> I don't know why Greeks are so paranoid

I think during the Greek Civil War the National Liberation Front which was composed of Macedonian Slavic minorities waged a war of secession in Macedonia. If I remember correctly I read allegations that even after the civil war the National Front based in Yugoslavia would kidnap and impress young men from Greek Macedonia.

They aren't remembered fondly by Greeks.

Nah, that was basically some kind of a communistic conversion that didn't have enough impact on Greeks. Civil war was actually a proxy war between Russia and UK/USA, countries that participated and helped the Greek communist party were Russian puppets.
