[quote:Nick the Greek 7595965:MV8xMDI4NTA1XzI4OTYyNTExX0NBOENFMDVD] When the festivities are over, the serious business of resolving the name dispute shall begin. Macedonians have always been Greek speakers and Hellenic people...this is what is known about them, this information is known at the highest echelons of diplomatic office. Global diplomats if uncertain on a particular subject or a particular matter, seek advice...in the case of the long running name dispute between FYRoM and Greece, that advice has already been dispursed. Historian classicist scholars and academics alike place the Macedonian name in the Greek domain...need I say more! Greece has historical rights over the original ancient Macedonian region and over the Macedonian name...need I say more! That FYRoM's ex-Yugoslavs are Macedonians in the regional geographic sense can be accomodated in an agreement and within the context of a shared history with Greeks in a region where a common Greco-Slavic culture developed. From the 6th Century A.D. Greeks share a common history with the Slavonic peoples [SouthSlavs] who's ancetral forebears decided to settle the GrecoRoman world in order to lay down their roots. Before the 6th Century A.D. it would be difficult to prove or accomodate the Idea of a Slavic presence in the Haemus peninsula. The Slavic tribes at this time, did not arrive in this part of the world. Shared history from the 6th Century A.D. the good parts and the bad parts but FYRoM's ex-Yugoslavs can not claim the name of a peoples or the name of lands their ancestral forebears had no earthly connection to or natural relationship with. I say again...Macedonians have always been Greek speakers and Hellenic people, from since they first entered our common European history books they have been recorded as a Greek-Hellenic peoples.
