Maloney Introduces FYROM Resolution WASHINGTON, DC – Today, co-chair and co-founder of the Congressional Caucus on Hellenic Issues Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Europe Robert Wexler (D-FL), Ranking Member of the House Subcommittee on Europe Elton Gallegly (R-CA), and fellow co-chair of the Hellenic Caucus Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) introduced a resolution expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) should cease its use of propaganda and work with the United Nations and Greece to find a mutually-acceptable name for itself.

“This resolution sends an important signal to the FYROM that concrete steps must be taken to eliminate the use of propaganda, including textbooks, that show a large portion of Greece are actually part of the FYROM,” Rep. Maloney said. “I would hope that the FYROM would meet the conditions established in 1995 that directed it to stop using these materials, and work with Greece to find a mutually-acceptable name for itself.”

Background:

Established in 1996, the Congressional Caucus on Hellenic Issues works to foster and improve relations between the United States and Greece. The Caucus brings a renewed congressional focus on key diplomatic, military, and human rights issues in a critical part of the world. The members of the Caucus introduce legislation, arrange briefings on current events, and disseminate information to interested parties. The topics on which the Caucus focuses include U.S. aid to Greece and Cyprus, the conflict in Cyprus, U.S. relations with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the status of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, and developments in the Aegean. In the 110th Congress, the Caucus has more than 120 members.

When it comes to the American government no one really knows what their motives are. This Congresswoman is probably looking for something to gain probably endorsed by some rich Greeks in the USA which is a good thing. But will she sell them out like Bush did for the Greek votes on the FYROM issue????
