[01] Leftist leader on FYROM name issue
[01] Leftist leader on FYROM name issue
Greece should try to achieve a solution based on a composite name
through UN-brokered negotiations over the name of the Former Yugoslav
Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), the leader of the Coalition of the
Radical Left (SYRIZA) grouping, Alekos Alavanos, said on Tuesday.
This name should contain the term 'Macedonia' and be mutually
acceptable to the two sides, he added, while noting that the issue of
FYROM's name was not a central foreign policy issue for Greece.
On domestic issues, meanwhile, he expressed his party's support for
subsidised heating oil for low-income wage-earners and pensioners,
especially residents in many areas of northern Greece.
