"Mr President, negotiations on FYROM start in a month. There is an outstanding question: the question of the name is still outstanding. They are claiming the name of Greek Macedonia. So we have to take certain initiatives after the failure of the American negotiator, Mr Nimitz. I therefore call on the European Parliament to go and ask those who are enlightened, to ask the professors; I call on you to go to the library and find out what language Aristotle, Protagoras and Democritus wrote in, what language Alexandra the Great spoke and for justice to be done at long last. We must not allow this to continue: the hijacking of a name which does not belong to them and of a history which does not belong to them either. This nation, this friendly nation, came to the area in the eighth century A.D. How can it claim the history of Macedonia, which dates back to the fifth century B.C.? We are calling for justice at long last. Do you understand? The truth is killing us. We want an initiative by the European Union. Europe must turn its attention to the issues on its own doorstep."@en1
