In Pictures: Greek ‘Name’ Protesters Scuffle With Police

Several hundred Greeks protested in Athens and Thessaloniki against the recent agreement with neighbouring Macedonia over its name.

The daily Kathimerini reported that police in Athens used tear gas to disperse the protesters while the rally in Thessaloniki saw minor scuffles between protesters and police as police forced the protesters to gather at the central Aristotelous Square instead of in front of the White Tower monument.
