I'm treading lightly here because this is a sensitive subject, and I am somewhat personally involved [0]. But the discussion here is missing important history that shapes this problem that others casually dismiss as "silly". Please, educate yourselves on the history of this area before making flippant comments. You can't understand this problem without understanding the Greek Civil War and former Yugoslavia post WW2. The facts are disputed so rather than try to play historian on a subject on which I am biased, I encourage you to read the wikipedia page [1], and especially look for information regarding Slavic Macedonians, separatist groups that wanted to take Greece behind the Iron Curtain, and the claims made to a large chunk of territory within Greece by the separatists and by Greek communists specifically around the region we call Macedonia. Keep in mind that our current government openly calls itself the Radical Left Coalition. Reach your own conclusions about whether Greeks should consider this a silly matter.
