This important piece should be added to the article
If this doesnt get added, then it will look like pov. This piece adds to the argument and that why it is clearly essential: If anything it will only help get the reader closer to forming his own opinion, and in general adds evidence to the argument:
[Venko Markovski]], writer, poet and Communist politician from Macedonia, who in 1945 participated in the Commission for the Creation of the Macedonian Alphabet and once wrote in the Macedonian language and published what was the first contemporary book written in standardized Macedonian, stated in an interview for Bulgarian National Television only seven days prior to his death, that ethnic Macedonians and the Macedonian language do not exist and that they were a result of Comintern manipulation.[1]

RE: Markovski
Markovski's story is one of irony. He initially wrote in Macedonian, identified himself as an ethnic Macedonian and was a staunch Macedonian nationalist, and actively participated in the language commissions of the 1940s. After he was imprisoned a number of times because of his political agitations, he went on to renounce everything that came to define his life and career. Markovski is a disgruntled defector who turned to historical revisionism in an attempt to justify his defection. Markovski was an unreliable political figure and was also widely ridiculed in the-then Socialist Macedonia, but was hailed a national treasure in Bulgaria where he also made it big. So it's no surprise he did what he did. The funniest thing is that if the Macedonians are the "result of a Comintern conspiracy", then Markovski himself is also the "result of a Comintern conspiracy". --101.112.183.106 (talk) 02:37, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
According to the Macedonian historian Academician Ivan Katardjiev, Macedonian political activists, who came from IMRO (United) and the Bulgarian Communist Party never managed to get rid of their pro-Bulgarian bias and on many issues opposed the pro-Yugoslav leaders, who held most of the political power. Pavel Shatev and Panko Brashnarov send a petition to the Bulgarian legation in Belgrade protesting the policies of the Yugoslav leadership and were imprisoned. In 1948 on a meeting of the Central committee of the Macedonaian Communist Party Dimitar Vlachov claimed , the decision by the IMRO (United) from 1932 on the formation of Macedonian ethnos was a political mistake. He was gradually pushed out of his political positions from the pro-Yugoslav circle around Lazar Kolishevski. Markovski, who in 1945 participated in the Commission for the Creation of the Macedonian Alphabet, himself stated prior to his death, that ethnic Macedonians and the Macedonian language were a result of Comintern policy. Metodi Shatarov avoided organising mass armed resistance against the Bulgarian authorities in Vardar Banovina, and there are indications that he was killed by Josip Broz Tito's agents in 1944. Shatorov's supporters were at the same time eliminated by the YCP, and heavily repressed for their anti-Yugoslav and pro-Bulgarian political positions. According to Katardjiev, they all practically felt themselves as Bulgarians untill end of life. You do not have a sufficient knowledge of the subject. Jingiby (talk) 05:32, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
Why does this page even exist ?
Macedonia is a region of Greece, Slavic peoples and the Slavic language have absolutely no connection to the name Macedonia or the land/heritage of Macedonia.
So why does this exist ?
