- Nobody is bringing up any Macedonian ethnic group except for the Greeks. The
- Macedonians who want their own country are simply that - Macedonians. Then, on
- the other side of the border are the Greeks who call their province by the
- same name. If they wish to call themselves Greek Macedonians it is their
- privilege but I thought they wanted to basically be Greek and not Macedonian.
- It should be one or the other.
