Note: Since Karolos Papoulias took Tirana in 1986 during dictator regime until now, all Greek Foreign Ministers who have visited Albania, continue to consider the Greek Minority as "Friendly Bridge" between Tirana and Athens, nothing other even the human rights in Albania continue to be a slogan and instrument to manipulate the true inside another reality of Albania, member of NATO and candidate to joint EU.
