excelsaga666, what do you actually know about Thracians and in particular about
Thracian tribes?! Did you know that modern day Bulgarians are the descendants of
the Thracians? Did you also know that northern part of modern Greece was called
Aegean Thrace and these territories were part of Bulgaria just 80 years ago? Are
you an American btw, so I can stop bothering about your "knowlege"?

Not in the regions of thrace that correspond to Bulgaria,Turkey,Fyrom or
anywhere else.Thus they have not even a geographical "excuse" to make such
claims.
