What were macedonians?

Well before it becomes off topic. Yannis is right.
But, many Western Europeans have the consept/experience of living in "federalistic national enties" where speaking a different language does not necessarily mean another nationality. (i.e. Switzerland, Belgium).
So they find it hard to "digest" that this concept does not apply to other regions perhaps the same way that others find hard to "get" the above.
Cristina made a rational approach but the evolutionary develpoment in her country was totaly different than in our country.
Also in every human society, no matter how it is adminstrated, the consept of "inheritance" and "land of the forefathers" is paramount.
Naturaly people who lived more than 3000 years in area do not take it kindly when "outsiders" question their "land rights" in that area.
In this forum we are lucky that we can have rational discussions on that issues. But please keep in mind that in the world outside when questions like that arise there are resolved with human suffering.
Currently in the T.V. we see what happens when the "land of the forefathers" becomes an issue.
Kind regards
