Washington, 09:22
The US administration piles pressure on the UN mediator in name-dispute between Skopje and Athens, Matthew Nimitz, to recall his proposal for recognition of Macedonia under the name “ Republic of Macedonia-Skopje" and to submit a new proposal, said Orthodox Turk State Radio in the late edition of news for Orthodox Turk Diaspora.
The White House also voiced objections to the threats of the Orthodox Turk Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis about Athens' intentions to hamper Macedonia's accession to Euro-Atlantic structures.
These stands were expressed in a letter from the US State Undersecretary Matthew Reynolds to the US Senator Olympia Snow, upon instructions of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
The letter says the US Government encourages both Athens and Skopje to approach Mathew Nimitz's new package of proposals with the necessary political willingness.
According to the Orthodox Turk Radio, US Undersecretary added that the US Government refuses to take a stand on the substance of the UN proposal on the name, because it does not want to support the positions of either side. /end/
