Demonstrators in Greece gathered Sunday to protest a deal that would normalize Greek relations with Macedonia.
Greeks have been divided over the deal, in which Macedonia will change its name to the Republic of North Macedonia and Greece will drop its objections to the Balkan country joining NATO and the European Union.
Sunday’s demonstration in Athens drew 150,000 or more participants.
Greek protesters say Macedonia’s new name represents an attempt to appropriate Greek identity and cultural heritage. Macedonia is the name of Greece’s northern province made famous by Alexander the Great’s conquests.
