name Macedonia which the Scopje Government (FYROM) is trying to implement?

Henry Kissinger: Look, I believe that Greece is right to object and I agree with Athens. The reason is that I know history which is not the case with most of the others including most of the Government and Administration in Washington. The strength of the Greek case is that of the history which I must say that Athens have not used so far with success.

Henry Kissinger, Management Centre Europe, Paris, 19 June 1992

Can’t explain how a part of slav nation denied their ancestors (all beein Bulgarians) and try to invent a new history, as they have admit…

”The idea that Alexander the Great was something that belonged to our history was in the minds of some extremist political groups only! These groups were insignificant the first years of our independence, but the big problem is that the old Balkan Nations have been used to be legitimized through their history. In the Balkans, if you want to be recognized as a Nation, you need to have history 3000 years old. So since you made us invent a history, we invented it!(…) You forced us to the arms of the extreme nationalists who today claim that we are direct descendants of Alexander the Great!

Denko Maleski, first Minister of foreign affairs of FYROM (1991 to 1993) and ambassador to the United Nations from 1993 to 1997, in an interview to Greek TV channel Mega, November 2006

invent a new history?????

22. Lord Salisbury, head of the English delegation of the Treaty of Berlin in 1878: ‘Macedonia and Thrace are as Greek as Crete is.’

23. In the Turk Hilmi Pasha’s population census of 1905, Macedonian region, only Albanians, Turks, Serbs, Bulgarians, Greeks, and Jews were recorded. No Macedonians, not even one.

24. In the 1912 Ottoman parliamentary elections, which allowed for minorities representation, there were Arab, Albanian, Greek, Armenian, Jewish and Bulgarian elects. No Macedonian! No such a minority existed.

25. During the first Balkan War of 1912, after Greece liberated Thessaloniki, it established a ‘Governorate General of Macedonia.’ No one reacted against it.

26. No known historic record refers to any total extinction or genocide perpetrated upon the ancient Macedonian people. What of their descendants? Surely they are not Slavs. What of their rights to their identity and heritage? Are they no longer ‘Macedonian?’

27. In Tito’s communist Yugoslavia, its Communist Party — atheists to the core — established the ‘Macedonian Orthodox Church’ in 1968. HUH?

28. Prior to being baptized ‘Macedonia’ by the communists Tito and Stalin, the southern Yugoslav region was named and known as ‘Vardarska Banovinja.’ No matter what the name of northern Greece, that’s exactly what the new name for ‘Vardarska Banovinja’ would have been (Macedonia). After all, the goal was to annex northern Greece and gain access to the Aegean Sea.

29. Finally, I place the following challenge to one and all of the concocted ‘Macedonian’ ethnicity: If you ever come across an authentic, legitimate relic or find of the ancient Macedonian kingdom with an inscription other than in the Greek language, you shall have achieved the discovery of all times. You need not despair, however. There is no time limit!
