Macedonia region - Demographics
As a frontier region where several very different cultures meet, Macedonia has an extremely diverse demographic profile. Greeks form the majority of its population, living almost entirely in Greece. The second largest group of people in the region are the Macedonians, a Slavic people who form the majority of the population in the Republic of Macedonia. There is a small 3,000-strong Macedonian minority in the Bulgarian region of Blagoevgrad, which is otherwise known as Pirin Macedonia. The number of Slavic Macedonians in Greek Macedonia is disputed, as Greece's censuses have not included the criteria of nationality and mother tongue since the 1950s. However, Human Rights Watch released a report in 1994 estimating 100,000 - 200,000 people of Macedonian decent in the region.
The identity of the Macedonians is a hotly disputed question in the region; most Greeks oppose their use of the term "Macedonians" and Bulgarians and Greeks alike consider them to be a subset of another people - the Bulgarians. This issue is discussed further in the article on the Macedonians (ethnic group).
The other two major ethnic groups in the region are the Bulgarians, who represent the bulk of the population of Pirin Macedonia, and the Albanians, who are the majority inhabitants of the western and southwestern parts of the Republic of Macedonia and make up 25% of the population. (From CIA World Factbook)
Smaller numbers of Turks, Bosniaks, Roma, Serbs, and Vlachs may also be found in Macedonia.
Most of the inhabitants of the regions are Christians of the Eastern Orthodox rite (principally the Bulgarian Orthodox, the Greek Orthodox and the Serbian Orthodox Churches, as well as the unrecognized Macedonian Orthodox Church). There is, however, a substantial Muslim minority – principally among the Albanians, Pomaks (Muslim Bulgarians), Bosniaks, and Turks.
