[quote:Nick the Greek 18692266:MV8xMDI4NTA1XzMyMDExMDkxX0VCREVENTU5] The question that should be asked is this: Could the Slavic speaking peoples of FYRoM have chosen a proper more suitable name to describe themselves, their country, their nationality, language and ethnicity. The answer ofcourse is YES, they could have! The reason they, FYRoM's South-Slavs, opted to use the Macedonia(n) Greek-Hellenic name to describe themselves ethnically and racially, culturally and linguistically, had more to do with historic rivalries, and here I mean Greco-Bulgarian rivalries, where the Hellenic Interests in the Haemus [Balkan] peninsula were seen to be incompatible with the Slavic Interests, so it began, the great Greco-Slavic schism, competing to win the hearts and minds of the simple-minded and the simple-hearted common peoples of the Balkans in order to keep them in the Patriarchate camp and stop them from converting to the Bulgarian Exarchate camp. Imperial Tzarist Russia was the sole benefactor in the revival of the modern-Bulgarian Nation State. The Russians resurrected Bulgaria in order to legitimize a Slavic presence in the Haemus [Balkan] peninsula. That Slavdom had to resort to a Turkic name, to legitimize a Slavic presence in the Balkans is rather telling in itself. Slavic Interests in the Haemus peninsula were to be channelled through Bulgaria...the oldest-known, legitimate Slavic entity in the region in order to put into check, the Hellenic Interests in the region. Hence, began the great Greco-Slavic schism over Macedonia. Slavdom initiated a campaign to make Macedonians out of South-Slavs and they almost succeeded but for Greek Objections... ...the rest is history! [/quote]
