	Victor Roudometof - Nationalism and Identity Politics in the Balkans: Greece and the Macedonian Question - Journal of ...
		The particular context of the Greek reaction to FYROM's declaration of independence was rarely articulated in a manner that made it comprehensible to agents unfamiliar with the history of the region.
		According to Hayden (1992), FYROM's constitution is an example of the peripheral nationalism that caused the breakup of Yugoslavia; it clearly states that that the Republic of Macedonia is the "national state of the Macedonian people." Albanians, Turks, Serbs, Vlachs and other nonethnic Macedonian citizens belong to a separate "nationality" (Perry 1994a:83).
		FYROM's government, however, successfully defused the tension and is generally recognized as having dealt skillfully with the task of establishing state authority over a multiethnic population.

	Republic of Macedonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many nations and international organisations refer to the country as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), the term used in its admission into the United Nations, but many other states recognise it under the name it uses for itself.
		The issues of the flag and constitution were resolved in 1995 but the naming issue remains unresolved.
		Many countries, including Australia, Canada, and most member-states of the European Union, recognise it as the "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia", often abbreviated as "FYROM", while many others, including the United States, Russia, and the People's Republic of China), recognise it as the "Republic of Macedonia".

	[ALBSA-Info] Greece: The FYROM about-face. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		FYROM's Prime Minister Ljubco Georgievski has described this new situation as a "small miracle." After interethnic hostilities between Slav and Albanian Macedonians erupted in March 2001, Greece's government declared its support for the territorial integrity of FYROM.
		There was a positive response to this request, and a signing ceremony eventually took place on April 9, 2001, FYROM becoming the first country in the western Balkans to enter such an agreement, in part thanks to Greek intervention.
		As regards FYROM, and assuming that the Albanian insurgency is checked and a political settlement is reached, it should be understood that the small country's long-term viability will ultimately depend on the processes of enlargement of the Euro-Atlantic structures.

	The vision of "Greater Macedonia" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This second line did not outline today's FYROM, as one might have expected, but encircled the entire geographical territory of Macedonia to its extreme southern limit, that is, the coast of the Aegean Sea, the crest of Mt Olympus and continuing west to the Albanian border.
		Even though FYROM occupies only 37-38% of the territory shown on the map, a broad general image of their "fatherland" has been engraved on the subconscious mind of these children and young people.
		In conclusion, what the student of FYROM's new textbooks chiefly gathers from the history of the Turkish occupation is that the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 are not considered as having put an end to 500 years of foreign occupation, nor as having liberated Macedonia.

	THE FYROM AFFAIR
		FYROM was a tiny province of the now dissolved Yugoslavia, up in the mountainous sources of the Vardar.
		The Greek Government and its diplomats maintain that the new Balkan creation should be named as FYROM, until a shorter and agreed upon name is found for it, through the on-going negotiations sponsored by the UN for the last fifteen years, without any results.
		It can only hope that, with the resumption of the talks for a "proper name" for FYROM, its diplomacy will be "diplomatic" this time, persuading FYROM to accept a compound name, which may have the word "Macedonija," (spelled in the Slavic way).

		The military judge agreed with the government that the FYROM UNPREDEP deployment was an executive action and therefore a nonjusticiable political question, finding, under the doctrine of justiciability, that issues of the utilization and funding of the armed forces are beyond the consideration of military trial courts.
