my cydonia was and ethnic mosaic in which greeks were one major group and nothing more than that i think the deal is an honest compromise and this is why it has attracted so much opposition in both countries the greeks often point out yes the broader region of macedonia the former awesome and pires of ministers of region which was divided in three between what was then southern serbia and is now the former yugoslav macedonia and greece and bulgaria was indeed made up of many many different peoples but they also say what greeks also points out in their own defense this is the balkans this is the only area of europe where wars have up until recently up until nine hundred ninety nine changed borders and therefore there is reason for the greeks to worry what you say but i think that some of worries in recent years particularly during the time that nicola grew askew

was the prime minister in macedonia were justified there where quite a few indications of potentially dangerous and dangerous irredentism and revisionism that could conceivably threaten the country's greece's territorial integrity but then again this is exactly what this deal is tackling i think that this deal along with a number of other factors in the future neutral corporation i said during the ns admission to the super national institutions of the region. all that will cause these threads will these pieces see feds to fade away so that is the hope and that is the main argument of the government here that this agreement may not seem ideal now but it is an agreement that will at least put this fight to rest ten years from now no one room will remember it so i tell me the ice is there enough. susan
