Ok , lets say that a small orphan boy that does not know his name decides to make a new name for himself. He has the right to choose any name he wants no one can refuse that. So the boy decides to call himself Donald Trump!!!!! Does that give him the right to to the bank and get Donald Trumps money? Just because they have the same name?
Thats whats going on with Fyrom and Greece,and the Fyromians trying to take our history.

Furthermore, there are no significant geographical barriers that could have divided the populations of Paionia and Macedonia. On the contrary, there is a Vardar river valley, that stretches from the north of the contemporary Republic of Macedonia, all the way to Kentriki Macedonia, where it mouths into the Aegean sea, near Thessaloniki.
That would mean that the ancient populations from this area have lived next to each others for generations, and it would be reasonable to conclude that they have, like many contemporary neighboring populations, shared a certain degree of common ancestry.
To tell you the truth, your map seems to be quite accurate.
