The Macedonian Holocaust Museum was damaged in a spurt of violence that erupted over the weekend in the country’s capital of Skopje, the Sitel Website reported.

The hostilities erupted when police used tear gas to break up a demonstration by ethnic Albanian youth in support of newly-named Defense Minister Talmut Xhaferi, a former leader of Albanian guerillas who fought government forces in 2001, according to China's Global Times.
