Karamanlis je izjavio kako Atina nema namjeru raspravljati o takvim pitanjima, za koja on kaže da spadaju van opsega tekućih napora na rješavanju dugotrajnog spora oko naziva između Grčke i Makedonije.
Karamanlis has said Athens has no intention of discussing such issues, which he says fall outside the scope of ongoing efforts to resolve the long-standing name dispute between Greece and Macedonia.
