We cannot blame the Albanians entirely, the fault lies with the Macedonians. Remember on the first page of this thread I posted links to school textbooks published by the Macedonian government for Albanian students. Some things that I discovered were that Albanian students from a young age are taught:
1) The Albanian language (Macedonian is taught 4 years later in the 4th grade, only as a second language)
2) The history of Albania and the Albanian nation before Macedonian history
3) The Albanian national anthem before the Macedonian anthem
4) That Albania is their real mother country
5) Various symbols of Albanian statehood (flag, heroes, etc)
It's understandable that Albanian children who are raised in Albanian nationalist households will naturally become Albanian nationalists themselves in their adult years. BUT what about Albanian children who come from neutral families or families that are loyal to Macedonia or families who are not poisoned with nationalism? Well, after going through the "Macedonian education system", it is likely that these children will become Albanian nationalists, whether they wanted to or not. With the current education system in place, it is unpreventable, children are being brainwashed against Macedonia. The government is engaging in a national suicide!
