Of course!
In the archives in Ankara (Turkey) you have plenty evedences, you just have to search and look beyond your imagination:)
I have never read or seen documents that says "Macedonians Greeks":)!
BTW Ottomans were not soo "stupid" to put two nations together:)
But people can imagine and believe all kind of things....
Greetings from Macedonia!

so some distance as i understand Macedonia (Makedonija) with capital at 'Skopje' (Uskub), became a constituent republic of Yugoslavia (1946-1991). The others are Croatia (Zagreb), Slovenia (Ljubljana), Serbia (Belgrade), Bosnia-Herzegovina (Sarajevo) & Montenegro (Podgorica). After turning out to be autonomous 'Greece' which ahs a larger Macedonian province objected a neighbouring u . s . a . called by utilising the comparable call. This resulted interior the rustic named as FYROM (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia). section:25,433sq.km.; inhabitants: greater suitable than 2 million (1999).

Please give me the title of a contemporary book/article which states that. As far as I know, all contemporary sources only mention Greek Macedonians and Bulgarian Macedonians as ethnic terms, or "Macedonians" as a geographic term, that is, inhabitants of the area of Macedonia of various ethnic origins (Greeks, Bulgarians, Turks, Serbs, Jews etc).

Nice propaganda!
If you weren't so very much exaggerated in your claims, you would have probably be in EU now, like Bulgaria.
HISTORICAL FACTS;
After the Balkan Wars, Macedonia, like every other European territory of the Ottoman Empire was divided into the nations that had fought against Turks and against to each other to take those lands.
If it was FULL OF slavmacedonias,as you say, why there isn't a simple HINT OF THIS NATION in the treaties that were signed between Turkey, Greece, Serbia and Bulgaria after THE BALKAN WARS and the WW1 too?
IF MACEDONIA WAS FULL OF SLAVOMACEDONIAS WHY IT'S TERRITORIES -THAT ARE NOW PART OF GREEK COUNTRY- TOOK PART TO THE POPULATION EXCHANGE BETWEEN BULGARIA AND GREECE?????.....

Yes!
They called us Macedonians or Kauri (religion mark)!

It still is, because Macedonians are Greeks.
Also, during the Ottoman Empire the whole of the coast of Turkey was full of Greeks, Crete was full of Turks, and so on. What does that mean, that we should go back to that?

Very doubtful since it wasn't even called Macedonia until Tito. And there's always been a large Greek and Albanian population.

It was full of Greeks,Turks and Jews
There is not an ethnicity called Macedonians,and of course before Tito there wasnt ever mentioned that way....
