Following months of heated debate, the Greek parliament is scheduled to ratify the Prespes Agreement reached last June.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">FYROM agrees to abandon &#8220;Republic of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/topics\/country\/macedonia.html\">Macedonia<\/a>&#8221; &#8211; the name it chose for itself when it declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 \u2013 and call itself North Macedonia. Greece agrees to lift its veto to North Macedonia&#8217;s membership in NATO and the European Union. A source of instability and ill feeling in southeast Europe is thus removed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>To the casual observer, an incomprehensible dispute has been resolved. Yet the compromise has brought political turmoil in both capitals.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\">In Skopje, social-democrat Zoran Zaev was soundly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2018\/10\/macedonia-future-uncertain-failed-referendum-181002115142668.html\">beaten<\/a> in a referendum on the deal; he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/europe\/2019\/01\/macedonian-parliament-agrees-change-country-190111175646383.html\">ratified<\/a> it in parliament by luring eight MPs from the nationalist VMRO party across the aisle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\">In Athens, the agreement has triggered two votes of confidence in the government over seven months and cost Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2019\/01\/greek-government-splits-macedonia-change-190113183705772.html\">junior coalition partner<\/a>, the Independent Greeks party.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\">His Syriza party is now a minority government, but the wily Tsipras is surviving by coaxing MPs out of small parties unlikely to return to the legislature should he fall and trigger a general election. He hopes for a larger majority on Thursday, but if necessary will use that precarious majority of 151 in the 300-seat chamber to ratify the deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"imagecontainer item\" data-image-url=\"http:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/mritems\/Images\/2019\/1\/23\/dea005263bdf4c7d948e58030283b7b5_18.jpg\">\n<table class=\"image\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody readability=\"1.5\">\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/mritems\/Images\/2019\/1\/23\/dea005263bdf4c7d948e58030283b7b5_18.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr readability=\"3\">\n<td class=\"caption\">A demonstrator holds a banner demanding Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to step down during a rally in Athens [Thanassis Stavrakis\/AP Photo]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>So widespread is opprobrium over the Macedonia deal that few Greeks believe Tsipras will be able to rule until his term ends in October.

Last year, both sides agreed to &#8220;Severna Makedonja&#8221;, or &#8220;Northern Macedonia&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>However, the same qualifier does not carry over to state attributes such as nationality and language. These remain &#8220;Macedonian&#8221;, and that has upset the Greeks.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>&#8220;If you give nationality, if you give the language, this is called identity. And we do not want to open the door to one of the states to have the right to monopolise the Macedonian identity,&#8221; says Syrigos. The Greek position is that once established, such an identity can create a basis for territorial claims.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>Naum Stoilkovski, VMRO spokesman, sees the identity issue in reverse. &#8220;You can&#8217;t rename all of Macedonia&#8217;s institutions, you can&#8217;t erase all that is truly Macedonian,&#8221; he tells Al Jazeera.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>&#8220;By this agreement, I couldn&#8217;t talk about Macedonian theatre. I need to talk about theatre of the Republic of North Macedonia. You can&#8217;t talk about Macedonia&#8217;s army. You have to talk about the army of the Republic of North Macedonia,. etc. That&#8217;s identity.&#8221;\u202f<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>The Prespes Agreement successfully adjudicated the naming of the state, which lies within the competence of international law; but questions regarding identity, which are a matter of individual conscience, lie outside its purview.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>Those in favour of the agreement on both sides admit that its success largely depends on good faith.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>&#8220;There is no better way to secure that they won&#8217;t become a pawn of foreign powers \u2013 Turkey or whoever \u2013 than to ensure that they become a very close ally and partner to Greece,&#8221; Says Ioannis Armakolas, professor of comparative politics in southeast Europe at the University of Macedonia in Greece.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"imagecontainer item\" data-image-url=\"http:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/mritems\/Images\/2019\/1\/23\/452d3a7c931a42cfaaaff354067ed548_18.jpg\">\n<table class=\"image\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody readability=\"2\">\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/mritems\/Images\/2019\/1\/23\/452d3a7c931a42cfaaaff354067ed548_18.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr readability=\"4\">\n<td class=\"caption\">The agreement on Macedonia&#8217;s new name was signed in the village of Psarades, Prespes Greece in June [Yorgos Karahalis\/AP Photo]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>&#8220;We will allow this country into NATO and we will help them join the EU and through this process we&#8217;ll become best friends.

Moreover, it provoked the Greek side.

In the Treaty of Bucharest, Greece got 51% of geographic Macedonia, Serbia 39% and Bulgaria 10%.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>In the years following, only Greece used the term Macedonia for its territory. Bulgaria called its part Pirin, and Serbia called its part South Serbia.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>Not until 1946, when the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was formed, was Serbia&#8217;s south named Makedonija, and it assumed a Stalinist ambition, articulated at the seventh Communist International in 1934, to create a &#8220;unified and independent Macedonian nation&#8221; by reuniting the Greek, Bulgarian and Serb territories carved up in 1913.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>Greece&#8217;s Communist party vigorously supported the idea. During the 1946-49 Greek Civil War, Yugoslavia supported Greek communists with arms and materiel in return for a promise that Greek Macedonia would be annexed to Yugoslav Macedonia.\u202f\u202f<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>US Secretary of State Edward Stettinius had recognised the communist threat in 1944. In a telegram to US diplomatic missions, he wrote, &#8220;This Government considers talk of &#8216;Macedonian nation&#8217;, &#8216;Macedonia Fatherland&#8217;, or &#8216;Macedonian national consciousness&#8217; to be unjustified demagoguery representing no ethnic or political reality, and sees in its present revival a possible cloak for aggressive intentions against Greece.&#8221;<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>Many Greeks believe that Tito weaponised Slav Macedonian identity as justification for expansionist designs and that this mentality cannot be erased from the new state&#8217;s DNA.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>It is easy to see why, when Yugoslavia broke up and the Republic of Macedonia was proclaimed, Greeks viewed the entire project as the reincarnation of Communist hegemony.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><span>If the naysayers are right, the agreement will collapse in mutual mistrust.
