Dear members of the European Council,

We, the undersigned, urge you to stop the negotiations with F.Y.R.O.M. until their government adopts a name that does not include the word ’Macedonia’. Macedonia is now, and has always been, a region in northern Greece, and this is supported by all the historical evidence. Any other political entity’s attempt to have the word ’Macedonia’ as a part of their name is historically invalid.

The actual F.Y.R.O.M. has the right to be an independent country and have a name that corresponds to its true ethnic make-up, culture, and history. It has no right to claim things, people and events that the historical record has clearly established as Greek.

We, people respectful of true history, demand that F.Y.R.O.M. not be allowed to have the word ’Macedonia’ as part of their name in any way.
