FYROM* “By resolution A/RES/47/225 of 8 April 1993, the General Assembly decided to admit as a Member of the United Nations the State being provisionally referred to for all purposes within the United Nations as "The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" pending settlement of the difference that had arisen over its name”. --- http://www.un.org/Overview/unmember.html

It was communist leaders Tito and Stalin who renamed Vardarska/FYROM* to “Macedonia” in the 1940s and ordered a covert communist invasion of northern Greece in an attempt to occupy territory for the Soviet Union. Fortunately the US Marshal Plan saved Greece and its people. Former United States Secretary of State Edward Stettinius, Jr, said “talk of a Macedonian nation is unjustified demagoguery representing no ethnic nor political reality” and is “a cloak for aggressive intentions against Greece”.
Vardarska/FYROM* has made claims on the northern Greek province Macedonia with fabrications that the Greek Macedonian heritage is its own. Vardarska/FYROM* is using the name "Macedonia", it has renamed its principle airport "Alexander the Great", it used USA AID money to promote its claim on the Greek Macedonian Heritage and territory on the yahoo internet portal, and continues to this date to teach in its schools and military that its territory stretches as far south into Greece as Mt Olympus, and the three million Greeks who live in northern Greece are somehow Vardarskans who have been brainwashed to think that they are Greek. All this in direct violation with the binding UN agreements it has signed not to do so, thus prompting over 120 members of the United States Congress to introduce H.Res.356 asking Vardarska/FYROM* to stop its propaganda and abide by international law. The historical and unequivocally facts are:
1 Over 70% of the land of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia is part of present day Greece and has been for some 3000 years, long before the southern part of Yugoslavia decided to secede in 1991.
2 Pella, the capital of ancient Macedonia is in Greece.
3 Skopje, the capital of Vardarska/FYROM*, is outside of the ancient kingdom of Macedonia. Less than 20% of ancient Macedonia is within the borders of Vardarska/FYROM*.
4 The part of Yugoslavia which seceded in 1991 and wants to call itself "Macedonia" was called Vardarska and Pirin by its own people until the mid 1940's when the communist leader Tito in direct instructions from Stalin renamed it to "Macedonia" in order to gain an excuse to invade Greece and gain sea access to the Mediterranean for the Soviet Union.
5 The people of Vardarska/FYROM* do not speak Macedonian, they speak Slavic dialects of Bulgarian and Serbian. The true Macedonian's speak Greek. In fact there is no Macedonian language.
6 Thousands upon thousands of archeological Macedonian items excavated from the empire of Alexander the Great have only Greek inscriptions and writings on them furnishing concrete evidence that the Macedonians are Greek and their language is Greek.
7 More than 25% of the people of Vardarska/FYROM* are Albanians
8 Vardarska/FYROM* is actually the hard land of Dardania, which was the principle enemy of the Macedonians in the ancient times.
9 The former President of Vardarska/FYROM*, Kiro Gligorov said: “We are Slavs who came to this area in the sixth century ... we are not descendants of the ancient Macedonians" (Foreign Information Service Daily Report, Eastern Europe, February 26, 1992, p. 35).
10 Greece is the most important economic and political stabilizing force in the Balkans, and the biggest trading partner to Vardarska/FYROM*. Instead of thanking Greece Vardarska/FYROM* is stabbing it on the back.
11 The prime minister of Greece, Costas Karamanlis, was born in Macedonia and proudly proclaimed "I am a Macedonian and I am Greek"
The language of the people of Vardarska/FYROM* is a mixture of Serbian and Bulgarian and has no link whatsoever to the language of the Macedonian’s who spoke and speak Greek. A wealth in unprecedented numbers (over 5,000) of Greek inscriptions and engravings from archaeological excavations, which are found until today all over Greece and the territories of the former empire of Alexandros III (Alexander The Great) furnish concrete evidence that the Macedonians are Greek and their language is Greek.
The most recent authoritative assessment of the Ancient Macedonian dialect is provided by the eminent Emeritus Professor of the University of Paris, Olivier Masson, in the recent edition (1996) of “THE OXFORD CLASSICAL DICTIONARY” 3rd edition, 1996, Oxford U. Press, (Oxford, New York) pp. 905-6: “For a long while Macedonian onomastics, which we know relatively well thanks to history, literary authors, and epigraphy, has played a considerable role in the discussion. In our view the Greek character of most names is obvious and it is difficult to think of a Hellenization due to wholesale borrowing... Macedonian may then be seen as a Greek dialect, characterized by its marginal position and by local pronunciations. Yet in contrast with earlier views which made of it an Aeolic dialect we must by now think of a link with North-West Greek... We must wait for new discoveries, but we may tentatively conclude that Macedonian is a dialect related to North-West Greek”.
Slavists have for a long time used the term “Macedonian” in its geographical context, in order to describe a number of Southwestern Bulgarian dialects, spoken in the broader geographic area of ancient Macedonia. From the beginning of the 20th century to the 1940s, a series of international scholars have written on this subject: Tracts and scientific papers have been written by such linguists as V. Oblak (Macedonische Studien. Die slavischen Dialekte des suedlichen und nordwestlichen Macedoniens, Wien 1896), A. Mazon (Conte slaves de la Macedoine sud-occidentale, Paris 1923), A. Vaillant (“Le probleme du slave macedonien” In: Bulettin de la societe de la linguistique de Paris, 1938, No. 39, pp.195-210), A. Belic’ (La Macedoine, etudes ethnographiques et politiques, avec cartes Paris & Barcelone, 1949), A. Selischchev (Ocherki po makedonskoj dialektologij. Spb 1918, Sofia 1981. They all refer to the slavic dialects of Vardarska/FYROM* as Bulgarian.”
It is time that the world community refer the this state by a name appropriate for it based on history and geography.
1. Republic of Skopje - most people of that country live in or around this metropolitan area, which is also the capital of this country.
2. Republic of Vardarska - This the actual geographic name of the region in which this entire country resides, and was the actual name for this country used by the very citizens of that country until communist leaders Tito and Stalin in collaboration forced then to stop using it.
3. Republic of Dardania - This region is the heartland of the ancient kingdom of Dardania, a well know province of the Roman and Byzantine empires, and also referred to as such by ancient historians.
4. Republic of Pirin - Another geographical reference for the region in which this country resides. This reference is also in use to this date.
