I think the exact opposite. Whats completely finished is the Ottoman era and it`s effect. It was over at 1913. On the other hand, current name issue is the continuation of the traumatic problems of Balkan war and the other events afterwards. These are definitely not finished at all. It`s problems are still here. If it would be finished like you say, then why would Greece demand a name change from ROM?

I say, get over with it anymore, ok? Uniting with a Greek and crying over the Ottoman era together with him wont make you any good. You don't have much left about from the 500+ years of Ottoman era anyway, except baklavas, bureks and few other stuff. You can even consider those as Greek heritage if you like, since some Greeks claims so.
It was completely over about 100 years ago and it has no relation whatsoever with the current problems between Greece and ROM. Also, there was no naming or territorial issues about Macedonia at all between 1370 to 1913. From Salonika to Kumanovo and Ohrid to Kavala, it was simply called Macedonia by the Turks and by the rest of the world.
In your message, you kinda imply that both Greeks and Macedonians are the victims of Turkish occupation and even the current name issue is evident because of Ottoman invasion!
Duh... Bash the Turk even for the death of Christ? Thats soooo cliche anymore
