ATHENS, Greece — Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias has resigned following a disagreement with the defence minister over the handling of a recent deal which would change Macedonia’s name in exchange for Greece dropping its objections to the country joining NATO. Kotzias quit his post a day after a Cabinet meeting during which he reportedly had a heated argument with Defence Minister Panos Kammenos over the Macedonia deal and felt he didn’t receive sufficient support from colleagues or the prime minister.
