When did the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia get independence from Yugoslavia?

Answer 1

Macedonia was liberated from Ottoman Occupation in 1912 and united with the rest of Greece. It was never a part of Yugoslavia.

• Regarding The Former Yugoslav Republic and why it has been given the designation (FYROM) by the United Nations:
• • The Republic of Former Yugoslavia north of historical Macedonia, is a newly founded Slavic state with a mixed ethnic population, on what was once the kingdoms of ancient Paeonia and Dardania, and is unrelated to the historical Macedonia on the northern Greek peninsula.
  • The largest ethnic group in the Former Yugoslav Republic consist of Slavic and Turkic tribes of the Bulgarians, (People of the first Slavic and Bulgarian tribes) that began to slowly migrate into the area in the 6th century CE.
  • The Former Yugoslav Republic north of the historical Macedonia, wants to self-identify as simply "Macedonia", a name given to it in 1946 by the communist regime of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia before its dissolution. This name represents no ethnic or political reality for the new Slavic Republic, and was given the name as part of an expansionist agenda to wrest historical Macedonia from northern Greece and forge for the communist Yugoslavia, a strategic pathway to the sea.
• FYRO"M"'s violation of the name "Macedonia"
• • The use of simply "Macedonia" to describe the newly founded Slavic state is in violation of Article 2 of the UNESCO Declaration on Cultural Diversitythat states that in the interest of harmonious interaction, one nation (The Former Yugoslav Republic) in exercising its right to self-determination, cannot diminish the equal right of another nation (Greece) to identify simply by its millennia old historical identity (Macedonia) which is historically, ethnically, culturally, geographically different to the new Slavic nation.

The interim accord was signed under the auspices of the United Nations, with Greece compromising and agreeing to the temporary use of "Macedonia" with the qualifier "Former Yugoslav Republic by the new Slavic Republic, and the Republic of Former Yugoslavia agreeing to the name FYROM while it chooses a permanent name for itself that does not violate Greece's equal right to identify by its historical identity and that does not imply a territorial expansionist agenda on Greece's historical northern province.

However, instead of honoring its agreements, the former Yugoslav Republic stalls on deciding on a name for itself, continues to violate the interim accord and Article 2 of the UNESCO Declaration on Cultural Diversity by identifying itself only as "Macedonia", relentlessly creates a flood of Propaganda, misappropriates Hellenic state symbols, and demonizes and distorts the history and historical perception of Greece. The government of FYROM, and its Diaspora continue to provoke Greece and meddle in Greece's domestic affairs.
