I don't know who was that foreign minister and if any such thing had been said.
Certainly though if any such thing was said, we don't have to go by him.

However it was only a few days ago where you had billboards in Skopia displaying the Greek flag with a swastica at the corner, and also pictures of prime minister Karamanlis dressed with a nazi uniform.

Have you ever heard about freedom of expression?
Probably the artist of that billboard Mr.Alexander Botev had bad memories from Greece. On the flag was also picture of his family that lived in Greece in 40`s and they had to leave their home back then to save their lives. Greeks now live on their property and his family didnt get a cent for their land only their lifes. Greek democracy rules

There are not that many of you in your own country.
You were the one who wrote:

"2) You cannot create schools from scattered individuals who may be claiming minority rights on the basis of being 0.0002% of the population, as it was revealed by elections in Greece.

3) There is no ethnic racism in Greece. There are close to 2,000,000 foreign people in Greece from all over Eastern Europe, Asiatic and African countries, most of them (90%) illegal alliens "

I just asked whats the minorities population count. Stop mincing your words.

According to *everybody* at the NATO summit, including Greece, Republic of Macedonia have met all requirements for ascension.

Yet, you have the nerve to say that their future is questionable.

If their future is questionable at this moment, it's because Greece vetoed them NATO membership, plan to object to the EU membership, and still mix in UN unresolved status.

Have the decency to accept this view, that the future of Macedonia is questionable because of Greek politics at present.

You can't walk over the fact that you are continuously creating obstacles for the poor tiny country.

Still, you can't walk over the bigger fact that you've broken NATOs unity with your move. 25 opposed you, not the majority, not the minority, all NATO present members opposed you.

However, I doubt Greece will be able to block Macedonia to enter EU. After all, you have no right to veto there.

Smart proposal, the news value moved into a partial flame and trolling.

Reader55 there were not 25 members that were opposed to us.
You only had 6 members which actually supported you, another 6 members of the alliance were on on our side, the rest were really neutral.
They all have to agree for you to get in.
Neither have we broken any Nato unity on your account, we have been in Nato for 56 years. You cannot join the alliance with such an intransigence before you even enter it.
What did you say? we don't have the right to veto you in EU? you are in for a surprise.

Now you can kill this topic, I've said basically what I had to.

I wonder if this has anything to do with your unbiased posts on this topic

"Plus they like us more than the Greeks.

Call it like I see it.

Well, it's all Greek to me.

To all those new members who've taken the time to create eleven pages of drivel, we generally like our new members to pop on over to the introduction thread, say hi, and tell us a little about yourselves.
