GalaicoActually tankistabg believes the Bulgarians are a homogeneous people of Iranian stock, when the truth is that ancient Bulgars (which don't represent more than 5% of the genetic pool of present Bulgarians) were a people of Turkic stock, and that current Bulgarians don't differ much in genetic terms from their Balkanic neighbours.
So, looking at his ignorance on his own people, how can he be taken seriously when talking about other people and countries?

Galaico, I will be quite happy , if you show us some proof about the fact that ancient bulgars represent not more than 5% of present bulgarians.It's debatable as well that they are of turkic origin.As for the macedonians, for more than a thousand years they have called themselves bulgarians, why the last fifty years they choose to call themselves macedonians.It's a bit strange? Don't you think so? And maybe somebody else help them to change their mind? Crvena zvezda may tell us more about this.
I don't think that their is any ancient macedonians' blood present in the veins of the nowadays ones.At the time when the slavic tribes arrived on the balkans, the macedonians were long time hellenised and they were (all the greeks) the enemy .So i don't think they mixed in any way.It's unknown if the thrakians had been hellenised. But if so, probably the slavic didn,t mixed with them as well.
