Our American ancestors before 1945 were Macedonian and identified as “Macedonian Bulgarians” or “Bulgarian Macedonians” to distinguish themselves from the other ethnic groups in Macedonia. Before World War 2 “Macedonian” was not an ethnographic, it was a geographical term and the majority of Macedonians before 1945 identified as Macedonian Bulgarians, reads an address to the US Congress by the Macedonian Patriotic Organizations in USA.  

The address comes in response to Skopje’s attempt to pass a resolution in Congress on celebrating the “Macedonian identity”, different from the Bulgarian identity. The document is signed by the member of the Macedonian Patriotic Organizations leadership Nick Stefanov, BGNES reports.
