this is the accepted geographical boundary of Macedonia
both fit inside

actually with the acceptance of the name ..north Macedonia, ....................greek macedonia , the province should be renamed south macedonia, to avoid confusion ...like as an example
Tyrol represents all 3 regions of tyrol
even though north-tyrol and east-tyrol are in austria and south-tyrol is in italy
.
Less confusing if Macedonia is represented as the geographical region as per the link I attached
The FYR of Macedonia (to become North Macedonia) is the North Macedonian region depicted by a German historian in the 19th century, during the late Ottoman Empire. This geographical concept stuck for the last few centuries. However, it doesn't correspond to the historical region of (classical) Macedonia. This is almost in its entirety in Northern Greece.
That aside, I was supporting this agreement, not because it is historically accurate, but rather because I think that it will be good for the relations of both nations on the long term. And by that, I mean in a span of decades.
