THE ALBANIAN NEWSPAPER MENACES GREEK ORTHODOX COMMUNITY

The Albanian newspaper “SOT” comments an article about the “Mort Ceremony” of Archbishop of Greece Kristodoulos, under the title: “The Greek archbishop Kristodoulos buried as the spiritual general of Greek Army, such where Khomein of Iran”

The article which represents a “manifest of Albanian extremist media” comments the great figure of Archbishop Kristodulos during the mort ceremony, accompanied by Hellenic Army Troops. Inside the article, the comment offended the history of Greek Orthodox Church and the spiritual indication with Hellenic people and Greek army. Other alls the article referred the Archbishop of Albania Janulatos, named “The Greek Army General in head of Albanian Orthodoxy” since he has come in the Albanian territory in 1991. This ceremony was a military religious spectacle which removes the Greece by NATO alliance” wrote the article.

In the end, the article calls all the Albanian orthodoxies to be united with Albanian people not to joint the Hellenism strategy which wants to conquer historically Albanian territories. The article menaces the Greek orthodox Community evoking and calling the orthodox of Albania to be united with the Albanians not with Greeks because this adventure “should have the consequences of Greek community in Anatoly of Turkey after the First World War”.

By the Albanian Government has not any reaction about article even the measures and security of Greek community is not guaranteed by authorities. (?) NATO with 1200 troops installed in Albania is insufficient to control the Albanian paramilitary and extremist groups most of them are member of Special Forces.

Annyway the article of “SOT”does not represent the "friendly relations" between Athens and Tirana even the newspaper some times has been object of accuses against many personalities of albanian VIP society. The rethoric used by newspaper “SOT”, must take in consideration by Europol and NATO security forces which are working togather with albanian authorities for stability, security and the war against terror and organized crime of our region and particulatly for cooperation to joint albania in NATO and EU alliance.
