Sir

With the population census in Albania leans a chapter in the history of Northern Epirus and opens another.
Especially for the District of Korca Albania finally gets 70 years trying to eliminate the Greek minority in the region, since the census of approximately 30,000 people declared Greeks.


Now begins the struggle for recognition as a minority in Korca region.
It's time again to open our schools to learn our language, learn and teach our history to our children and to have all those rights for 100 years now deprived us of the Albanian state.

We, a big Greek minority organization with 5,000 members in the region of Korca did not need from your financial aid but to support your claim of our minority rights.

We also, Sir, to express once again our gratitude to the General Consul, Mr. Economou - Kamarinos without the action of which is whether the Greeks of Korca would have the courage to declare their nationality.

Mr. Kamarinos give back to the Consulate of Greece dignity she had lost in previous years, and persecuted all who chrimatizontan inside and outside the consulate.
He made us proud to call ourselves Greeks.

Sorry actually you have decided to postpone the premature.
We hope that the next Consul will be as good and will continue to support the Greeks in Korca like that.

Dear Mr. Minister, we hope that the removal of Mr. Kamarinos not mean that you abandon us when we proved that we exist in Albania.

Favor of the project by dressing room and not to remove from the Consulate General in Korca send you the following signatures of our members who gathered in two days.

Yours

The President

Naoum Disho
