Macedonia History

  With genotyping, which we will publish soon, we managed to prove whether our ancestors were Slavs or ancient Macedonians. You can change history, but not your genes! You can, with various agreements, change the history textbooks, change the books, force historians to write according to the government's demands to change history, but you cannot change the genes and the blood that flows in our veins! Literally, the history of Macedonia flows in our veins. After the announcement of the results, all hypotheses about the origin of the Macedonian people should be closed and what we will claim should be made official. Even what we have so far as a result, will cause an earthquake among the Macedonian public, geneticist Dzundev says in an exclusive interview for Macedonian newspaper VEČER. Who is Dimitar Dzundev, the man the world knows about, but few in his native Macedonia? I was born in Gevgelija, where I completed my primary education, and then continued to secondary school in Skopje

 The people of Galičnik in Macedonia have always been unique in their customs, culture, tradition and genetic code. Galičnik is considered to be one of the oldest villages in the Mijak region, whose specific culture is still the subject of research. Five years ago, a study was made that carried out a genetic analysis of the residents of Galičnik. The research was recently carried out by Dr. Ana Momirovska, a specialist in medical biochemistry, completed a Masters in Pediatrics and Molecular Biology in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine in Ljubljana (Institute of Pathology, Department of Molecular Biology). - Similar studies have already been carried out at the institute in several villages in Slovenia, the colleagues have experience in carrying out population analyzes in order to obtain information about the origin. We communicated with our colleagues there and agreed to carry out a project to investigate the genetic origins of the residents of the former Galičnik. The idea was

In the early 1990s the attention of the Greek and the Macedonian communities of Australia was focused on the Macedonian conflict. The most burning issues confronting the two communities were the struggle of the Republic of Macedonia to gain international recognition under its constitutional name and the parallel, but somewhat less immediate, struggle of Aegean Macedonians to gain recognition from the Greek government as an ethnic or national minority. During this time conversations among Greeks and Macedonians in Melbourne inevitably turned to questions of identity. At weddings, soccer games, village dances and picnics they argued passionately and endlessly about whether they were Greeks or Macedonians, about what makes a person Greek or Macedonian, and about how people could ever know what a person's nationality really was.     Peter Savramis is a Macedonian, not a Greek.[17] He left his village near Florina and came to Melbourne in the early 1970s. Peter takes great delight

Originally published by Pollitecon Publications  Governments are not supposed to tell you who you are. That’s a job for your parents. But in Greece the government does tell you who you are, and if you disagree you are in big trouble and can be seen as an enemy of the state. As a person of Macedonian heritage whose family is from the Greek side of the 1912 modern day border between Greece and Macedonia, the Greek government gives me two choices for my identity. I can be Greek and claim direct descendants from the glorious ancient Greeks; or I can be Macedonian, but if I do that then I am not really a Macedonian as I have, according to the government, no connection to the ancient Macedonians and I am really a ‘Slav’, a ‘Slavic speaker’ and a ‘Slavophone’ whose predecessors came from a swamp somewhere in the Ukraine or Belarus, supposedly sometime in the sixth or seventh century. These are my only choices. Just as laughable is that there are academics, some of them self-confessed phi
