[@GreekOrthodox7]

This is absolutely false. You are not Macedonian to anyone in the world, accept your own delusional minds. The word Macedonia itself is literally a Greek word, from Μακεδόνες meaning the “highlanders”, and the name Alexander is literally from Greek, ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ, from two ancient Greek words, αλέξειν (alexin) “to defend, protect” and ἀνδρός (andros) “man.” Alexander the Great was Greek, spoke Greek, the ancient Macedonian language was the Greek language, and Alexander spread Greek Hellenic culture throughout the world. The Greekness of Macedonians is the basic accepted world truth. All serious historians, archeologists, geologists, and academics know that the Macedonians were always only Greek and that Macedonia was an Ancient Greek Kingdom located in northern Greece only, and NOT the region that today is called “Northern Macedonia” which corresponds to the ancient kingdom of Paeonia, not Macedonia. According to literally every legitimate study and research, the ancient Macedonians spoke and wrote only Greek, worshiped the same Greek religion that the rest of Greece practiced, participated in the Olympic games (where ONLY Greeks could participate), and spread the Hellenistic Greek culture and Greek language across the known world.

[@ΟΜέγαςΑλέξανδρος]

How ignorant, read what all serious historians, scholars, geographers, and academics say: *”Macedonia was - and still is - a territory of northern Greece.* The Ancient Macedonians were of *Greek origin* and spoke a broader rougher dialect of Greek.” (Stephen Batchelor, “The Ancient Greeks”, 2008) *“Macedonia is a Greek-speaking Kingdom in northern Greece,* populated by people using *Greek names, Greek months of the year,* worshipping Greek gods. Those who live in Skopje and say that that is Macedon and Alexander's homeland, are as *ignorant and outrageous** as if someone was to say Oxford University was really in Belarus and Oxford was Minsk!” (Robin Lane Fox, Oxford University, UK, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 29/08/2011) “Now that these descendants of Perdiccas [the Macedonians] *are Greeks, as they themselves say.* ” (Ancient historian Herodotus, “Histories”, 5.22.1) *”We know the ancient Macedonians were fundamentally Greeks.* That is to say, they were *Greek speakers* and *ethnically they were Greeks.*” (Yale University, “Introduction to Ancient Greek History, Philip, Demosthenes and the Fall of the Polis”, 2007) *“The ancient Macedonians form part of the Greek ethnos,* hence they also shared in the common religions and cultural features of the Hellenic World." (“The Oxford Classical Dictionary” 3rd ed.- Macedonia, Cults, p. 905) *”The Macedonians are and have always been Greeks,* and the creation of a Socialist Republic of Macedonia [modern North Macedonia] with Skopje as its capital is only a sad farce.” (Rene Guerdan, French historian)

[@GreekOrthodox7]

@@naumonix1571 Do you even know word the word Macedonia MEANS? The word Macedonia itself is literally a Greek word, from Μακεδόνες meaning the “highlanders”, and the name Alexander is literally from Greek, ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ, from two ancient Greek words, αλέξειν (alexin) “to defend, protect” and ἀνδρός (andros) “man.” Alexander the Great was Greek, spoke Greek, the ancient Macedonian language was the Greek language, and Alexander spread Greek Hellenic culture throughout the world. The Greekness of Macedonians is the basic accepted world truth. Of course it is Greek, according to literally every legitimate study and research, the ancient Macedonians spoke and wrote only Greek, worshiped the same Greek religion that the rest of Greece practiced, participated in the Olympic games (where ONLY Greeks could participate), and spread the Hellenistic Greek culture and Greek language across the known world.

@@GreekOrthodox7 After the ottoman occupation, a large chunk of Macedonia was taken by The Greeks, Bulgars and others... Aegean Macedonia was told by the Greeks at that time that they are Macedonians who are speaking slavic and have forgotten the Greek language. I have ancestors and relatives from Solun(Thessalonika) and we are of the same bloodline but I am born in Skopje. Many Macedonians have relatives in Greece but nowadays that truth is getting forgotten... the people who stayed after the Greek occupation on the Aegean Macedonian region are of the same blood as us! Nowadays they are mixed with Greek people yes but they were Macedonians speaking slavic same as us! It was forbidden to speak our language and were forced to learn and speak Greek or leave (or be killed), so many people fled from Aegean Macedonia(one of them was my ancestor). Many Macedonian(slavic) speaking villages were pillaged and burned so only the Greek language would be spoken. The Greek propaganda was good to switch from telling us that we are Macedonians who have forgotten the Greek language... and now we are not Macedonians because they have a big chunk of our territory?
