| WAS STRABO ALSO A LIAR ????????? SO I GUESS EVERYONE IS A LIAR EXCEPT SCOPIANS !! ehheheeh -"And Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece." (Strabo. VII, Frg. 9 [Loeb, H.L. Jones]) So what do TURCOFYROMIANS & albogypsies suggest? THAT ALEXANDROS IS A LIAR WHEN HE SAYS HE'S A GREEK? "For I Alexander myself am by ancient descent a Greek, and I would not willingly see Hellas change her freedom for slavery." (Herodotus. IX, 45, 2 [Loeb]) |

| The people of Skopje are victims of a propaganda.Hope when watch this film and read mainly history , will understand that they have no connection with Macedonia. Alexander the Great was in 4th b.C. and they (Slavs)appear in 6th century. READ the history. We must be friends. You are neighbours.But forst of all READ history. |

| Any nation in the world has the right to call itself the way it wants to. But what is happening with the Macedonians in the FYR is really strange. They accuse any neighbor on anything. They accuse serbia for not allowing to them the use of the name macedonia and the macedonian language from 1913 since 1945 (year of the birth of Yugoslavia),they accuse bulgarians just because they claim that Macedonian language is nothing but a bulgarian dialect very well understood in Bulgaria. |
| and of course they ... ( 7 months ago by queenmusicfreak86) |
| and of course they accuse the Greeks because they claim that history of ancient Macedonia is Greek history, they even accuse them for genocide and occupying their land. It is very strange how propaganda works in this small post-balkan country. FYR Macedonians trully can't see anything but their own reality - or the reality USA want to build in the Balkans. It's a pitty, blaming everyone on everything and it's a real shame how some governments want to build a national identity on nothing |

| The early 17th - early 20th century United States was Hellenic or Greco-Roman in many ways and design of its concept. An educated American man would have learned both Greek and Latin in school and college. What a contrast to the ignorance that dictates US culture and policies today. |

The right coming from our common Hellenic...land-heritage-language-history-culture-ways-traditions-etc-etc-etc. all the Greeks calling themselves HELLENES, some foreigners call us Greece-Grecia-Gretsia (from the ancient Greek tribe of Graikoi) other call us Yunan-Yawon-Yavan(from the ancient Greek tribe of Ionians) other call us something else, what name you propose?

| Ancient Macedonia ... ( 5 months ago by MakedonianWarrior) |
| Ancient Macedonia was, is and will be Greek! I inform you that even and nowadays the peoples like me that live in Real-Macedonia(the Greek) self declared Hellenes Macedonians(like Alexander the Great) and of course we are proud Greeks like the other Greeks that self declared Hellenes and (Peloponnesians or Cretans or Athenians or etc.) Almost all the ancient Macedonian land is in our territories (Greece)! FYROM's land at ancient years called Paionia and not Macedonia! |
| The peoples of ... ( 5 months ago by MakedonianWarrior) |
| The peoples of FYROM aren't Macedonians neither their land language tribe ethnology or etc... are Macedonian. Macedonians from the ancient years until now are GREEKS like me and their land is in GREECE. Who's said you that according us (that you call unjustly fascists!) those Slavs of FYROM haven't the right to exist in their current territories? |

| We haven't any big problem with them...contrary we are friends with all the Slavic peoples from the north till the south...the problem with the Slavs of FYROM is that they pick the ancient Greek name Macedonia attempting to usurper the Greek history and heritage as a way of existence...sequence they raised hate against us with distortion of history and propagandas...they claim our lands(THE REAL ANCIENT MACEDONIA) our history our heritage, when we want to accept them as good neighborhoods!!! |

MACEDONIA WAS A STATE OF GREECE ACCORDING TO PLUTARCHOS & NOT ONLY & MANY OTHER ANCIENT SOURCES NEVER B4 THIS WAS EVER DOUBTED till today when sick SCOPIESKIS try to deny REAL FACTS "Alexander was king of Macedon, one of the states of Greece.He first conquered the other Grecian states, & then Persia, & India, & other countries one by one till the whole known world was conquered by him" Plutarchos [Loeb FC Babbitt] |
