MHRMI Applauds Canada's Recognition of Macedonia's Constitutional Name - Press Release
Macedonian Human Rights Movement International - Press Release
Toronto, Canada - Macedonian Human Rights Movement International (MHRMI) thanks the Canadian government for its recognition of the Republic of Macedonia under its constitutional name.
"This will lead to greater stability in the Republic of Macedonia, the Balkan region and for the Macedonian minority in the neighbouring countries. Greece has objected to Macedonia's name as part of its policy of non-recognition and persecution of its large Macedonian minority. Canada is once again proving its leadership in the field of human rights" said MHRMI president Bill Nicholov.
