Talk:Republic of Macedonia/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Augen Macednonia( or like the greeks said "Greek Macedonia") is only one part of The whole Macedonia and we will get them back and all Macedonians will live in one country.....That is everything i want in this life!

The man that wrote the above comment is highly delusional and just a petty nationalistic thug. If you even try to make preparations for war against Greece we will destroy you and your insignificant little country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.49.84.219 (talk) 18:31, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't think any of the two comments above contribute to this discussion, I would vote for their removal from this page.

Alexander the Great was risen in an environment that were saying "Who is not Greek, is a barbarian" 
(coming from the vast difference of the Creek civilization from it's neighbors). Despite that, when 
he took over the world, he said "However learns and respects the Greek language and culture, and fights 
for Greece, is a Greek". That's a proof that he was the greatest visionary of all times.

So however wants to call himself Greek (and Macedonian = Greek) can start by learning the Greek culture and language, the same way as all the rest of the Macedonians, since the ancient times. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.148.158.229 (talk) 09:09, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Although factually correct to the best of my knowledge, I don't think the above contributes to the discussion either.

FYROM is not recognised by the UN with the name "Republic of Macedonia". There is a standing argument related to the name of the country, and in my opinion this article should bear the UN accepted name. The country was admitted in the UN in 8 April 1993 (A/RES/47/225), the admission document can be seen at http://www.un.org/documents/ga/res/47/a47r225.htm and explicitly states that the United Nation

... Decides to admit the State whose application is contained in document
A/47/876-S/25147 to membership in the United Nations, this State being
provisionally referred to for all purposes within the United Nations as "the
former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" pending settlement of the difference
that has arisen over the name of the State.

[edit] The truth about Macedonia

Why you people want to change the history? History has already been written thousand years ago. Why don't we respect that? Why you people want to harm Greece? Greece was always a friend to other nations. Why you people want to cut the motherland of civilization into pieces? (Skopjians want to take the geographically Greek part of Macedonia, Albanians want to take Hepirus, Turks want to take Thrace). They all admit that these areas are theirs from thousand of years ago. Why don't we shout the real truth? Skopjians are Slavs. Slavs came to Europe around 1000 AD. How can they be Macedonians? Macedonians were a Greek tribe in the northern part of ancient Greece which was included FYROM, the south part of Bulgaria and the today's Greek part of Macedonia. Macedonia, my friends is a Greek word, not a Slavian word. Fillip B', the father of Alexander the Great, had one dream: To unite all the Greek cities into one nation. His dream was meant to be fullfilled by his son. Fillip is a Greek name, which means "the one that loves horses". Alexander is a Greek name. Macedonians were Greeks, spoke Greek, loved Greek gods, built their cities and temples in the Greek way. Otherwise, why wasn't Fillip called by a Slavian name or Alexander? Ok, guys, you want to change the history. So, name Voukefalas, the horse of Alexander, as Zastava! I am very sad as a human and as a Greek, that I am forced to support and defend facts of thousands of years. I am sad that I have to defend for the obvious, because some powerful men on this planet decided one nice morning to destroy every nation's history and culture for the profit and just because they didn't have history and culture!!! And all in the name of The New Order on Earth! --- As far as Albanians, they came in Europe after Slavs from Caspian Sea, near the Urals. There, there was a territory called Albania. And they moved from there searching a better life and they settled down in the place that was habited by a Greek tribe, Illyria. How can they name themselves, Illyrians??? And as far as the Turks??? Ok, we all know that they were a nomad tribe from Mongolia! Why don't they let us in peace? Why don't they want to live in peace with their neighbours? Isn't it enough for them that they are all guests in their neighbours's house? What do they want more? To push us out of our homes too??? Well, ladies and gentlemen of the New Order, I have to tell you a secret: You forgot something! The Greek soul! It is unbeatable! Do you know what the results of your alchimies will be?? Just to make Greece bigger and stronger...You will see that as soon as the war that you will have started, will have come to an end. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.203.57.216 (talk) 20:54, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
