Dear Bulgarian Brothers and Sisters,
Since 1965, I have interviewed over 150 people who are today euphemistically or diplomatically referred to by some as "Macedonian Slavs."
The aforementioned individuals were born (between 1867 and 1906) and raised in Aegean, Vardar, and Pirin Macedonia. I met some of them in the USA, Canada, and Western Europe. However, I talked with the majority of them while visiting my relatives in FYROM (Skopje), "Greek" Macedonia, and Bulgaria.
I would like to emphasize that each and every one of them identified himself/herself as a "Bulgarian" or a "Macedonian Bulgarian." The ones who lived in Vardar Macedonia and Aegean Macedonia discussed with me the nature of their ethnic identity cautiosly, preferring to do that without any witnesses. Some of these folks in advancing years apparently did not trust or feared their own kin! To my chagrin, many of the young identified themselves as "Macedonians" (in Yugoslavia) or as "Greeks" in Aegean Macedonia.
I am also saddened by the fact that the post-communist governments of Bulgaria have not exhibited so far any convincing signs that they are determined to launch a campaign aimed at awakening the Bulgarian national spirit of the denationalized or at least partially assimilated by Greeks and Serbs Macedonian Bulgarians.
Hopefully the brand new government of Bulgaria is not going to be brainwashed by the mantras of the globalists, internationalists, national-nihilists, and Western "well wishers" (closet Bulgarophobes) and will defend with dignity the Bulgarian National Cause. It is high time for Bulgaria to start defending the basic human rights of the ethnic Bulgarians living in the ex-Yugoslavia (including Vardar Macedonia), Greece, Turkey, Romania, etc.
Greetings to all Bulgarian patriots!
