Greeks have staged a mass rally in the capital Athens to protest against the continued use of the name Macedonia by a neighboring country of the same name. They say the use of the name implies a territorial claim on the northern Greek region of Macedonia. The protest came as ongoing UN-mediated talks between Athens and Skopje remain inconclusive.
