The Ottoman census reflects only the religuious adherence of the population and nothing else  Exactly So what makes you think that using religion as the primary criterion of nationality is not the closest thing to the truth Maybe it is and maybe it isnt but neither you nor me are in position to decide that This is why in my version all criteria used in the demographies are explained in detail without deciding which is right and which is wrong and that my friend is what we call neutrality You might as well try and take a hint Nothing from the Turkish cencus proves nor implies that those Greeks were not Greek speaking The majority of Bulgarian population had never been adherent to the Patriarch of Constantinople Youre confusing yourself with the small Bulgarian or Slavicspeaking population which viewed itself as part of the Roman nation which had lost its mother tongue over time Therefore despite religion and language the greater part of the population of Southern Macedonia viewed itself as Greek or Roman if you prefer Then if we cant trust any demography think of the population exchanges  Greeks entered Greek Macedonia from Pirin Macedonia and some  Bulgarians left for Bulgaria Then some  Greeks enter from Turkey and suddenly we have some  million Greeks in Greek Macedonia Where did the other half million come from Mars Oh I know its a Bulgarian majority group that the Greek government is still hiding isnt that so And now think of the ludicrous numbers that youre trying to pass as the truth  million Bulgars in the entire of Macedonia and the assumption of another million in the south I mean use your brain for ones and do the maths  have you ever checked what the population of Bulgaria is today Honestly some people just cant take the truth And if neither of that convinces you then think of the GrecoSerbian alliance Would the Serbs have ever agreed with Greece occupying over half of Macedonia for itself unless that land was not primarily Greek Serbia was significantly stronger than Greece and in the search of Slavicspeaking lands to assimilate It would have never happened If you really want to do something to help your country I would advise you to go over there and offer your people some physical help I dont think that making nationalist propaganda of the internet is one of their priorities at the moment
