The interim accord was signed under the auspices of the United Nations, with Greece compromising and agreeing to the temporary use of "Macedonia" with the qualifier "Former Yugoslav Republic by the new Slavic Republic, and the Republic of Former Yugoslavia agreeing to the name FYROM while it chooses a permanent name for itself that does not violate Greece's equal right to identify by its historical identity and that does not imply a territorial expansionist agenda on Greece's historical northern province.
However, instead of honoring its agreements, the former Yugoslav Republic stalls on deciding on a name for itself, continues to violate the interim accord and Article 2 of the UNESCO Declaration on Cultural Diversity by identifying itself only as "Macedonia", relentlessly creates a flood of Propaganda, misappropriates Hellenic state symbols, and demonizes and distorts the history and historical perception of Greece. The government of FYROM, and its Diaspora continue to provoke Greece and meddle in Greece's domestic affairs.
