Facts,,,by Albanian press

SManalysis

Only with the intervention of former Foreign Minister Karolos Papoulias, Costa Fili was forgiven remaining years in jail.....Athens continues to be silent before the suffering of their families, by the Albanian dictator, only because they feel Greek.

"Applies to show with this case, two other facts, what the uncle of George Tenet, Niko Kacalano convicted to 25 years in prison, and the brother of Professor Nikolaous Stavru, Gregory Stavru, killed and missing from "Sigurimi", are not yet found the bones, of the Albanian dictatorship, although the U.S. State Department, has done the impossible to be found in graveyards and prisons of the dictatorship .."

It is only the tip of aizberg, for this story was, the Newspaper "Panorama" which published in a special edition, the words of a prison guardian of that time, indicating that for "Mandela" of Albania, after there was an Albanian citizen with Greek nationality. Escape from Albania to Greece in 1953, Costa Fili will return again in 1957, crossing the border illegally, to receive his mother, in Albania, but "Sigurimi" the secret Albanian police those times, captured him, and he, was convicted for the Plot of Northern Epirus, as the Navy's liaison with General Marine Group, Teme Sejko.

According to a special edition of "Panorama", Costa Fili, was sentenced to 25 years in prison, by performing the full penalty, and in 1979, it will be put back, after a new charge for "escape attempt". But changes in Albanian Greek relations after 1985, brought something new, even for ethnic Greeks living in Albania.

The former Greek foreign minister, Karolos Papoulias, actually the President of Greece, during a official visit in Albania before the fall of the dictatorship, led to the Albanian leaders to revise the penalty for Costa Fili. Tirana accepted this request and Costa Fili as leader 28 years in prison, was released from prison. All these facts prove correct that thousands of Greek community members who lived under the Albanian dictatorship, were imprisoned, killed, persecuted, for which ever, official Tirana has not said a word, being blamed that in dictatorships, All the people were the victims.

History compatible with writing the newspaper "Borba" of Belgrade, in 1989, stated that "in Albania, were killed, persecuted and interned and poisoned, about 25 thousand ethnic Greek", to which, Greece today, has been silent in the way embarrassing, and not taken any initiative to Tirana faced new charges of genocide.

Applies to show with this case, two other facts, what the uncle of George Tenet, Niko Kacalano convicted to 25 years in prison, and the brother of Professor Nikolaous Stavru, Gregory Stavru, killed and missing from "Sigurimi" , are not yet found the bones, of the Albanian dictatorship, although the U.S. State Department, has done the impossible to be found in graveyards and prisons of the dictatorship ..

That is, a much more severe charge, to prove, that are as tragic evidence of Costa Fili, the convicted "Mandela" in Albania, that Athens continues to be silent before the suffering of their families, by the Albanian dictator, only because they feel Greek.
