Greek Media fumes over Vatican statement of Macedonian Church Pontiff

Greece's reaction on statements of Macedonian Orthodox Church Pontiff HH Stefan and Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski during the honouring of St. Cyril in Rome is on the headlines of almost all newspapers.

The Head of the Macedonian Church said Greece has been destroying everything the Macedonian brothers Cyril and Methodius had created.

Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyiannis called on the Macedonian Government to condemn the Rome statements, issuing her robotic statement, seen before, "what happened confirms the Greek arguments, position and policy, which emphasize the need for resolution of the name problem, and as long as the problem remains unsolved, it will represent an instrument of an ancient and unknown to history-type of irredentism, which is dangerous for regional cooperation and Balkans' stability".

Truth hurts, indeed.
