Cyril and Methodius: The Greek Apostles of the Slavs

Constantine (later Cyril) and Michael (later Methodius) were born early in the 9th century in Thessalonika into a senatorial family. The years of their birth are uncertain. Constantine, the older, may have been born in 826, while Methodius is believed to have been born in 827. Their father, Leon, was Drungarios of the Byzantine Roman Thema of Thessalonika, which position included the Slavs of Macedonia. Their mother is believed to have been Slavic. Being raised in an area with both Greek and Slavic speakers endowed the brothers with a good knowledge of the two languages. As befitting their family's position, they were well educated.

It's not only ancient historical figures that our northern neighbors are trying to appropriate, but also Byzanitne figures as well.

Suggest you do some research. Vaklavas was a sweet which was first mentioned in 345 BC, wait for it, did Turkey exist then? No. It was Athens. Possibly before that it was Assyrian. Also the coffee you talk of was Arabic not Turkish. Next you will say Loukoumi was Turkish! Just because the Ottoman Sultan liked something does not make it Turkish.
