What are we counsellor at the Greek Both Mr. Cannis and Jim Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), introduced the bill in the House of Commons last Wednesday. The naming dispute carries significant historical baggage that dates back centuries, but re-emerged as a current issue following the break up of Yugoslavia in the 1990s when several independent states emerged. One of those wanted to call itself the Republic of Macedonia. But Greece has vehemently opposed the idea, saying it implies ownership of a Greek province of the same name. In introducing his bill, Mr. Temelkovski noted that numerous countries, including the United States, China and Russia, have recognized the state as the Republic of Macedonia. Speaking to Embassy last Thursday, Mr. Temelkovski said his bill was prompted by lobbying on the part of the Macedonian community, which includes about 1,000 members in his riding. He did not know what the chances of his bill being adopted were, but acknowledged objections within the Liberal caucus by some members of Greek descent. ”We haven’t had any discussions about it and I don’t think we need any discussions,” Mr. Temelkovski said when asked whether the Liberal party Lui Temelkovski greets Archimandrite Nikodim Tsarknias, a Macedonian Orthodox priest from Greece, who is had discussed the bill. “It’s just also a great defender of Macedonian religious and human rights in Greece and worldwide and for that has been an administrative point.” jailed numerous times by the Greek authorities However, he blamed the Greek lobby for Canada’s doing it discussing it here?” Embassy, said his government is Karygiannis seem to feel that the opposed to the bill.
