Why does the Slavic country of FYROM try to steal Greek identity?

Question

Their use of Macedonia constitutes nothing shot of theft on a national scale. How come they can't collectivly overcome the years of brainwashing that communism has done to them? I think if other countries invested in their country and they were able to build some schools,no educated person in that country would claim that the Slavic nation of Skopje-FYROM is Macedonia.

For your trolls out there... for your information, I am German not Greek. so dont even try to brush this off, that easy.

Answer 1

I don't know why.

Is pretty amazing that they deny their Slavic Origin!!!

We all know that ancient makedonians weren't Slavs and we all know that these people are Slavs.So is impossible to be both at the same time.

Saying that they are Macedonians they deny their Slavic origin,and i find it really sad

I think though that Denko Maleski have said it better than me

If they just wanted to be called Macedonians because of the region,would be acceptable,but claiming that they are their descendants,their language is Macedonian (which has NOTHING in common with the ancient Macedonian language),claiming that we (wow,how bad the Greeks are!!!)  took.....their (haha) land is hilarious.

The bucharest treaty was a treaty between serbia,greece,and bulgaria.

so if we "took" a land from someone would be Bulgaria....

but then again,they are saying are not Bulgarian,funny,huh????

Honestly,if some of their arguments had a basis,historicall or logically i would reconsider what they say,but they are  really nosense!!!!!Lol!

Dont even mention that they used a Greek symbol in their flag...

the next link i provide,consist no bla-bla or whatever but photos of ancient findings (if someone can call ancient findings propaganda,when he sure needs to see a doctor)

Answer 2

Macedonians are not stealing the Greek history or identity!

We have our identity and we are prould of that!

We/I respect greek history, culture, language but there the story ends..

Thanks to the propaganda your life is based on lies...

And about that not beening greek, please spare me the details:)

You are level 1 with 94 points and your previos questions were:

1. Did Slavic Macedonia finally have a peaceful election recount?

2. Why did the EU countries block the Former yugo. slavic macedonia from joining?

Soo my dear greek friend stop posting question with hate !!!

Answer 3

Can you tell me why?

I have been wondering that for years!

I'm GREEK and of course there are numerous proofs that claim the GREEK identity of Macedonia AND ALEXANDER THE GREAT! For God's sake! People of the Skopje are the ones who are brainwashed and not us, Greeks! Can't they understand this on their own? What if i tell right now that Germany is Greek? Haha! It sounds funny!

However, i don't blame them. That's what they are taught in school... Therefore, it's someone more powerful that supports them... Have you heard that George Bush was really disappointed when the greek president regected the integration of Skopje in the NATO???...

Finally, I AM REALLY PROUD OF YOU! I had started to think that only Greeks think that Macedonia is Greek! Thank you so much!!!

Answer 4

Take a chill pill.

Answer 5

The country's name has been Macedonia for a long time, including the time when it was a part of ex-Yugoslavia. It was called Macedonia because of the geographic region where it is situated. I don't know if it was a mistake to call it that way and if it was unfair to Greece. Maybe so. However, I understand that now they have a hard time changing that name after so many years. But I don't think they are trying to steal the Greek identity, if you ask any Macedonian they will say they are Slavic, not Greek. At least they should. They should be proud of their Slavic origins. They have to face the fact that Alexander the Great was Greek and it happened a long before Slavic Macedonians came to the Balkans. No need to steal anyone's identity, because they have their own. At least that's what I think. It is a nice country with a lot of things to be proud of.

To all Macedonians: Being from ex-Yugoslavia, I feel much closer to you than to Greeks, but you can't honestly believe that your culture is as old as Greek. We all know when you came to the Balkans and where you came from. Same as we did, and all the other Slavs. Let's be proud of our origins, they are not any less worth than Greek or any other.

Answer 6

Every country that borders with the slavs, or is in close distance to them, in Europe has problems with them, namely Greece, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Germany, Finland, Sweden, and Hungary. Wars have been fought because of them, and Greeks aren't too happy with them either. They should just name their country Slavia or something like that

Answer 7

Macedonians are not always Slavic the ones in the three provinces in Greece called Macedonia are Hellenic

Answer 8

Greek troll get rest!

Macedonia has own history and identity, we don't need yours!

And if someone is brainwashed that's you and your nation!
