Here is the official Greek line.
This is essentially what they are telling Australian politicians behind closed doors, and Europeans.
Note: In this piece of propoganda the term 'Macedonian' denotes 'citizenship' to various natioanlities in the Republic of Macedonia, including Greeks and to 'Slavs', while in Greek occupied Macedonia it refers to 'ethnic Greeks'. A quick look at the history of the region in the last century clearly indicates that the Macedonians in the Republic of Macedonia are indigenous to the region, and natives, while the 'ethnic Greeks' of Greek occupied Macedonia are colonisers, deliberately planted in the region from various parts of the world, to conquer it.
This is an example of pure propoganda and identity theft in action.

"In the Republic of Macedonia the noun ‘Macedonians’ identifies in the legal and civic sense all citizens of the Republic of Macedonia (including Albanians, Greeks, Roma…etc, and in an ethnic/national sense, a million and a half local Slav- speaking population. In Greece the noun ‘Macedonians’ identifies in the regional/cultural sense almost two and half million ethnic Greeks in the region of Greek (occupied) Macedonia. In Bulgaria the name Macedonia identifies in a regional sense, hundreds of thousands of ethnic Bulgarians. These three variants of the noun 'Macedonian' are also in use in diaspora by persons who have emigrated from the three Macedonian regions, namely Greek Macedonia, FYROM and the SW Bulgarian region of Pirin." p.8 'Makedonia: A Greek term in modern usage'
