Geography Now! Rep. of North Macedonia 

i wish that my country could just be called The Republic Of Macedonia

I think north Macedonia should let in the Canadian army and it will become a Canadian puppet state. May the empire never fall!

I wish

As you can see the general population of both countries does care. Tsipras took this desision alone, greek People dont agree, MAKEDONIA is greek

It was an undemocratic decision by Tsipras the people were not asked and hates tsipras ! did not they know that? Did not you see the demonstrations? would you betray the name of your country to a country with evil intentions?

Macedonia for the Macedonians -William Gladstone British Statesman and British Prime minister on the 19th of January 1897 speaks of the glorious heritage of the Macedonians. And he clearly notes that Phillip II, Alexander, Aristotle, Cyril and Methodius are Macedonians. That Macedonians are not Slavs and that are not Greeks. "Macedonia-for the Macedonians" he declares.

And something else read about the Macedonian wars with Rome and you will find that Greeks were allied of Rome against the Macedonians.

​@@gotenaragon8108Learn history Greek city- states were separated Achaians Thessalians Epirus were allies to Makedoniabs when Aetolians Athenians with Rome When they understood it was too late( Roman diplomaty) Methodios and Cyrillos were greek monks from Thessaloniki and gave the cyrillic language and religion to slavs( your ancestors ) after they came from the north

they were Greeks as your German king Otto of Bavaria was Greek

Another fun fact "if the Macedonians were Greek then why were they going to war with the Greek city states?" Well the Greek city states were always constantly allying and going to war with each other. It's how it was. Macedonia was just the strongest of them all.

@@NikolaBent976 North Macedonia or FYROM was created in 1991. Remember that it has no connection to ancient Macedonia.

@@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.

PELAZGIAN ILYRIAN Spartans and Macedonians were Dorian Greeks, and Athenians were Attic Greeks. Either way Pelasgians were Greeks. Albanians are Gypsies who mixed with Slavs and Turks, so they are not “Illyrian” or “Pelasgian”.

worldsbestskiinstructor No writers ever said that. You’re blinded with propaganda. Macedonians were ethnically and culturally Greek, all the Greek city-states rivaled each other so there’s no logic in what you Skops say. Also the Ancient Macedonians were descendants of Dorian Greek tribes from Argos. Read actual history and not propaganda made by Tito.

Only 2% of Macedonia is roma

Exactly why are Greeks like Armenians in their slightly twisted interpretation of history. Perhaps the Greeks should have payed more attention to their country more recently rather than 2500 years ago. Then they wouldn't be owned by the Germans. (Sorry, did this go too far? Sorry Stavros)

Then again, Luxembourg is both a province of Belgium and an actual country. Despite that, neither of them have a different name. Why would Macedonia need different names?

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.

Manuel Campins Exactly.

Aart Bruneel I still don't see why "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" is better than "Republic of Macedonia". Bulgarian Macedonia and the Macedonian regions in Greece are not republics, so "Republic of Macedonia" should work just fine.

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.

No Mister or Madam. These people are Macedonians and they don’t want to become Greeks. It’s an insult to them. Only a Pontic can consider on that way.

When have we said that he was Slavic?

"The Macedonians are about to pass judgement upon you; I wish to know weather you will use their native tongue in addressing them." Philotas replied: "Besides the Macedonians there are many present who, I think, will more easily understand what I shell say if I use the same language which you have employed." Than said the king: "Do you not see how Philotas loathes even the language of his fatherland? For he alone disdains to learn it. But let him by all means speak in whatever way he desires, provided that you remember that he holds out customs in as much abhorrence as our language" (Curtius).

@Real history is unpleasant! you are clearly unhistorical. So let me tell you something there smartass. Alexander recognised himself as a Greek. Go to vergina in Greece, go see that stone tablet. You know what is written there? In ancient Greek saying how proud he was being a Greek (ευγνωμονώ τοις θεοις ότι εγεννηθην ελλην) also the grave of Phillip I I is situated there. I mean what is wrong with you people! Greece has enormous history and a lot of people are jealous of it. Macedonia was a Kingdom, an enormous empire and it was treated as a lesser state but that doesn't make it less Greek. It's like athena and sparta, Macedonia - Athena - Sparta are 3 glorious Greek kingdoms. About the thing you said: how do you expect a Greek map if there was literally under the ottoman empire? Go search it by your own but this doesn't make it less Greek. Also just because Tito told you that you are some kind of decentants of Alexander doesn't mean it's true. No one mentioned anything until tito and all of a sudden you are Macedonians? How is that possible? A history of a nation is known as a fact since forever, but no one talk about this.

@Real history is unpleasant! all world knows that in ancient times Greece was seperate to many Greek nations others was kingdoms like macedonia,thrace,epirus because they had kings to rule them and others was city-states with democracy like Athens,thebes..and oligarchy like sparta. ALSO ALEXANDER UNITE ALL GREEKS AS ONE NATION..THE PANHELLENIC NATION..against the Persians. where are slavs thata time??? hmmm....maybe on the steps of Russia !!!!!!!! hahaha so the word Macedonia..have nothing to do with slavs.

@Real history is unpleasant! why u dnt show any map at the medieval times..to show where the slavs was...at the stepes...of siberia...and they dnt have nothing to do with the PROVINCE of GREECE Macedonia

@@user-tj6rs3bh9y he can't prove a thing anyways, besides slavs appeared to this world the 6th century a.C, about 1000 years after Alexanders death. By the way I'm so curious why Alexander would not understand their Bulgarian dialect today?

@@refundmybirth1232 umm see i am from macedonia and the macedonians tried to speek their own language and they had a language but couldnt because of the neyboring contries(mostly greece and bulgaria) .these countries wanted to make the macedonians their own and if they found out that the macedonian where claiming to independent and that macedonia was a thing they would kill them or just tourture them

So true

*Alexander the Great after the Battle of the Granicus* In order to inform Greeks about his victory, he sent to the Athenians three hundred shields of the captives and other spoils and then he ordered to be written a glory inscription : *"Alexander, the son of Philip and the Greeks except Spartans, from the barbarians living in Asia ".* κοινούμενος δὲ τὴν νίκην τοῖς Ἕλλησιν, ἰδίᾳ μὲν τοῖς Ἀθηναίοις ἔπεμψε τῶν αἰχμαλώτων τριακοσίας ἀσπίδας, κοινῇ δὲ τοῖς ἄλλοις λαφύροις ἐκέλευσεν ἐπιγράψαι φιλοτιμοτάτην ἐπιγραφήν· *«Ἀλέξανδρος [ὁ] Φιλίππου καὶ οἱ Ἕλληνες πλὴν Λακεδαιμονίων ἀπὸ τῶν βαρβάρων τῶν τὴν Ἀσίαν κατοικούντων».* Plutarch - Greek Biographer www.greek-language.gr/digitalResources/ancient_greek/library/browse.html?text_id=103&page=9&hi=1596662

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... history-of-macedonia.com/2007/11/17/fyrom-falsified-claim-the-old-racial-rivalry-of-greeks-and-macedonians/

worldsbestskiinstructor tell that to the THOUSANDS of historians that think otherwise :) In short they spoke Greek they worshiped Greek gods they were considered Greeks by the other Greeks were allowed to Join the Olympic games (you could do that only if you were a greek BTW) And made the hellenic league Key word: HELLENIC! Your not winning this argument... We have found coins of that time in Macedonia with Greek letters on them I wonder Why.
