    Hey guys so UPDATE! As of Jan 25 2019 the Greek Parliament voted 153-146 (1 abstained) in favor of accepting the new name of "North Macedonia" for this country. Many Greek citizens are opposed to this move but for what's it's worth this means diplomatic actions can move forward after nearly 3 decades of dispute. Let's see what happens.

      @@NikolaBent976 Perhaps you don't know the basic stuff. First of all your nickname is an oxymoron. Mainstream historiography says that the Slavs migrated to the Balkans in the 6th c AD.
      SR Macedonia in 1944 was not an independent country. We are talking about countries, otherwise we can consider the Roman state of Achaea as 'Greece'... although there are many inscriptions eons before that with the word 'Hellas' and 'Hellenes' but the modern concept of a country didn't exist then.
      There were no Macedonians before the end of the 19th century. They identified as Bulgarians. Slowly since the end of the 19th c they started to emerge due to political manipulation.
      Macedonia was liberated from the Ottomans and Greeks took the part of proper Macedonia (i.e. ancient Macedonia before the conquests which was a Greek doric kingdom), except for some small parts in the south of North Macedonia. NM''s mostly occupies the region of ancient Paeonia and Dardania.

      Aart Bruneel Yeah, but everybody just calls it "Luxembourg", just like everybody says "Russia" instead of "Russian Federation" or "South Korea" instead of "Republic of Korea" or "Afghanistan" instead of "Islamic Republic of Afghanistan", and so on. So "Republic of Macedonia" is just as good as "Former Yugoslav Republic". It is in rare cases that a country goes by their full official name, like "Dominican Republic" or "United Arab Emirates" or "Central African Republic" "Czech Republic" (which has recently installed a shortened version "Czechia") or both of the Congos, and so on. They should really get around to being "West Congo" and "East Congo", or something like that, by the way. Anyway, my point is that "Former Yugoslav" has no purpose in its name.

      Are you kidding? What exactly does this video prove? The DNA was named "macedonian" because it applies to today's "Macedonians", as you insist on calling yourselves. "The" Science has confirmed that they haven't discovered any DNA from the ancient Macedonians, so they cannot compare your present DNA with the ancient one to find out if they are your ancestors.
      I don't think you understand how DNA matching works. And please, do you think that posting videos from youtube will strengthen your arguments? Really..?

      no it doesn't !!!
      and your "barbarian" argument has no actual value...
      it is a fact that our ancestors called certain tribes barbaric at certain time-frames like the Pelasgians and others BUT YOU ARE IN NO POSITION to comprehend what our ancestors really meant by "barbarian" and the REASON why they described people with this word !!!!!
      an ancient Greek calling some group of people "barbarians" DOES NOT automatically mean that they did not share the same blood relatives and ancestors !!! ...in most of the cases it did BUT in the cases of the Pelasgians, the Macedonians and others it did NOT...
      furthermore the youtube video that you link to, is filled with MANIPULATIONS and MISTRANSLATIONS of words that FAIL TO MEET THE STANDARDS OF THE SCIENCE OF HISTORY (and that's why all the comments are disabled...because no one wants to answer for all the lies the video is spreading) so here is just a glimpse of just ONE of the video's fallacies that have been answered...

      Although you have a point in your statement, there are more things in this dispute and not only the name. If they prefered the name Republic of Northern Macedonia or Republic of Slavic Macedonia, we the Greeks would not have that much of a problem. The problem is that the FYROM lays official claim on a very large piece of land in Greece (or at least they did back in the 90s). If you ask me personally I believe there is no problem for me with them thinking they are Macedonians. In Geographical/Regional terms they are not wrong. But there is no seperate nation of Macedonians. There are Slavic, Greek and Bulgarian Macedonians but only in the Regional sense of the word.

There was NO greek majority in Macedonia. So we made it “greek” with a population exchange, through difficult events, that survived as a people, but not just us, but other people in this region.

      los combos true, like i said, my grandpa was a macedonian greek. Back then the greeks were not unified. They fought one against the other. Like the thracians, like the tribes of israel. But like u said, the spartans (or lakonians), the cretans, the athenians, the makidons etc were the same. Same cannot be said about the current state of Macedonia. It is an abomination.

    What was the Greeks case? Simply, it was that the former Yugoslav republic of Makedonija was nothing but an invention of Tito's as a bridgehead for the penetration and annexation of Greece's northern province, which is the real Macedonia with its capital at Salonika. Tito's Makedonija did not ever exist as a name on any map 50 years ago. But after 1945 Tito began openly talking of a Greater Macedonia that would include not only his small, artificial province but also the major Greek province that he called Aegean Macedonia. He pursued this policy not only by state-controlled propaganda but also by semi-clandestine warfare.
    The optimists should not forget that both Serbia and Bulgaria have had historic claims on Greek Macedonia, however ill-based. It was from Belgrade and Sofia that the last assault on Greek sovereignty was launched. Are the present incumbents of power in Belgrade and Sofia today more trustworthy? They too have potential claims against the ex-Yugoslav republic, whereas the Greeks have none apart from the usurpation of the name ..What reamins today is North Macedonia who are a slavic people who are very closely related to the Bulgarians and to some what standards to the Serbs and the Albanians and we also have have Greek Macedonia which is historically connected to the Ancient Greek Macedonia who were realted by language customs and beliving in the ancient Greek Gods from Antiquity...

      The Greek's case was a facade to cover up the fact that they are afraid of the world looking closely into events of 1913 and afterwards. Especially, the Metaxas' regime which oppressed Macedonians and even forbade the use of their language at home or at funerals.
