Protestors wave Greek flags outside parliament in Athens, Sunday, Jan. 20, 2019. Greece’s Parliament is to vote this coming week on whether to ratify the agreement that will rename its northern neighbor North Macedonia. Macedonia has already ratified the deal, which, polls show, is opposed by a majority of Greeks. (Thanassis Stavrakis/Associated Press)ATHENS, Greece — Greece’s parliament on Monday started debating a historic agreement aimed at normalizing relations with Macedonia, a day after violent demonstrations against the deal erupted in Athens. The deal was being debated Monday in the Greek parliament’s committee on defense and foreign policy, coming under strong criticism from opposition parties that say it concedes too much to Macedonia.
