馬其頓以對鄰國希臘的友好姿態將其前身為亞歷山大大帝的國際機場改名。
負責該機場的土耳其財團TAV於XNUMX月份刪除了標明古老戰士國王姓名的三米長字母，並在星期二用“斯科普里國際機場”一詞代替了該字母。
希臘和馬其頓數十年來一直以前南斯拉夫共和國的名義發生爭執。
雅典說，這意味著對自己北部同名省的領土主張。
馬其頓以前的保守黨政府在亞歷山大建立了許多紀念碑，並以亞歷山大命名了其主要公路和機場，這激怒了希臘，希臘將其視為對自己古老歷史的篡奪。
從這篇文章可以得到什麼：
- Macedonia's previous conservative government erected a number of monuments to Alexander and named its main highway and airport after him, infuriating Greece which saw it as a usurpation of its own ancient history.
- Turkish consortium TAV, which operates the airport, removed the three-meter letters spelling out the name of the ancient warrior king in February, replacing them Tuesday with the words ‘Skopje International Airport'.
- Greece and Macedonia have been at odds for decades over the former Yugoslav republic's name.
