Bulgarian claims over Macedonia

It is not my intention to insult anyone or undermine any nation. I just wanted to bring an evidence that the identity of the population of the RoM was not born in 1944 as most of the opposite side participants have posted. I also wanted to show that nobody was stealing the names of the national heroes of Bulgaria. This article shows the origins of the heroes like Gotse Delchev, Dame Gruev, Gjorche Petrov and other fighters who gave their lives for the independent Macedonian state which unfortunately did not happen before the WW-2. The material for discussion is very huge but fortunately the available archive is large as well. I must admit that the population of the RoM did share their destiny with other nations on the Balkans for more than a millennium but I don’t want to comment the early history BC as I don’t see any evidence of presence of the Slavic tribes before the 6th century in the region of Macedonia.
Here is what Mr. CHARLES R. CRANE. Reported in The New York Times on December 6, 1903

MACEDONIA’S HEROIC STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM The Macedonians were nearly freed from the Turks at the end of the Russo-Turkish war in 1878. Knowing this, and seeing the great prosperity of their kinsmen in Bulgaria, they have never ceased their struggle to obtain the same position. The movement began to be particularly strong in the early part of the nineties and received a great impetus in 1895 owing to the interest that Prince Ferdinand then took in their affairs. At that time Bulgarian officers, Sarafoff among the number, first seriously attempted to raise an insurrection. This however was easily stifled by the Turkish soldiers. However, the revolutionary propaganda made great headway among the younger generation in Macedonia, who became greatly interested in the work for future freedom. Rifles were obtained and military exercises started in the villages. But for some time a central organization was not worked out or rather there were several conflicting small organizations. In a few years, however, one current became dominant, the one having for leaders Delcheff (Goce, since killed), Grooyeff (Dame), now chief of the Monastir staff; Gyorcho Petroff and Tatarcheff, the foreign representative. They took for their motto the words of Gladstone, “MACEDONIA OR THE MACEDONIANS”. THEY DIFFERENTIATED THEMSELVES FROM THE BULGARIANS AND THE MACEDONIANS LIVING IN BULGARIA WHO FORMED THE OLD COMMITTEES WITH HEADQUARTERS AT SOPHIA. [QUOTE Ended]
