Alexander was born in what is now their territory. But he wasn't descended from Bulgarian settlers like the current inhabitants (who have lived there over a thousand years).

Not original Greeks, see?

So the Christianized Turks who inhabit modern Greece are pissed off at them for even claiming to be Macedonian.

[Cronos]

The current Greeks are not ethnically “Christianized Turks”

heck, even the modern day Turks have only about 5% TurkIC genes.

In recent anthropological studies, both ancient and modern Greek osteological samples were analyzed demonstrating a bio-genetic affinity and continuity shared between both groups. There is also a direct genetic link between ancient Greeks and modern Greeks.

Though one could also note a Greek genetic link in modern day Macedonians as well (a small one but not zero)
