Macedonians are the Greeks that stayed loyal to Hellenism, proud to have retained that Greek-language and that Hellenic-culture which binds them, in backwards-compatible fashion to the Macedonians of lore! Macedonians are the Greeks that still live in that historic-region of ancient-Macedon in Northern-Greece...nobody has the right to Rubbish This! The blood and the Dna signature one carries today may not reflect faithfully ones current-Identity ethnic-pride or National feelings, cross-fertilization between the races spanning millennia has seen that. So this statement must be True:

The Macedonian-Name belongs in the Greek domain whilst Macedonian-Identity belongs to Greek-heritage, even in the absence of Greeks from the modern-human population pool!

The peoples of the Haemus [Balkan] peninsula share much, we are all Byzantiums Children...Greeks - Slavs - Georgians - Rumanians - Armenians - Turks* and many others. Peace in the lands of Orthodox-Christendom! Learning about Greek-Orthodox Christendom, one automatically learns the history of Byzantium, Christendom in the Eastern-Roman Empire.

Greeks trace their heritage back to Byzantium along with a multitude of others. Through them...the Eastern-Romans, the Greeks connect to an older-heritage, the Hellenic one. From those children of Byzantium, only the Greeks can produce legitimate connections to the ancient-Hellenic legacy.

Blood and Dna No make Identity...education does that!
