A document reveals that Greek PM Alexis Tsipras had signed a joint statement with the President of France, Francois Hollande in Paris during the meeting of socialist leaders on March 12, where FYROM was referred to as ‘Macedonia’. The ‘de facto’ concession of the name ‘Macedonia’ without the use of quotation marks or asterisks in an official document is a grave political blunder by the Greek PM. The content of the official document was posted on the website the French Republic of Elysee and starts with a photo of the two leaders and clear mention of Macedonia referring to FYROM. The document shows that the Tsipras had agreed to a document where FYROM was referred to as ‘Macedonia’. It is not clear whether Tsipras had any consultants with him at the time.
