The Pan-Macedonian Association of the USA in a duly convened meeting at its 60th National Convention held on June 29 to July 2, 2006 in the city of Las Vegas, NV, USA, decided the following:

1. We are deeply disappointed and strongly oppose the unfortunate decision of our US Government to recognize The FYROM by the name of "Republic of Macedonia"

2. The Pan-Macedonian Association requests from the Greek Government, the Political Leadership of Greece, the United States Government, and the rest of the International Community that the final agreed upon name of the country of The FYROM, should clearly differentiate the residents of that country from us, the Macedonians.

3. The name Macedonia is undoubtedly a historical and cultural heritage of Greece. The history of Macedonia and particularly its name are NOT NEGOTIABLE and as a paternal legacy cannot be given to third parties.

4. We expect that the permanent name of the country of The FYROM shall express its multiethnic nature and shall permit all its inhabitants to co-exist peacefully.

5. We shall not accept, for the country of The FYROM, any name that will include the term Macedonia or any of its derivatives.

6. We demand that the people of Hellenic origin residing in The FYROM and Albania be accorded all their human rights.

7. Historically the Macedonians are Hellenes.

8. Our Macedonian conscience and identity is not a matter of foreign policy under any stretch of its definition.

9. It is our sacred duty to continue our struggle for the rights of Macedonia. History demands it.
