HUNZA ROYALS VISITING MACEDONIA
National.
Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski welcomed Friday a high delegation, led by Prince Ghazanfar Ali Khan and Princess Rani Atiqa of the Hunza people, who are self-proclaimed Macedonians and descendants of Alexander the Great.
Gruevski expressed satisfaction with an establishment of ties between the two peoples, as well as Macedonia's readiness for further boosting of the relations and cooperation in all spheres of mutual interest, the PM's Cabinet said in a press release.
Gruevski also informed the high guests on political, economic and cultural developments in Macedonia, as well as about the country's efforts to join the European and Euro-Atlantic institutions.
I am honored to be in my country Macedonia, the Prince said, pointing out that Hunza people are proud to be the descendants of Alexander the Great.
The princely state of the Hunza is currently part of Pakistan, former Persia, and the place of their residence is, according to historic data, the most eastern point of the kingdom of Alexander of Macedonia.
The high Hunza delegation is also scheduled to meet Archbishop of Ohrid and Macedonia, HH Stefan, and Skopje Mayor Trifun Kostovski.
Moreover, the delegation will visit sites and towns throughout Macedonia, as well as attend the renowned Galichnik Wedding. The Hunza visit is organized by Macedonian Institute for Strategic Research 16,9.
MD: Welcome to Macedonia! This is wonderful! Why aren't they visiting Greece, but Macedonia instead? ;)

I can see that there are no comments from Greeks on this post. It's clear why - because they don't know what to say on this. The Hunza prince and princess came to Macedonia and not Greece. They came to the one and real Macedonia.

Hunza: "Their language, Burushaski, provides linguists an enigma as it is unrelated to any other language known to man", therefore no conenction to Indo-European, and of course no linguistic connection to the Greek speaking Macedones of Philippos and Alexandros. Slav speaking and Burushaski speaking "Macedonians"? How about some Chinese speaking tribes in Italy?

Guys, when will you stop humiliating yourselves? DNA research proved Hunzas and Gypsies group together. Now, as you are Slavs, you can't be Gypsies or Hunzas and vice versa.
"The Sinte Romani, or Gypsies, group with the Hunza and Bartangi (from the Pamir region of Central Asia) populations in our tree. This finding is primarily due to the M124 haplotype, which is present at high frequency in all three populations. M124 is not found in Eastern Europe, where the Sinte Romani lived before being resettled in Central Asia in the 1940s. It is, however, common in Central and Southern Asia. Thus, the Y-chromosome results provide clear genetic evidence of a link between the Gypsies and their Asian kin."
