Skopje Makedonia

Nicely!! Seems Alparslan if the kurds also of Iraq form an independent country and call it Turkey will be the first one to applause. After all according to his logic and as he stated, it would be a name that they wanted to call for their own country.

I see, that the name on our west province really irritate you.   But the name "Vardarska" also isn't suitable. After all Vardar also flows via Greece. I think that most suitable is Western Bulgaria.

Why would they call themselves so? They wouldnt call themselves Turks like Greeks dont call themselves Macedonians. Kurds are Kurds, and Macedonians are Macedonians. That is a redicilous mentality...

And by the way, I dont think a bunch of Greek forumers or any of us has the responsibility to decide what the Macedonians will call themselves. This is their nationality and their country. I have never seen a Macedonian trying to adopt new names to Greece, but i see some of us arent happy with the name "Macedonia". I think a better name for Macedonia would be "the Sancak of Macedonia"...

It seems that certain people like to use a specific way of twisted logic , when they talk about other nations.....But when somebody uses the same twisted logic to them , then it becomes a "ridiculous mentality"...

The people of Greece , still hold their ancient names....They are Epirotes , Macedonians , Thracians , Athenians , Peloponneseans etc...But ALL of them are Greeks .

Maybe the Kurds will not name it Turkey .... but they very well can name it Anatolia ....That would be i nice touch from their part and all fellow forumers who applause Skopians , they will definitely suport Kurds too...

Isk.

Why? But if they really want to do it they may do it and claim themselves as Ottoman.

But in fact the people of Greece who live in Greece now have stolen the heritage of people who lived there thousands years ego, ancient Greeks. That is why you have generated a new language to claim yourself as Greek and assimilated millions of people. That is why the term  ancient is used before Greek in serious historical, anthropological and artistic academical issues.

Alexander the Great was not accepted as Greek by Greeks. Just read the life of Alexander the Great. That's why he fought with Greeks and crashed them. He was an opportunist person who were trying to adress to the minds of people to control and conquest them. But Greeks were quit aware that he was not a Greek. He was Macedonian nothing more.

You should accept it even if you like it or not. 

Well Alpaslan, it's becaming boring to call you (and prove you) a mindless Greek-hater everytime you post something (because 90% of your posts are just to flame against Greece-no matter if the discussion is on philosophy or gardening) but I'll do it one more time.

So by doing a little research in the internet, you will find that modern Greek language is the direct descentant of "Koine" Greek, spoken since (and by) Alexander's time (4th century BC) which was itself deriving from Attic Greek dialect. Very few languages in the world can claim such extraordinary continuity and relevance. Actually the Greek Orthodox mass is still performed in this language, rather that modern Greek, and is perfectly understood even by the most illiterate believer.

On the rest no comment, I can attribute it to your severe inferiority complex. At least it's good to know that we give you some purpose in life

This is the basic of this magic:

"The Serbs basing on the situation that 3/4 of the Balkan peninsula is populated by Slavs and one big part of them were under the rule of the Bulgarian tribe, take the historical task to free all Slavs from the influence of the ex-bulgarian khans, to clean them from the mongol blood and to unite them in one Great Jugoslavia from Beograd to Thessalonike and from Adriatic sea to Black sea."

By Vladan Djordjevich, Beograd 1908.

Thus was created Macedonia.
