Albania withdraws FYROM reference from government's website

[Risto the Great]

Top 10 languages in Australia and we don't exist here.
Spare me.
All done to appease the Greeks here in Australia. It won't continue much longer. There is a reason for this.

[Royal Hellas]

Of course you exist here.
Its just the identity label is still at the UN interim stage.
The sooner this is decided the better, don't you think?

[Risto the Great]

The UN Stage?

Yes the UN interim, although there is a hive of activity even as we type.

No buddy, our ethnicity and language is recognised as Macedonian in Australia. You're talking about the name of the Republic of Macedonia - but even if the Republic changed the ethnicity, language, etc ... we'd still be 'Macedonian' in Australia, because we have a right to self-determination and we'd take legal action against the Australian Government (note we have already done this, and won, hence the language is now Macedonian).

[Royal Hellas]

Could it be that taking the Australian govt to court is the reason they don't recognise the country as yet?

[Royal Hellas]

When the countries name changes, Greece will look at sorting out the language/ethnicity issues that will arise.
This will be stage 2 of the Macedonian question that is being played out here.

Liar. 12 hours ago you said all that needs to happen is for a name to be settled on. Now it will have a "stage 2". This is why you can't negotiate with dogs.

I'm really disappointed in Albania. What good reasons could they have for refusing to recognize the Macedonians ?

The name settlement will be the reference point on which the ethnic/language aspects (that have recently been added by the RoM government) will be referenced to.
The Interim agreement between both countries started with the name only, but this stage 2 including minorities has been placed on the agenda as well by the RoM.
Whats that about negotiating with dogs?

[Risto the Great]

Ethnic and language aspects have not been recently added by the RoM Government.
Prove one instance where this is the case.
Why do "dogs" keep suggesting that once the name issue is resolved, then the minority in Greece will be acknowledged? Why a "stage 2" after this acknowledgment?

[Rogi]

Pelister, they're doing it for their own interests.

They need the Greek parliament to ratify Albania's accession to NATO, so they are pandering to the Greeks until they have that ratification.

Royal Hellas,

What does the recognition of human and minority rights, including that of SELF-determination, of your OWN citizens, have to do with a dispute with a separate nation?

I'm sorry bout what makes you think these things are tied or should be tied?

Since when are Human Rights, conditional?
