Excerpt from Kotzias' Speech in Greek Parliament (March 28, 2018):
"It is not right to say we are giving up the name Macedonia now. We are not going to a baptism, the child already exists and is named "Macedonia". They have called themselves a "Macedonian nation" for at least a century. And as "Macedonia" they assembled into a political entity 70 years ago."

Δεν είναι σωστό ότι το όνομα «Μακεδονία» πάμε να το δώσουμε τώρα. Είπα κάπου, σε μια ραδιοφωνική από τις σπάνιες, όπως ξέρετε, συνεντεύξεις μου, ότι δεν πάμε για βαφτίσια. Το παιδί υπάρχει και λέγεται «Μακεδονία». Αυτοί ονομάζουν τον εαυτό τους ως «Μακεδονικό έθνος» έναν αιώνα τουλάχιστον. Και υπάρχουν ως «Μακεδονία», συγκροτημένοι σε πολιτική οντότητα με διάφορες μορφές, πριν από 70 χρόνια.
