About 4,000 ethnic Macedonians from throughout Australia protested today in front of the parliament in Canberra over the government's position on the name of Macedonia.
The Australian government decided to refer to the Republic of Macedonia with the initials "FYROM /Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" which is an affront to all Macedonians worldwide.
The protest rally was organized by the association "Alexander's Ancestrals" and the Association of the Macedonian Communities in Australia.
