First of all, it's obvious that there is a distinction between Greece and Macedonia back in the late 1800s, written in a well-respected document of that time.
Greece has always accused Bulgaria of an attempt for Bulgarisation of Macedonia. This is where the whole argument of Greece lies. They have effectively instilled in the minds of the Macedonians living now in Greece, that their whole thinking was just an attempt of Bulgaria to take over the place, backed up by Russia: "You are not Macedonians. You're just victims of Bulgaria's expansionist policy." Yeah, tell that to my grandparents.
.... nor with any other neighbouring christian races.
The only christian ally to Greece in the area has been Serbia, to the best of my knowledge. They both allied against Bulgaria to take as much as they could.
