Ivanov: “We are waiting from Greece to Renounce its Inflexible Position”

FYROM’s President Gjorge Ivanov in his office, decorated by the old flag of FYROM with the Vergina Star. One of the many good-will “Contributions” of FYROM’s President to a mutually acceptable solution.

Despite Greece keeps showing willingness to consider a mutual acceptable solution, FYROM insists on proving there is no way, they will ever budged from their hard Nationalistic line.

The Nationalistic Government of Nikola Gruevski along with the President of FYROM, Gjorge Ivanov,  frequently make it more than obvious that good will is not in FYROM’s calendar.  Furthermore, they are  not going to move a single inch in order to resolve the name issue.

The recent statements of FYROM’s President Gjorge Ivanov were more than ironic. In a situation where Greece has unilaterally gone more than halfway on the issue in good will, where in stark contrast, FYROM has done exactly Nothing for the solution of the name issue, the president of the former Yugoslav Republic stated  in a recent interview,  “Greece has to renounce its Inflexible Positions”.

It has been more than obvious that FYROM’s intransigent and negative stance towards the efforts to resolve the Name Issue is the main factor that a mutually acceptable solution has not been reached so far.

FYROM’s leaders who have  remained inflexible with their hard-line nationalistic stance, refusing to any compromise and undermining the ongoing UN-sponsored discussions to settle the issue will have no other to blame than themselves, when in the end their own decisions  will have eventually condemned their own country to a permanent isolation.
