Who recognises the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia?

Answer 1

The name "FYROM" is the official name designated by the UN and used by all international organizations and all countries when participating in any international event or on the international stage.

For expediency there are 135 countries that deal bilaterally with the Former Yugoslav Republic by the name "Republic of Macedonia" the name the government wants to self identify by. However because the name violates Article 2 of the UNESCO Declaration on Cultural Diversity which states that in the interest of harmonious interaction, one nation (The Former Yugoslav Republic) in exercising its right to self determination, cannot diminish the equal right of another nation (Greece) to identify simply by its millennia old historical identity (Macedonia), the government of the FYROM signed an interim accord with Greece under the auspices of the UN to the use of the name 'Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" until it chooses for itself a name that suits its Slavic history and/or Paeonian/Dardanian geography and does not violate international conventions. So far it has not honored the agreement it signed.

The diaspora of modern-day ''Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia'' in conjunction with the government of the Former Yugoslav Republic have partially managed to gain support and bilateral recognition, mainly from the United States of America, by sealing a multi-billion dollar deal for a major pipeline construction that would link Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, F.Y.R.O.M. and Albania that would free Europe from the Russian monopoly. What is for the rest of the world to decide is: Are politics enough to re-write history?
