The "Journal Kept in Turkey and Greece in the Autumn of 1857, and the Beginning of 1858" By Nassau William Senior in page 32, there is a conversation between the author and a Frenchman who lived in Turkey where the author asked the Frenchman his opinion about the future of most regions, currently under Ottoman rule.
Its really interesting what the Frenchman who has already visited all corners of Ottoman empire says about the region of Macedonia.
Macedonia and Thessaly must OF COURSE BE RESTORED to Greece, from which they ought NEVER to have been divided. In fact, they would give themselves to Greece. Nothing BUT FORCE seperates them from THEIR fellow-COUNTRYMEN on the other side of he absurd frontier line which the protecting powers drew across Greece.
