Face to face on FYROM
 Athens and Skopje diplomats to meet next month; mediator hopes for deal

Greece's dispute with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) over the neighboring country's name is «solvable» and a new round of direct talks between Athens and Skopje, under United Nations supervision, in January will aim to do just that, UN envoy Matthew Nimetz said yesterday.

EDITORIAL
Education alarm bells
 In normal circumstances, the alarm bells would be ringing, or at least someone would be paying attention. The fact that 15-year-old Greeks have given their worst ever performance among their European peers in reading comprehension, in mathematics and in the sciences has apparently not been deemed serious enough to elicit any comment from any minister.
COMMENTARY
Placating Turkey
 In what has become par for the course, the official visit by the Turkish foreign minister was accompanied by a military provocation. It appears that despite Ali Babacan's pro-European and relatively moderate profile, Ankara is sticking to its strategy. Even if the agenda of Recep Tayyip Erdogan's administration does not always coincide with the priorities of the deep state in Ankara, the basic parameters are the same.
