From a historical and archaeological point of view, there is some support in Skopje claims the name "Macedonia"?
Absolutely no support. The Skopjans are Slavs. But because they do not want to belong to Bulgaria, tried to create another ethnicity to differentiate themselves from Bulgarians. Since Macedonia was beside them, calling itself "Macedonians". But this is an argument completely unfounded and unhistorical.

But this is Greece we are talking about.
What a joke.
The support for the Macedonian cause is quite expansive. It ranges from historical to scientific.
This study referenced here http://macedoniantruth.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7878 is particularly powerful, as it demonstrates a genetic link between modern Macedonians and ancient Macedonian soldiers who sired the Pathan population of antiquity.
From a historical perspective, despite what the good professor claims, the Macedonians have identified as "Macedonian" long before today's modern Greeks have identified as Macedonia.
