Answer 1

Jealous greeks... We have our descends that tell about our history and past... they dont have anything that would prove their identity, bcoz they dont have a dynasty that would testify for this.. they allowed Oton who by the way is German to rule with their country... while their dynasty was created after that, on the other hand we have existed since forever.. starting from Perdika,. and they can say all that they want, but they will never prove that Macedonia is theirs and that we are greeks, cause we are not, and no greek is gonna tell me what am i...

Answer 2

I Took  few days off beacuse  of these claims thinking ...it will subside....WRONG... its gets worse...just where are the slavs getting those hillirious claims? omg..... ..and some one said //PERDIKAS..? hmmmm..too bad you wrong again there .. the first MACEDONIAN  KING and he was a greek king KARANUS.. just like all of  them where greek. and there where 6 dynastys..THE 1st being the ARGEADdynasty..this being Karanus SOLE founding and first macedonian dynasty.  KARANUS was a son of TEMENOUS who was  doric and  and had 2 brothers  in 1200bc they invaded the PELEPONESUS region they waged war on those people and where sucessfull and divided most of peloponeus up.. CRESPHONES got messinia/ ARISTODEMUS got sparta/and TEMENUS got argos.... When temenus died his sons KARANUS and PHEDION argued who should be king..the later won the argument..and KARANUS seeked   NEW KING DOM  but before he did he seeked the oracle at delphi or the PYTHIAS.. which told him to follow the track of  GOAT or goats(AIGA=ancient greek for goat).. which he did and ended up in the area what we call VERGINA which he named AIGAE..in HONOUR of those goats,which led him there and helped him win the insuing battles. from him PERDIKAS was the 4th king of the MACEDONS...which herodutus wrote about ..not the FIRST KING ,as most think.. ALEXANDER the GREAT(336 bc. to 323 bc) was  the 4th  Named Alexander..and was. 27 th in line for the THRONE of MACEDON..  thats close to 900 years from KARANUS the first king of macedon....IN contrast to the slavs that arrived in the MACEDON region .from out side modern KIEV.. migrated there and settled in the northern part of  macedon around  (900 .ad.)..SOME 1,100 years after ALEXANDER THE GREAT.. so how the slavs claim to being related to alexander the great is a mystery on to its self when historical facts disprove them...futher more  THE DORIANS where of the HERACLEIDAE..thats is descentands of HERCULES..  And Before the DORIANS and the AEOLIANS and the IONIANS..there where 2 chieft peoples in greece THE  GREKAI and the MYCYNIANS... thats in maind land greece of course in that same period there was KNOSSOS in CRETE and CYPRUS or KIMI or CYMI as it was knowing in ancient greek.  we know most of the greek islands spoke   greek but it still is a debate as to what form of greek?..so from all this information and historical facts..how can the slavs still be adement to claim to own MACEDONIA? i ask fellow slavs to  find some claim some historical fact that claims that macedonia is slavic..... how can you account for 1,100 years?  ohh PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE for the fith time ,can  any slav tell me what  MACEDONIA means?

Answer 3

These people's ancestor's were brainwashed in the early 20th C by the commies but they were not alone...there were commies in Greece who wholeheartedly bathed in the river of propaganda steaming out of the Soviet Republic.  There are accounts from Americans in and around WWII as well as Europeans going back to the 19thC about this issue debunking all this c**p but to no avail.

Let's hope they don't try to pull a Kosovo on us...

Answer 4

The best part of the article is this:

"But Mr Gruevski's critics have dismissed the Hunza visit as shallow populism and after ridicule in local newspapers, the youth and sport agency cancelled the princely couple's planned appearance in Skopje's main square last night.

The visit's main organiser was Marina Dojcinovska, a Skopje-based travel journalist who made a film about the far-flung tribe of "Macedonians" in 2005.

"This is a very special occasion for all Macedonians," Ms Dojcinovska said.

In fact, citizens proved divided about how literally to take their ancient origins. Their Macedonian language is closest to Bulgarian and other South Slavic tongues - pointing to roots in the tribal migrations about a millennium after Alexander.

Ana Petruseva, country director for the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network, said of the Hunza visit: "Everyone who's a bit more educated is laughing at this."

The Hunza of today, who are mostly Muslim, had not heard of modern Macedonia until 12 years ago, when an expatriate Macedonian linguistics professor drew their attention to it.

Ilija Casule, an associate professor at Australia's Macquarie University, said he recognised common grammar and terms for body parts between the Hunza people's Burushaski and Indo-European languages.

But there are plenty who question just how robust the links are. Most linguists classify Burushaski as an "isolate" unrelated to other languages. DNA research has also debunked claims of genetic links between Macedonians and the Hunza.

Bulgaria refuses to recognise a separate Macedonian language. Serbia's church keeps Macedonians out of the worldwide Orthodox communion. And an ethnic Albanian minority of roughly 25 per cent challenges the young state's internal stability."

As I said many times before aside stealing identities and history from Greece, the FYROMians are also in a habit of stealing their identity and history from Bulgaria, Serbia and Albania as the last paragraph proves.  ;-)

Answer 5

This prince is related to Kalas. Some years ago he was proud to be related to the Greeks. The fyromids gave him a free vacation and he said to them what they want to hear. For a free trip to Greece and a couple of free meals he can say whatever we like, but who cares? It's like a joke watching a dark guy claim to be related to these people who think that they are related to the Macedonians because they are blonde. What a bunch of monkeydonkeys.

edit: shaka shaka, laoplane malaka.

Answer 6

Hilarious!!!

Those people are hilarious!!They are trying everything but still they dont achieve anything

Answer 7

Don't be so jealous.

Hunza people declared themselves as Macedonians, far from Greeks.

Their language is close to ours, as descending from Brigs too.

They say "shaka" for the "wrist" (same as we do), they say "grmi" (thundering, same as we do), they say "olomlani" (two years ago, same we do).

And many many other words, you can seek for Mr. Ilija Chasule, PhD.

ΑDDED: Of course, Perdika was a Slav and he spoke a bulgarian dialect. One of your countrymen wrote in another question that "Alexander" is an... Old English name. LOL!

You're trying to create a history with Perdika, Alexander, the Tsar Samuel and Goce Delchev combined...

Answer 9

Me, as well known Greek singer, am ashamed of Greek politics towards Macedonian minority.

We are neighbors and should live like brothers in Christ.

Answer 10

There a U.S. saying that "Misery loves company" and since both of this people are miserable due to no proof of their identity then what is left for them to do,  is to keep company.

Perhaps this a publicity stunt to attract tourism in FYROM by claimming false Macedonian haritage since identity and relation to Alexander is vital for them.

This also interfires with Greeces tourist industry since it was sponcerd by a tourist office. That leaves me to believe their real goals and dreams of Mesogiaki Macendonia do to their touristic industry expansion rather than the reality of true Macedonia.
