Should Macedonia be worried?

After the recent military exercises by the Greek Army near the border with Macedonia, which ended in riots by the local ethnic Macedonian population whose crops were being destroyed, here is another provocation.



During a military parade in Solun (Salonica), and in front of several international officials, including the ministers of defense from the surrounding countries (excluding Macedonia), the Greek army shouted messages of hostility and hatred.

- Macedonia, you are a Greek land...
- Greek sons are waiting for a command...
- There's a place, called Macedonia, which we love a lot...
- Macedonians have Greek blood...
- We will not give the name "Macedonia" to Skopje...
- Macedonia is Greek...


So the question in Macedonia is: can Greece control its dogs of war? Should we be worried?
