They are not brainwashed, opposition to Bulgarian identity existed even during the Ottoman times, check Sandanski for example. When Bulgarians oppressed them in WWII, it's reasonable to expect that any Bulgarian sympathies that might have existed disappeared.
Also, your original argument about Greece's allegedly justified insecurity was that all most of its neighbors invaded in the past, regardless of any name disputes, so I ask again:
Should France be worried about Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Belgium?
Switzerland can be scrapped. These other countries, yeah France should be worried about them, if these countries fall apart there will be less free money for them. They can, especially Itally, but Belgium as well.
