The greek newspaper “Empros” had in the paper of 19th December of 1897, interview of the Bulgarian former prime-minister Karavelov. Its quite interesting, especially the part of his interview where he says ” In Macedonia there are Greeks, Bulgarians and Turks.”
Of course nowhere is mentioned anything about an alledged ‘macedonian’ ethnicity

Another interview from a former Bulgarian prime minister. This time a greek reporter takes an interview from Vasil Radoslavov and its published in the paper of 22 December 1897. Again Radoslavov is talking about the Bulgarians and Greeks of Macedonia. No “Macedonians’ of the skopjan type found yet.
