[quote:Nick the Greek 6488616:MV8xMDI4NTA1XzMzNTU2NzYzXzE5RUFCQTQx] History cannot be altered simply by rewriting it. For as long as the Nation state exists, that particular Nations historic-rights must be respected. Greece has recognized historic-rights over the ancient-region of Macedon, and they must be respected. These rights, Greece is having to excercize in lieu of FYRoM's contestations. FYRoM's ex-Yugoslavs contend that Macedonians were never Greeks but Slavs, who's ancestor Aleksandar Veliki was a great proto-Slavic hero and the first Czar of the Slavs. Greeks get annoyed at South-Slavs when they hear this kind of perverse corruption of a historical narrative that has long been established. From since the 6th Century AD, the Slavs were recorded as having settled the Byzantine empires Imperial territories, and since that time, Macedonian history becomes part of Slavic history. Macedonia gets a permanent settlement of Bulgaro-Slavic peoples who vye and compete with Greek Byzantines for supremacy over the geographic-region. The whole complete history of Macedonia...since the beginning of time, belongs to the Greek speaking Hellenic peoples that have always been there. That the Bulgaro-Slavs live there also entitles them to excercize their historic rights, but those rights have a clearly recorded, clearly defined starting point. They do not traverse further back than the 6th Century AD. So, to say that Macedonian history belong to Macedonians whatever their origin is missing something Greeks respect the history and heritage of the Slavs in the greater-Macedonia geographic region of the Greek [Haemus] peninsula. Contrary to the misconception...Greeks do not deny the Slavs of FYRoM their rightful history in their respective part of greater-Macedonia. From the 6th Century AD, Bulgaro-Slavs share common history with Greeks, the native-originals, the Indigenous and autochthonous peoples of the Greek [Haemus] peninsula. To claim a history further back than the 6th Century AD, flies in the face of what we actually know about the Slavic seetlements of the region through the mainstream historical narrative. History cannot be altered to suit or appease FYRoM. History cannot be altered simply be rewriting it. FYRoM's Slavist orientated Makedonist pseudo-historians scripted FYRoM a history and a heritage, so crude and so crass...the International academic community rejected it out-right as being nothing short of revisionist anti-Hellenic propaganda. They alienated a whole Nation of Hellenes and the global Greek diaspora communties. But worse than this, FYRoM alienated a profession of classicist historian scholars who spent their whole professional careas on the dissemination of classical Graeco-Roman history, speacialists in the field. FYRoM's disrespect of their profession lead International scholars and academic alike to cast FYRoM aside. FYRoM is now shoved-up a siding, going nowhere, kept at arms length, at a distance until the people there learn the truth about Greeks and about themselves, who they are and from whence they really come from.
