True. I was saying that the Greek campaign against the Macedonians is so on such a scale, and so systematic - it can't just be about a land grab, or holding onto it. I was just making a point that what might be behind this systematic campaign, is that the Greeks know (and on some level), believe we are the descendents of the ancient Macedonians, or that they know that the ancient Macedonians were Slavic speakers, or something along those lines ...
I think you are right about them knowing that we are truly something they wish to become. Here is some more from the above link.
Polish authorities in close cooperation with the Organization of Political Refugees from Greece imposed limitations upon the schooling for Macedonians and successfully prevented them from creating their own organization which could be finally founded and officially recognized as late as 1989. There were also obstacles in access to literature in Macedonian and the Macedonian version of the Greek-language paper Dimokratis ceased to appear in the 1960s. Shame on Poland
