For the last 3-4 Millenniums, the place where modern Hellas is situated displays a continuous presence of peoples that have always shared a common Hellenic collective-consciousness, with common collective-memories, common-traditions, common-language and common-religion...traites and attributes which ultimately connect them back, in backwards-compatible fashion to previous generations of Greeks stretching all the way back to the Mycaenean proto-Greeks. Macedonians were integral to this, important part of this, they Identified with this collective - Greeks to the core. FYRoM has No right to rubbish this! Under what rights, conventions, protocols do the [ex-Yugo] Slavs from FYRoM have, to cast them differently. Macedonia has always been a Greek inhabited region...I mean ofcourse, the ancient-Kingdom of Macedon - not the Roman administered region where FYRoM is right now.

By virtue of the fact, FYRoM sits on Roman administered lands called Macedonia II Salutaris during their rule, only entitles them to Identify themselves regionally by that name. It must be stressed though...the region called Macedonia today is not what Macedonia was in ancient-times, the area was extended and enlarged to incorporate Paeonia and Dardania, this is where FYRoM is situated right now.

It is true, the peoples living in FYRoM today are Macedonians in the regional sense because they live in geographic-Macedonia, they are not alone though, Greeks Bulgars and Albanians live there too - much like Germans, French and Spanish live in Europe and call themselves by that name. Nobody can seriously object to them calling themselves Macedonians, like nobody can object to Germans French and Spanish calling themselves Europeans...the Identity is geographic, and the term is used by more than one country.

Macedonians have always been Greek and they have always live there...in the ancient-Kingdom of Macedon - Nobody has the right to underestimate the worlds collective intelligence on matters Macedonian. FYRoM must stop the Silliness and return the Macedonian back in the Greek domain where it belongs. Ancient-Macedonian Identity belongs to Greek heritage whilst the modern version can be used in it's regional connotation today to describe Greeks, Slavs and to a lesser degree, Albanians.
