Freepen.gr - Ένα ιστορικό έγγραφο του υπουργείου Εξωτερικών των ΗΠΑ από το 1944 αναγνωρίζει πως η Μακεδονία είναι Ελληνική. Επίσης σημαντικό είναι ότι καταγράφει ένα σχέδιο βουλγαρικής προέλευσης με την υποστήριξη των παρτιζάνων του Τίτο και άλλων για την απόσχιση της Μακεδονίας από την Ελλάδα.
«Η κυβέρνηση αυτή θεωρεί τις συζητήσεις περί Μακεδονικού «κράτους», Μακεδονικής «πατρίδας», και Μακεδονικής «εθνικής συνείδησης», αβάσιμη προπαγάνδα, η οποία δεν έχει καμία σχέση με κάποια εθνική ή πολιτική πραγματικότητα, και διακρίνουμε στις προσπάθειες αυτές, κεκαλυμμένες επιθετικές διαθέσεις κατά της Ελλάδος», σημειώνει το επίμαχο έγγραφο.

The Secretary of State to Certain Diplomatic and Consular Officers
Washington
, December 26, 1944—10:00 a.m.
The following is for your information and general guidance, but not for
any positive action at this time.
The Department has noted with considerable apprehension increasing
propaganda rumors and semi-official statements in favor of an autonomous
Macedonia, emanating principally from Bulgaria, but also from Yugoslav
Partisan and other sources, with the implication that Greek territory
would be included in the projected state. This Government considers talk
of Macedonian “nation,” Macedonian “Fatherland,” or Macedonian “national
consciousness” to be unjustified demagoguery representing no ethnic nor
political reality, and sees in its present revival a possible cloak for
aggressive intentions against Greece.
The approved policy of this Government is to oppose any revival of the
Macedonian issue as related to Greece. The Greek section of Macedonia is
largely inhabited by Greeks, and the Greek people are almost unanimously
opposed to the creation of a Macedonian state. Allegations of serious
Greek participation in any such agitation can be assumed to be false.
This Government would regard as responsible any Government or group of
Governments tolerating or encouraging menacing or aggressive acts of
“Macedonian forces” against Greece.
The Department would appreciate any information pertinent to this subject
which may come to your attention.
