2 million people demonstrating for a name!

I think that if the Macedonians would like to call their country Macedonia instead of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, they should be allowed to. It is their country after all. I can however, understand the Greek people’s frustration (2 million is quite a statement).

It is very complicated since the emotions of both populations are involved. And somehow it is as you say, tough to tell people what they are allowed to call themselves, though the choice of name is a bit sensitive.

Not easy to say what the correct outcome will be.

We shall see in a little bit what the outcome is.

The outcome shouldn't be far away. Erdogan stated he is in favor of FYROM, but on the other hand Erdogan is not the king of diplomacy these years.

I do believe that the most important thing should be to increase the quality of life for the citizens rather than fighting for a name. Many youngsters are leaving Greece these years.
