you are spot on leladax some with a strong fyrom pov around here argue that 'republic of macedonia' is the only official name in use and wish to lock it in at wikipedia while true many nations and ngo's have chosen in the interim to use republic of macedonia all nations in principle agree to honour whatever name fyrom greece can hammer out when it comes to wikipedia itself all names should be used if npov was actually being observed especially since the dispute is still ongoing many countries around the world still officially use fyrom including even the us which still uses both names at times the us senate resolution last year condemning fyrom actually used the fyrom name what i really think is missing from the article is that technically speaking fyrom is currently in breach of at least a few of its original un brokered terms with greece this incidentally is exactly why i the why the us government passed the resolution last year condemning fyrom for breaking terms why the greek government vetoed fyrom's recent attempt at nato membership and why it will probably veto eu membership as well agreement violation fyrom was supposed to stick to fyrom for external use fyrom citizens are now trying to be recognized exclusively as republic of macedonia even though in article of the original un brokered agreement which their own leaders signed specifically states the party of the first part reserves the right to object to any membership referred to above if and to the extent of the party of the second part is to be referred to in such organization or institution differently than in paragraph of the united nations security council resolution which is still be fyrom i believe agreement violation refrain from propaganda against greek cultural heritage and territory article and of the un agreement between greece and fyrom state each party shall promptly take effective measures to prohibit hostile activities or propaganda by state controlled agencies and to discourage acts by private entities likely to incite violence hatred or hostility against each other if either party believes one or more symbols constituting part of its historic or cultural patrimony is being used by the other party it shall bring such alleged use to the attention of the other party and the other party shall take appropriate corrective action or indicate why it does not consider it necessary to do so the article should probably include a few real world examples to show the complaints are very real i myself recently heard someone from fyrom claim aristotle was actually slavic on a forum but there are literally thousands of examples of irredentist behavior to be found a small subset of some recent examples that seemed relevant verifiable and seemingly demonstrate the argument beyond the abstract there exists a steady stream of fyrom supporters on the alexander the great article history page claiming alexander wasn't greek top ranked fyrom websites almost universally are writing revisionist histories that suggest alexander was not greek quote taken from the website contrary to modern greek claims macedonia was never part of greece and the ancient macedonians were not regarded as ancient greeks current fyrom prime minister welcomes pakistan macedonian prince ghazanfar and uses it as proof of their ancient macedonian roots that one really made me cringe considering not so long ago everyone was being assured by fyrom leadership ' we are slavs who came to the region in the sixth century we are not descendants of the ancient macedonians ' kiro gligorov fyrom's first president ' we are not related to the northern greeks who produced leaders like philip and alexander the great we are a slav people and our language is closely related to bulgarian there is some confusion about the identity of the people of our country ' gyordan veselinov canadian ambassador to canada in interview to ottawa citizen in incidentally both quotes appear extremely relevant to the article i tried to add them myself to the article but they were removed without justification you are welcome to try part of the fyrom diaspora engaged in alleged human rights march recently where large banners were present defacing greek flags with nazi swastikas and others ones saying solun with be the capital of macedonia agai
