[01] PASOK says 'no answer" to FYROM PM
Main opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou said on Tuesday that
there was no need to give an answer to a letter sent by the Former
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) leadership to Greek Prime
Minister Costas Karamanlis.
Commenting on a letter sent by FYROM prime minister designate Nikola
Gruevski to the Greek premier the day before, in which he attempted to
insert into the agenda of the talks demands relating to an alleged
'Macedonian minority' whose existence is not acknowledged by the Greek
side, Papandreou, who speking in an interview with the ET3 TV station,
Papandreou said:
"I consider that such kind of letters need no answer and, in essence,
are letters (sent) in order to create impressions, negative
impressions, to provoke a nationalism on both sides of the border,
without offering a way out, which exists. There is a way out and we
want a way out, we want the solution on concrete bases. A red line
which is one, composite, name, with a geographical qualifier for all
uses."
The main opposition leader added that "on this basis, there is the
United Nations Organisation, there is the possibility of cooperating,
something which is in the benefit of both countries. Because I believe
that Mr. Gruevski is offering bad services to his country and his
people."
Papandreou also referred, in his interview, to current internal
political developments.
