Are you aware of the letter that 357 clasical scholars sent to President Obama, on the issue of Macedonia? Here is a copy of the letter, along with the signatures: http://macedonia-evidence.org/obama-letter.html

Prof. Miller is one of the cosigners and you can contact him from there. You will find several articles from him on this site.

Sincerely yours,
Professor of Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University (Bishkek)
President of the Center of Greek Language and Culture Hellas
Milana Lazaridi

Solun is Thessaloniki in some other than greek language.

You claim that Solun is in your country? Are you Greek? Is this a provoke? Is this a joke?
I do not expect you to answer…

Of course if Professor Miller visits Thessaloniki, ppl there will tell him that they exist and that they are Greeks…

I call ALL SKOPJIAN population to combine the use of internet – archaeological facts – critical thinking, in order to see the truth and apologise to the whole world about this issue.

PS: Thank you for proving Professor Stephen G. Miller to be right.

Dont you ever people read Strabo’s work or your fascist state has prohibited whatever goes against your fascist, state-imposed doctrine. “Macedonia, of course IS A PART OF GREECE”.

But you cannot even distinguish the obvious from the text you are quoting.

In Thessalonike (the original Macedonian name and not the SlavoBulgarian ‘Solun’ like your Bulgarian ilk keeps naming it) Paul was able to convert several of the locals:

And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout GREEKS a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.Acts 17:4

Conclusion: Thessalonike is inhabited by GREEKS.

After Thessalonike he went to Berroia, where:

10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue. 11 Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. 12 Many of them therefore believed, with not a few GREEK women of high standing as well as men.

Acts 17:10,11,12

Conclusion: Berroia, another Macedonian town is inhabited by GREEKS.

Passages like this speak volumes about who the ancient Macedonians truly were and what language they spoke.

The bible mentions the small community of the Jews living in the city of Berroia at the time but it also tells us that “not a few” Greek women and men, indeed of high social standing, believed in his message. The same as we saw had happened earlier in Thessalonike. Now let us think about this:

Paul has been “invited” in his dream while in Troad by a Macedonian man who asked for his help to come to Macedonia. Paul goes to Macedonia, and to our surprise, no “SLAV” is ever mentioned, anywhere. Some Jews, yes, small communities here and there, and everytime Bible mentions that the Macedonian cities are inhabited by Greeks.

So, then, we are left wondering: Why is the Christian bible failing to mention ANY other, non-Greek Macedonians? Because all Macedonians were Greeks. Get over your fascist doctrines. The bible is not supposed to lie: it is not Utrinski Vesnik or Nova Makedonija or some politicaly inspired manifesto on pseudo-makedonism authored by the VMRO untra-nationalist party in Skopje!

Wake Up!!

So if he traveled from Israel to Europe via Turkey, and the first country he entered was Macedonia, the simple conclusion is that Macedonia bordered with Turkey.

Here is a history lesson as to the greek heritage

Theseus Founds Athens

B.C. 1235

Introduction

The founding of the city of Athens, apart from the mythological lore which ascribes its name to Athene, the goddess, is credited by the Greeks to Sais, a native of Egypt. The real founder of Athens, the one who made it a city and kingdom, was Theseus; an unacknowledged illegitimate child. The usual myth surrounds his birth and upbringing.

Athens

As a virgin, one could be forgiven for assuming Athena had borne no children; this, however, was not the case. Apollodorus, in his Library book 3, tells of how Athena was visiting the lame god Hephaistos to request some weapons, but he was overcome by lust for his sister Athena and tried to rape her. He was unable to catch her and take advantage, but he ejaculated onto her thigh. Athena, disgusted, wiped the divine semen from her and threw it to the ground where Erectheus (or Erecthonius according to some sources) was born the child of Hephaistos, Athena and Gaia.

There is your history. Leave ours alone

You always get the impression you read something that was written by a mental institute patient.

How can you even have take seriously someone who protests about Greeks changing Slavic toponymies when his apparent limited intelligence prohibits him from asking himself the obvious question “why Slavs changed the Greek toponymies of ancient Macedonians in first place”?

How can you even have take seriously someone whose low intelligence prohibits him from asking himself why slavs also changed the native Dardanian and Illyrian toponymies in first place?

How can you even have take seriously someone whose low intelligence prohibits him from asking himself why slavs also changed the Turkish toponymies and have the audacity now to bitch and moan about others?

But you are excused. For someone from FYROM common sense is a totally unknown term!!!

How can you even have take seriously someone whose low intelligence prohibits him from asking himself why Alexander and Macedonians spread everywhere they passed Greek language and culture? Except if you are from FYROM and live a the paralel universe where Ottoman Turks spread everywhere English, the British from the British empire era spread everywhere French language and so on.

But you are from FYROM and its known, people there are just genetically unable to think. Its no surprise you are the greatest joke this planet has ever witnessed.

I have read professor Millers article about the Macedonian question in Europe. I have also seen his full CV. It is with no doubt that he is a learned man and an honoured scholar of ancient archaeology.

I see from his CV that he has been to Greece many times, being decorated from the Greek authorities and hold many honorary titles. His reports to the US government states that my country Macedonia does not exist. Maybe he can visit my country and see it it indeed exists. Maybe he can talk to people born in Lerin, Bitola, Prilep or Solun and ask them if they don’t exist. Ask them what their mother first language was.

I have another excercise for you all. How many of the people living in the north americas can name a country starting with the letter U? Scroll to the bottom for a simple and quick answer.

Ask the Bible if St. Paul went to Macedonia or Greece first. Look at the travels of St. Paul. See maps.

On 3 August 1903, the rebels captured the town of Kruševo and established a revolutionary government, proclaiming the Kruševo Republic – which was the first modern day republic in the Balkans. The Republic existed only for 10 days – August 3 to August 13, and was headed by president Nikola Karev.

The Macedonian language was created by the two brothers Saints Cyril and Methodius. Spoken by well over half of the Balkan nations. Is the Greek language this widely spread? I think not.

You may ask as to why the names of the cities is written in Greek. I ask the same question. Why in Greek? Why not in Macedonian? Because you are the ones that have brainwashed by the Greeks for hundreds of years and do not know any different.

Irefutable proof that Macedonia exist as a country and a nation.
Greece is country on its own as Macedonia should be.

Z Petrovski

An northern american country begining with the letter U. UNITES STATES comes to mind

I believe the issue with the slavic citizens of the FYROM is not an historical one. Behind the whole mess lies the irredentist plans against Greek territory. Decades of brainwashing resulted to have today these Balkan thugs of FYROM and their unmeasurable hatred against all their neighbours. Be it Greeks, Bulgarians, Albanians. Its a joke that some Slavs attempt to steal the identity and history of Greek people.
