Macedonia is already in the EU along with the rest of Greece.
- Regarding The Former Yugoslav Republic and why it cannot join the EU or any other international organization with the name "Macedonia":
- 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 as Macedonians with a Greek ethnic linguistic and cultural identity, continuously inhabiting the land of historical Macedonia from the present to ancient times.
- Historical Macedonia, on the northern Greek peninsula was liberated from foreign Ottoman occupation in 1912.
- 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.
- The Former Yugoslav Republic constantly makes territorial provocations on Greece's historical northern province and continues on unimpeded with its expansionist agenda to change peoples perceptions and validate a lie.
The 'Greater Region' partition myth
The claim perpetuated as justification for the use of the historical Greek name "Macedonia" and at the heart of the expansionist plan is that Macedonia was a region that was "divided".
FACT:
There is no such thing as a Macedonian Greater Region and in particular one that was divided. This is propaganda spread across many platforms by the Former Yugoslav Republic whose aim is to distort historical reality and create a false narrative for 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.
