Quotes
This idea, [of authonomous Macedonia] nevertheless, remained a Bulgarian idea. Neither the Greeks, nor the Turks, nor any other nationality in Macedonia accepted that slogan... The idea of autonomous Macedonia developed most significantly after the creation of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (sic)...[4]
