------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Oct 18 00:16:57 +0000 2008 ------- According to the United Nations member states list at http://www.un.org/members/list.shtml the official name of the state that is called "Macedonia" throughout OO.org applications and documentation is the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). Please do not use the term "Macedonia" instead, as this also happens to be the name of a province in northern Greece. The choice of the name Macedonia by FYROM directly raises the issue of usurpation of the cultural heritage of a neighbouring country. The name constitutes the basis for staking an exclusive rights claim over the entire geographical area of Macedonia. It's almost like having a new state south of the United States calling itself Republic of California. For more details please read: What's in a Name? With Macedonia, Plenty! http://www.helleniccomserve.com/macedoniagilson.html Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) - The Name Issue (Hellenic Republic Ministry of Foreign Affairs) http://panmacedonian.info/FYROM_Hellenic_Ministry.htm Thank you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
