    There is only one Macedonia and that is in Northern Greece.The other Macedonia needs to be differenciated by maybe New Macedonia or North Macedonia

    It is FYROM and not Macedonia. It should have been TYROM instead. TYRI is Greek for cheese. I think it suits those little dillusional nobodies the best as farming is the best they do.

    Well first check your law’s so called Greeks. The name Macedonia was forbiden to be sayed until 1980. So from northern Greece suddenly everything becomes Macocedonia.

    I am a Macedonian, living in the Republic of Macedonia. So is my father, and so is my grand father – born in 1905. Enough said!

    Macedonia belongs to the macedonians. It should be recognised under this name. The greeks shouldn’t make a problem out of things which have happened before over 2000 years.

    For example, the name “Kosovo” is bulgarian. Anyway, no single person nowaday insists, that this land is bulgarian. And something more – nobody insists, that there is a different “Kosovo” nation (unlike the case Macedonia, which has always been just a geographical term before the second world war.)

    All that the macedonians have to do is to recognize officially, that their nation exists since the end of the second world war. There is no need for them to feel ashamed of that fact. There are many young nations with a great potential. Much more shameful is to falscificate the history.
