Please tell me, but truthfully, does anyone know were Macedonia is?

Answer 1

This is a direct answer to the ***** ragzeus. Macedonia and everybody knows is todays Republic of Macedonia. The northern greeks are stubborn and dont admit it, if you ask anyone from southern greece they would say they dont care because the histoty of athens is more important to them, but the northern ones try to steal our history by stateing stupid facts that prove nothing, maybe they should read something written by someone other than a gtreek scholar that was taught the same!!!!! Listen, this goes to every greek that thinks he knows about Macedonia. Macedonia in ancient times was a region in the south of the balkans. The people were barbarians according to the greeks because they werent as refined and as advanced as they were. At those times the greeks hated the macedonians and the other way around. But then Philip II conquered the greek city states and made them obide his rule. Now, there is a dillema about what language the ancient macedonians spoke and etc. Explanations: The ancien t Macedonians had their own barbaric language but at that time the greek culture and language was very aristocratic and higly thought of, thats why Alexander the great accepted the greek language as the official one, but there are many proofs of this, such as: Today in afganistan, iran and other countries in the middle east, there are people that live in the mountains and are separated from other people and very different cultures than them. These people have blue eyes and do not look middle estern. These people speak are direct decendants of the ancient macedonians and have a languge that noone knows, but a study showed that their language has similar word and ghramatical similarities as the today macedonian one or the slavic, so thats a proof that the slavs didnt bring the language to the balkans but they accepted the one that was already here and that language was spoken by alexander the great when he adressed his army, as aristotel wrote. The greeks are now taught a hate history of macedonia and think that macedonia is greece becaude its in their todays country. Northern greece has taken by the greeks from macedonians during the balkan wars after ww1 and they made ethnical cleansing of the reagion and banished all proclaimed macedonians. (est. 200 000). TToday they dont aknowledge the presence of macedonians in northern greece because they are Faschists!!! Still the fight goes on and the subbornnes of greeksa goes on because the bigger countries in thge world dont get involved. They stole our country and say its their history........ when will this end, i know when the admit that macedonian and greek hisatory have nothing in common except geographical similarities. Long live the Republic of Macedonia, and i want the greeks to make arguments about the hiastory not just ( ohhh, macedonia is in greece today... bla bla bla). bye

As I can see you really want to know!
Well here is the truth as a lot of people don’t know exactly what is going on! Macedonia or Macedon (from Greek Μακεδονία; ) was the name of an ancient Greek kingdom in the northern-most part of ancient Greece, bordering the kingdom of Epirus on the west and the region of Thrace to the east. Today it is entirely in Greece. {Entire north Greece is the province of Macedonia (in proper Greek “Mακεδονία”).
Macedonia was responsible for the building of the gigantic Greek empire of Alexander the Great and it spread the Greek culture and language!
Do not confuse real Macedonia in Greece with a small state that emerged from Yugoslavia. That small state is called Republic of Makedonija and it is internationally recognized as FYROM {Republika Makedonja is officialy traanslated by UN (and oficially recognized by UN and Eropean Union) as Former Ygoslavic Republick of Macedonia (FYROM). That small state instead of using its name its using the Greek name Macedonia or Makedonia and it was forced by the United Nations to negotiate with Greece for an international name that is not violating the use of the Greek name Macedonia.
Officially the state claims that they are not related to real Macedonia in Greece and that they are a Slavic state!
Here are some official statements:
The first President of FYROM (Slav Macedonia), Kiro Gligorov said: “We are Slavs who came to this area in the sixth century ... we are not descendants of the ancient Macedonians" (Foreign Information Service Daily Report, Eastern Europe, February 26, 1992, p. 35). Also, Mr Gligorov declared: "We are Macedonians but we are Slav Macedonians. That's who we are! We have no connection to Alexander the Greek and his Macedonia… Our ancestors came here in the 5th and 6th century" (Toronto Star, March 15, 1992).
On 22 January 1999, Ambassador of the FYROM to USA, Ljubica Achevska gave a speech on the present situation in the Balkans. In answering questions at the end of her speech Mrs. Acevshka said: "We do not claim to be descendants of Alexander the Great … Greece is Macedonia’s second largest trading partner, and its number one investor. Instead of opting for war, we have chosen the mediation of the United Nations, with talks on the ambassadorial level under Mr. Vance and Mr. Nemitz." In reply to another question about the ethnic origin of the people of FYROM, Ambassador Achevska stated that "we are Slavs and we speak a Slav language”.
On 24 February 1999, in an interview with the Ottawa Citizen, Gyordan Veselinov, FYROM'S Ambassador to Canada, admitted, "We are not related to the northern Greeks who produced leaders like Philip and Alexander the Great. We are a Slav people and our language is closely related to Bulgarian." He also commented, “There is some confusion about the identity of the people of my country".
Moreover, the Foreign Minister of the FYROM, Slobodan Casule, in an interview to Utrinski Vesnik of Skopje on December 29, 2001, said that he mentioned to the Foreign Minister of Bulgaria, Solomon Pasi, that they "belong to the same Slav people.”
I hope that was helpful!!
