[02] ND slams SYRIZA MP on his FYROM statement
New Democracy said on Monday a statement by SYRIZA MP Makis Balaouras
that he wouldn't object to Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)
being recognized as "Macedonia" by Greece undermines the country's
efforts to negotiate a solution to the long-running name dispute.
"This undermines the national strategy line," ND said in a statement,
adding that Balaouras is not the only SYRIZA MP to have made such "and
even worse" statements on the issue "at a time when crucial negotiating
battles are underway".
The party also called on the prime minister and the foreign minister to
clarify their position.
