6903:"SOFIA - With just months to go until it is due to join the European Union, Bulgaria is being flooded with citizenship applications by Macedonian and Moldovan nationals claiming Bulgarian origins to obtain a European passport. “Since 2001, Bulgaria has been attractive for its Euro-atlantic prospects, its stability and the travel opportunities that Bulgarian passports offer. Applications have increased exponentially,” Stefan Nikolov of the Agency for Bulgarians Abroad told AFP. Valid claims of ethnic Bulgarian origin presented by Macedonians, Moldovans, Russians, Israelis, Ukrainians and Serbs increased from 5,495 in 2001, to 29,493 in 2004, with another 23,200 in 2005. “The administration is overwhelmed but still conducts severe checks to prevent unlawful claims,” according to Nikolov. Some 50,000 claims are still to be considered, while “a large part of these might be based on documents with dubious validity,” he added. “Every file is reviewed by experts from the Agency for Bulgarians Abroad, the Interior Ministry and the Justice Ministry to prevent abuses, but this happens at the price of delays in taking decisions,” Nikolov said. Bulgaria is scheduled to join the EU in 2007, although it is still awaiting September 26 and the European Commission’s final ruling on whether accession will go ahead on time or be postponed with another year. Some 20,000 people have acquired Bulgarian citizenship since 2001. In 2005 alone, 2,425 Macedonians, 2,455 Moldovans, 160 Russians, 152 Israelis, 245 Ukrainians and 128 Serbs were granted a ”facilitated naturalisation procedure.” Unlike other applicants, they enjoy all the rights of Bulgarian citizens, including that of attending Bulgarian universities for a token fee, without having to renounce their other nationality. Among those who profit the most from gaining a Bulgarian passport are the descendants of Bulgarian emigrants in Besarabia, a region between Moldova and Ukraine. Some 20,000 of them have already registered in the north-east of the country. The issue however is especially delicate with applicants from Macedonia, a neighbouring Balkan country of about two million inhabitants with which Bulgaria has historically had a dispute over the origin of its Slavic population. Bulgarian historians say Macedonians are of Bulgarian origin and their language developed from a Bulgarian dialect, which Skopje denies. But Sofia was also the first country to recognise Macedonia’s independence from the former Yugoslavia in 1991 and now favours its joining the EU. “Every Macedonian national who does not claim Albanian or Serbian origin has the right to declare a Bulgarian origin. This is an individual act in accordance with the historical reality of our common ethnic origin,” according to Nikolov. A scandal broke out recently in Macedonia over news that the former prime minister and current deputy Ljubco Georgievski had also acquired Bulgarian citizenship. Since 2001, some 25,000 passport claims have been deposited by Macedonians in Sofia, according to official data. The authorities in Skopje refuse to give any comment or present any figures. “I do not want to be a second-class citizen anymore. My husband and I, we love travelling, but the procedure for obtaining Schengen visas is a real torture. This is the only reason I am applying for a Bulgarian passport,” explains Gordana Sonevska, a 43-year-old Macedonian lawyer. Legal procedures granting Bulgarian citizenship are neither simpler nor stricter than in EU member states, according to Nikolov. But the procedure for ethnic Bulgarians is much easier than for other foreigners. Every year, only 100 of the latter are granted a Bulgarian passport" 8649:

about the great extent of Slavic settlements in Greece don't deny that the two emperors' campaigns to regain control can be considered successful. What you did the last time was overfocusing on the Slavic settlement question in whole of Greece, those details on views only fit a Slav history perspective, cause from a Greek perspective the picture is that of a more or less dark period with little archaelogical information, implying some degree of general decline and a foreign settlement/invasion connection. This is a specific region's medieval history section, needing a balanced and breef presentation. Meaning you can't give less weight to an empire's constant efforts to maintain its sovereignity, either way the regional history of Slavs gains importance (in terms of the region and not specifically about the Slainformation) only as part of the history of the Byzantine and Bulgarian empires. Bear in mind when talking about details relating to the Slav presence outside those two political entities in Greece we're only talking about theories, not clear facts. Was there a Slavic settlement in Peloponnesus for example ? most probably. We can even discuss off-topic about a forgotten village with a Greek speaking population i came across and my speculations about their farming system of common ownership. But the consequences and the extent of that presence along with how it evolved depends on how much value a researcher will give to the limited amount of evidence, and it's not this article's purpose to deploy such a thing let alone only mentioning the view that gives more weight to it, making any attempt to have a POV-pushing character.--

professors at top universities debate the origins of Macedon and Macedonians and are unable to make a clear decision regarding this issue? Now, please tell me how wikipedian "scholars" have it figured out? You, and the rest of you Gerkoman idiots, are pathetic! Not only that, the statement "therefore, Macedonians must be Greek" in and of itself is a conclusion? CITATION PLEASE! You dumb asses think you have it all figured out which, also in and of itself, shows your competence. In order for this to be a neutral page, you must add passages that allow the reader to forumlate an opinion, not you forumlate an opinion for the reader. Only then can this pathetic page be neutral. At this point, this page is a Gerki infested sad excuse for informitive neutral history. A statement "Some historians believe that there is not enough evidence for claiming a Greek origin of Macedon and Macedonians. The following passages are used to support their conclusion:" and then a list of supporting passages from ancient texts. No conclusion is drawn for the reader as he is able to decide if the passages support the claim. But dumb statements like "Alexander is Greek" form the conclusion for the reader. It is clear, hectorov, that you are as pathetic as the Gerki on this site. Get a life, an education, and.......fuck it, I'm not waisting any more time with you stupid asses. Punk ass Prosphigi.....

years after the death of Alexander the Great” when the article said to begin with – “Some believe in a so called "Slavic Migration theory" which states that the slavic people who currently populate much of the region of Macedonia did not arrive in the Balkans until approximately 1000 years after the fall of Alexander the Great.” It has to do with framing the statement. Your statement clearly says for fact that the “Slavic people arrived in the Balkans approximately 1000 years after the death of Alexander,” while mentioning nothing that this is an academic theory with regards to the origins of the slavic people. You are misleading the reader who would cleary and correctly ration from your statement something that is not so fundamentally clear and correct. Through your use of framing, you eliminate the neutral point of veiw and solidly create misunderstandings of great porportions. The theory itself favors one point of view over the other, namly “Greece,” but that is besides the point; to show both points of view, not simply one or the other. Through illistrating both points of view, the reader can solidly make a concious decion with the information that is available but you must represent the information in full with accuracy which you are eliminating. Thus, the theory of “nationalism” is born.

6451:

anyone doubt the Greek identity of Alexander? How do you justify that anything he every said or wrote was in Greek? It's because he was Greek! I do feel sorry for you Skopjians that you have zero ethnic or cultural identity. It must be awful to hate your history so much that you invade and steal your neighbors. And as for you non Greek/Skopjian "historians" with your thoughts on the issue, why don’t you take a history class or maybe take your head out of the sand before you go and proclaim your worthless theories that only give hope to the Skopjian minority. There is no chance and there never was of Alexander the Great being a Slav. I am sorry I know you close your eyes at night at wish really hard that its true, but it isn’t. It’s just the way it is and there isn’t anything any of you can do about it. MAKEDONIA will forever be Greek, because that’s what it always has been. And as far as the war mongers of your countrymen who claim they will have reunification of "Makedonjia" or whatever the hell bastardized name you have invented I am sorry but that also will never happen. IT’S GOING TO STAY GREEK NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY OR DO. So instead of continuing these futile attempts why not look to your own rich slavic/serbian heritage than stealing your neighbors?

makes the timing suspicious. One very strange thing about the non exclusive use of term macedonia: is that it would create havoc for products from greek macedonia (appelations) being confused from the ones from vardar macedonia (posession is 9/10 of the law..., and (greek) macedonians have product appelations of the region. Why people from FyroM want to be "plain / The only and true" macedonias is quite offensive to negate the identity of others. I sure belive God deslikes stealing the identity of others, even if it's for stabilizing your country. BTW I see the vardar macedonia on wiki is redirected to "Republic of Macedonia", why is it undesireable/offensive to be Vardar ( = North)(geographic term) Macedonian? Did Mr Nimetz ever tried that? Finaly it's not the only example of this kind of dispute: China and Taiwan (past), also Luxemburg (state and province in belgium) is mentioned, but the analogy is poor, as Luxemburg never conquered the known world nor tryed to deny the identity of the belgian province. The name macedonia brings to my mind the story of King Solomon and the two mothers claim of the same child... but this time it's not a material dispute. if only : Macenians and Donians :)

3754:~~ I have met "Slav speaking Macedonians" in Australia - and they are from FYROM or yugoslavia they are not from Macedonia of Greece, so how can you accuse Greece or deporting them? I don't see the connection. Besides, Greece fought against the Bulgarians over Macedonia and not the Slavs of Yugoslavia or FYROM. It sounds like either the Bulgarians decided to change their nationality or the name was altered to "Slav Macedonia" or that there is something else is going on. I don't get it. Who are the old Bulgarians (Greco-Bulgarian Wars) now, if it's the FYROMs or "Yugo/Slavo Macedonians" that are now accusing Greece of genocide? Ancient and Byzantine Macedonians were of Greek stock - hence the history, the names of places and found archaelogical inscriptions - even the culture of the Macedonian Empire. So, who deported the "Slav" Macedonians? Greeks deported Bulgarians - they would claim to be Bulgarians themselves. Greek Macedonians migrated, they weren't deported. Many still live in Greek Macedonia. The slav Macedonians in Australia are not from Greek Macedonia. I've asked the ones I know. Can someone explain what's going on? ApplesnPeaches ~~ 8860:"The Sklaviniai of Macedonia" to "some Sklaviniai" , which is pretty vague, we need not draw anything, again provide a source that makes a collective treatment and arrives to such a decisive conclusion. Even the possibility you mention about the transition from Byzantine to Bulgarian rule needs to be sourced directly. The Sklavinias were not states or anything concrete politically, they were groups of people with some notion of rule over an area, they were significantly helped by the plaque that inflicted losses on the native population and the absence of imperial troops due to constant wars in other parts, sometimes even the locals benefited from their resistance to imperial rule avoiding to pay taxes and blah blah blah. They often made compromises to survive and many didn't survive (at least didn't survive free), we're talking about a constant struggle, a real "mess", and you are trying to present it as something discrete. "Some Sklavinias" can also be applied to those still existing in Peloponnesus even after the 10th century (not even touching the degree of "independence" there). I don't want to continue discussing this, my request is very simple. 8851:

been at least four major expeditions against them and the Bulgars for example, it was also a common practice for instance for the emperors to make "loyalty" agreements with Slavic tribes which when not kept sometimes produced measures against them. I already said that at some point the "Thessalonian territory" (denoting strong Byzantine control) reached Strymon with the help of the imperial army and some loyal Slavic groups. That's not to prove the opposite of the sentence you added but to show how disputable its meaning can be. Of course it is more than safe to conclude that there where periods the Slavs in the region where largely uncontrolable and blah blah blah. But what am i so shameless to ask ? a freaking reliable source that contains such an absolute conclusion as the above (and obviously if one can be found it would refer to a smaller period). Frankly i believe this to be meaningless or at least controversial, your own source Curta tells us that there are very few information about Slavs in the 7th century (if i remember correctly), so, just give a source and don't expect me to discuss producing a conclusion on exclusion factors.

5494:

above? Or, wait, that must only work in theory? Or, maybe only if information is pro Greek? Today is a sad day for the Greek people if your ideas represent the whole. Do you have any idea of the implications of deleting contrasting, vaild, and sourced information? I’ll tell you the implications – it illistrates that the Greek ideal, your ideal,which should be the only represented information in this article, is not only solidly contested, but that it is contested in such a strong manner that the Greek people are even afraid to have it posted where people can see and read it. Why are you so affraid? Why do you show weakness? This is a clear victory for Macedonia and the Macedonian people. Fear of the contrasting arguement has strong implications my friend! Oh, but dont worry, even if the moderaters on this site dont do there job to let all relevent information be part of the article, the Macedonians will make it happen where it counts - and guess what and who really counts? Not biased Knowledge and not wikipedian "scholars."

8643:"In the late 7th century Justinian II organized a massive expeditions against the Sklaviniai of the Greek peninsula, in which he reportedly captured over 110,000 Slavs and transferred them to Cappadocia. By the time of Constans II (who also organized campaigns against the Slavs), the significant number of the Slavs of Macedonia were captured and transferred to central Asia Minor where they were forced to recognize the authority of the Byzantine emperor and serve in its ranks. There are no Byzantine records of "Sklaviniai" after 836/837 as they were absorbed into the expanding Slavic First Bulgarian Empire. Slavic influence in the region strengthened along with the rise of this state, which incorporated parts of the region to its domain in 837 AD. In the early 860s Saints Cyril and Methodius, Byzantines born in Thessaloniki, created the first Slavic Glagolitic alphabet in which the Old Church Slavonic language was first transcribed, and are thus are commonly referred to as the " 3638:"In many years Macedonians were genocid in Aegean Macedonia.From there we can find great Macedonian diaspora in Australia (about 1.000.000 people),Canada(800.000 people),U.S.A(700.000 people).Who was most of them born in Macedonia but by the end of the Greek civil war(1946-1949) they were reffugied in many states in the World.This was Great Genocid after the World War 2.But by the Greak propaganda the world public opinion did't know anything abot that.Until these days they can't see his villiges,towns,cities were they born.The Greak autorities don't allow to them to enter in Greece just becouse they are Macedonians.In some statistic by the year 1902 in the town of Solun (Tessaloniki)made by the Turcish autorities in that time in Solun lived 250.000 Jewls(they were genocid under the German occupation in the World War 2),300.000 Macedonians,150.000 Greeks,200.000 Turks, and others." 8156:

of the times, whether they were called Bulgars or Serbs (Byzantium, the Ottomans, the Europeans, the Church (any church), Bulgaria, Serbia, everybody, so 20% Slav would be somewhat little, it cannot just be the Slavonian culture that was so captivating... there must have been great numbers.) Or maybe by this 20% would you mean those who can boast purity in Slavic descenadance, for "origin" can also be partial? Anyways.. The populations were universally acknowledged as Slavic in origin, which would incorporate those who were completely assimilated by them. If we start dfferentiating races like that then there are absolutely NO pure races worldwide and we would call everybody by the language they are speaking... which we do not. Why don't you say : "of Slavic origin and language"? This would incorporate all and still make clear that the Slavic element is predominant.

8070:(3) Regarding Emperor Justinians campaigns. The reports of capturing hundreds and thousands of Slavs and forcibly removing them to Anatolia etc is viewed by Balkanalogists such as John Fine and Florin Curta as an exaggeration by Byzantine chroniclers (as is likely the reports of hundreds of thousands of Slavs besieging Thessaloniki). In all likelihood, the Byzantine attempts to pacify the Slavic tribes was less than succesfull. Yes some were militarily pacified. But most remained ethnically independent, especially in Macedonia region. Even in the deep south, pockets of Slavic tribes remained until Ottoman times ! Some tribal leaders were 'bribed'into accepting the Byzantine system. The Slavic tribes were far too divided and disorganised - which proved an advantage against Hellenization becuase the Byzanntines could organise a concentrated military effort. 251:"Read the Anthropologic/ cultural studies done the Aegean region of Macedonia done by Anastasia N. Karakasidou called 'Fields of wheat, Hills of blood' published by the University of Chicago press.

nationalistic” then how can you say “people like me” “mistake their objections as signs of natinalism?” For, if you have no understanding with reagard to what context I use the term “nationalistic” or “nationalism,” you are unable to correctly come to the conclusion that I “mistake objections as signs of nationalism.” Straightforwardly, the statement itself makes little sense as you are not referencing who “their” objections may be as “their” should relate to “people like me” yet it makes no sense that “people like me” mistake our own ojections as nationalistic? Either way, you are erroniously classifying me into a group of people which you believe exist on this “discussion forum” when the evidence illistrates that my actions are none of the sort.

Macedonian 'region' emerged in the late 19th century and was consolidated in the 20th with the creation of a Republic of Macddonia nation-state. This upsets some Greek Macedonians because it gives validity to the existence of a Macedonian state (and long may it exist). It also upsets some Macedonian Slavs because they are concerned that without a history streching back to Alexander, and without the invented existence of a continuous Macedonian region, they loose credibility. Of course, that is rubbish. I suggest you open your eyes to the Republic and you will see that it is very real without all that surplus. Those are the facts my dear correspondent, and I am sorry if this upsets your Greek/Bulgarian/Macedonian/Albanian (?) sensitivity.

1710:. "Macedonians" are people inhabiting said region, which at present is divided between two sovereign political entities, and they speak various languages, predominantly Greek and Slavic, with an Albanian minority. If we replace this emotionally charged terminology with terms like "red" and "blue", it would all be very elementary set theory. I see the problem, of course. While Greek Macedonians will be Greek citizens, Slavic Macedonians will be RoM citizens, and the common adjective will more likely be simple "Macedonian" than "RoMian". Much like Pakistani avoid calling themselves "Indians". This is not a logically 'deep' problem, however, since it will be mostly clear from the context what is meant (much like with 8202:"Despite intermittent uprisings, the Slavs of central greece were gradually assimilated. The process of Hellenization was threefold. In central and southern Greece, where Slavic presence might have been lighter and Greek presence heavier, the process primarily required the inclusion of the Slavic archonts into the Byzantine socio-economic sphere, effectively bringing back centralized rule . This was augmented by Empire's bringing in of Greek speakers from more peripheral terrtories such as Syria, Armenia and Anatolia (which were steadily being lost) . Although this was achieved in Greece proper, the greater concentration of Slavic settlement in Macedonia prevented the Byzantines from achieving their aims." 2329: 5707:"scholars" who make important territorial, historical, and international decisions." While you dumb asses may have numbers here, which is allowing you to keep the article Pro-Gerkoman and only Gerkoman, the Macedonians will make it happen where it counts. I shouldnt have even started here to begin with - rather than discussing issues online with you Prosphigi and Gerkoman pigs, who only allow, as I stated above, only Gerki points of view, I could be focusing more time on the very important situations me and my Macedonian conterparts are working on. Again, ban me off this fucking site already - Macedonian876 too because WE ARE THE SAME PERSON. Thank you 7148:"Vardar Macedonia" consistant but not the discriptions that follow. If you explain one in terms of location, like "in Albania" or "in Serbia," then the other parts should also do the same. Hence, it should not read "Aegean Macedonia- (or Greek Macedonia)" but rather should read something like "Aegean Macedonia- (in Greece)" for example, or "Pirin Macedonia- (in Bulgaria)" for example. This would keep parallelism in play. Because I am well aware of the "political nature" of Macedonian matters, I will propose two different versions for the edit of the picture's discription - and both changes follow the principles of clarity and parallelism: 6220:

according to some authors (anderson, hobsbawm) almost all national identities are invented- however i do not think this is what the article means. if on the other it means that there were no indices of national identity/awakening before the communist regime i think this is not true. one can argue about the characteristics of the macedonian national feeling prior to the 1940s(or earlier than that) but the idea that "the ‘Macedonian’ identity was invented to serve the effort of Bulgaria and Serbia to control these lands" is simply inaccurate. - i would also like to know why "Macedonian" and not simply Macedonian)

Another: The arguement (about the timing of Bulgaria's expansion into Macedonia) assumes Byzantium restored its authority over western Macedonia at some time in the ninth century. Such a recovery, though often assumed, is not documented. Thus, possibly western Macedonia remained Sclavinias up to Bulgaria's acquisition. In this case, Bulgaria would simply have asserted control over various independent tribes - an act which being unrelated to a war with Byznatium, could have occurred at any time in the 9th century" 3489:, emperor of (greek cultured byzantium) inogureur of the Macedonian dynasty, who as you know expelled bulgarian AND serbian domination of macedonian province in greek lands.

I am not surprised you claim an iffy link to Alexanders' macedonia (too long ago, more chanche to pass your lies), but I am surprised why the greeks forget their direct lineage to the macedonian and greek byzantium, of not so far back: in the midlle ages. This romantic antiquity is really so permeable... 4962:"Regarding the removal of 'which countries recognised ROM and which FYROM', in my estimation, I was originally the one who introduced the names of the SCUN countries that recognised ROM under that name, but in the ROM entry, and I further justified the term 'most'.

Perhaps some contributors write as if they desire to identify the borders of the Republic (its ethnography, its history) with those of a huge region. Perhaps they want the world to believe that before 1913 there existed an ethno-geographical Macedonian entity; perhaps some contributors may wish to include that they descended from the ancient Macedonians and that they are the fathers of the Greek and Slavic languages, but that pre-1913, mythical Macedonia was torn apart by its neighbours. They write with that imagined injustice in mind. 3228:

refer to it as Macedonians (actually all of them refer to it as Macedoinans), and the review of the major media outlets as well - they tend to use Macedonians when referring to this ethnic group (BBC officially apologized for using the Macedonian Slavs, and similar terms for it). To avoid ambiguity - my proposal is to move the article Macedonian Slavs to Macedonians (ethnic group), Macedonians (nationality), Macedonians (people) or a similar options - this acceptable even to some Greeks, and there were a number of neutral proponents for this at the relevant talk page. That would my proposal for the

Empire. No other Slavic political entity or sovereign territory can be defined. The term Slaviniai itself was used by the Byzantines to describe the segregated Slav communities they tried to have under control with various means, probably some degree of autonomy existed in those isolated and not so organized groups, nothing to conclude about a total lack of Byzantine control over the area.

Some believe in a so called "Slavic Migration theory" which states that the slavic people who currently populate much of the region of Macedonia did not arrive in the Balkans until approximatlly 1000 years after the fall of Alexander the Great." This statement is clear and neutral and allows the reader to futher understand and comprehend the issues and concepts at hand.

I really hope that the official Greek (or the Macedonian) position is not based on such circular argumentation but again that would (or should) have nothing to do with this article.

4595:. The original inhabitans were Africans from Botswana who emigrated to northern Greece in the 3nd century BC. Their language is the ancestor of today's English, Latin and Greek and their religion consisted of hanging their sheets to prove their innocence - hence the black pronounciation of 'my' as 'ma'. They were exterminated by the villainous Greeks who then stole their bla-bla-bla-bla... (Professor?) Risto Stefov of the Knowledge Academy of Truth knows the full story.

It doesn't deny the historical place or importance of Greek culture in Thessaloniki during 9th-10th centuries.

Relax, my friend. It is truth that the Aegean part of Macedonia was dominantly Macedonian till after the Greek Civil War, but now the things changed there.

On the other hand, the Russian Church did not protest against Jovan's inprisoning.

As a Macedonian I consider being called a “Yugoslavic” a prejudice and derogatory term, as there are over a million self identified Macedonians in RoM, they are the third largest ethnic minority in Australia, yet you still seem to believe that they want to be called Yugoslavs. They want to be called

Hello everyone, I wanted to explain the additions of the maps. I looked at all the maps and only saw maps that verified the whole "Macedonians are Bulgarians" arguments.

What do Dacia and Dalmatia have to do with Macedonia? If you wish to add such information, you have to be absolutely clear for you know the sensitivity of this issue.

One clarification: the new proposal of Mr Nimetz (United Nations) has not been made public. So it's only leaks we hear. It was however a complete flip-flop, as the previous proposal was accepted by the greek side and rejected by FyroM only a few month ago. Furthermore the 9 of november being close

VMORO the etymology reflects the fact that it's a Greek word, not that the current Greek-speaking population of the region (which is the majority anyway).

So you spread the conclusive statement " ...the Byzantines held little authority..." from 5th to 10th century ? This is really tiring. We are not here to add our OR, we're trying to build a narrative of notable facts. From around 610 AD when the Slavs made a strong comeback until 800 AD there have

I keep trying to highlight that Emperor Constans' campaigns had virtually no effect on the Slavs in Macedonia / northern Greece, rather they were more effective against the Sklaviniai in Thrace, central Greece and Peloponessus. The Byzantines virtually had no authority in Macedonia until 1018 AD .
