For those who still don't know...FYRoM was never part of Alexander the Greats Kingdom. The Macedonian name they covet so much was extended outwards by the latin-Romans to cover over Paeonian and Dardanian lands Centuries after Alexanders death. FYRoM sits on those lands. There is Nothing of real Macedonia there.
There are no moral-reasons or ethical-justifications for FYRoM's ex-Yugoslavs to be wanting to stake a claim on a Greek-Hellenic name when Paeonia suits them better. And if they No like the Paeonian name, they could always opt for the Dardanian one...for these names are available for immediate use, on the basis, no modern peoples use them for Identity purposes.
The Macedonian-name belongs in the Greek domain...ask any accredited Philologist - Linguist.
The Macedonian-Identity belongs to Greek heritage...ask any accredited classicist-historian - archaelogists.
Macedonia(n)...when this term is used correctly, it is used to describe Greeks - Northern-Greeks that still live in the ancient-Kingdom of Macedon.
For FYRoM's ex-Yugoslavs to be wanting to describe themselves Macedonians in the ethnic and racial sense, and in the cultural-linguistic sense comes across as wanting to exercise an indulgence, solely for the provocation factor and the aggravation factor, just to rile the Greeks for the entertainment value. Those who do it, do it to attract attention...attention-seekers with some theatrical skills to back-up their claims.
All of those theatrical stunts that FYRoM ever pulled to prove themselves Macedonians just backfired badly...Nobody sees them as Macedonian. Everybody sees them as South-Slavs from Serbian and Bulgarian stock.
Macedonians have always been Greeks...It's time for FYRoM's ex-Yugoslavs to learn this basic and simple truth!
