Is Macedonia a poor country

Answer 1

Macedonia is a province on the northern Greek peninsula that coincides with the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia.

FYROM has nothing to do with Macedonia. FYROM is a country that was ancient Paeonia/Dardia that was occupied by Slav tribes that invaded in the 6th century AD.

FYROM is actually a pseudo-country and they rename it to Macedonia in order to make claims on the historical Macedonia of Greece.

Answer 2

• Historical Macedonia was an ancient Greek kingdom on the northern Greek peninsula
• Modern Macedonia, is a Greek province corresponding almost entirely to the ancient Greek kingdom on the northern Greek peninsula.
• There is an unbroken record of people identifying with a Greek ethnic linguistic and cultural identity, continuously inhabiting the land of historical Macedonia from the present to ancient times.
• Macedonia was liberated from foreign Occupation in 1912.

Regarding the Former Yugoslav Republic, north of the historical Macedonia

If you named a lion a duck would the lion magically become a duck? Would someone changing their name to Elon Musk magically become the rightful owner of Elon Musk's achievements, property and wealth? Would Slovenia renaming itself the Republic of Venice become historical Venice and the Slovenians "ethnic" Venetians? Of course not.

• 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 are Slavic and Turkic tribes of the Bulgarians (People of the first Slavic and Bulgarian tribes)* that migrated to 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 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 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.
• The Former Yugoslav Republic, based on the name it insists on taking, claims the achievements, wealth and boundaries of the historical Macedonia to its south, on the northern Greek peninsula.

Macedonia as a region

There is no such thing as a "Greater Macedonia" and a "Macedonia Region" and in particular one that was divided. This is Propaganda by the Former Yugoslav Republic whose aim is to distort historical reality and create a false narrative to all those readers not familiar with Balkan history.

The illusion is that before the Balkan wars (1912-13) a sovereign state entity with the name Macedonia existed, inhabited by an alleged "Macedonian" ethnicity, that was attacked, defeated and consequently partitioned by the allied Greeks, Serbs and Bulgarians.

However, the three areas which comprise this imaginary unity, that is, modern FYROM (Vardar), Greek (Aegean) and Bulgarian (Pirin) Macedonia has never constituted an ethnological, historical, cultural and linguistic united territory. Even the name Macedonia itself (expanded as an administrative unit while under foreign occupation) was not applied to the whole area (especially the greater part of today´s FYROM that lies north of the Prilep-Strumica line).

Therefore, the terms Vardar Macedonia, Macedonia of Pirin and Aegean Macedonia used by the citizens of the FYROM were tricks by the former Yugoslavia to serve effectively its aggressive and political purposes.

The ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia was a Hellenic (Greek) kingdom on the northern Greek peninsula.

Freed from foreign Ottoman occupation in 1912, the modern Greek province of Macedonia is a Hellenic (Greek) province still on the northern Greek peninsula.

FYRO"M"'s Name Violation

• 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 ethnically, culturally, geographically different to the new Slavic nation.

The interim accord was signed under the auspices of the United Nations, obligating the Republic of Former Yugoslavia to choose for itself a name that does not violate Greece's right to identify by its historical identity and that does not imply a territorial expansionist agenda on Greece's historical northern province.

Instead of honoring its agreements, the former Yugoslav Republic continues to violate the interim accord and Article 2 of the UNESCO Declaration on Cultural Diversity, relentlessly creating propaganda, distorting the history and historical perception of Greece and continues to meddle in Greece's domestic affairs.

The Former Yugoslav Republic constantly makes territorial provocations on Greece's historical northern province and continues on unimpeded with its expansionist agenda to change people's perceptions and validate a lie.
