Quote

It [Macedonian language] has not created by natural means, as all other languages in the world, but was created by political circumstances. It is an absurd, that it was created on a certain date – namely August 2nd, 1944, and at certain place – the monastery “Prohor Pchinski”, with a decree. Such an event has not happened to any other language in the world.

Quote

With other words, the very soul of the so-called Macedonian language is of no linguistical but of political nature, which is the source of todays political problems between the Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria
