Rama: The fact that there is a Greek minority living there, is an indicator for its integration
31/07/2014
“Himara is like Tropoja, Kavaja and any other area. The fact that there is a Greek minority living there, is an indicator for its integration. Himara has always been an Albanian region. The residents of Himara, Dhermi and Palasa speak Albanian”, Rama declared.
Dule reacted and said that the passing of this territorial reform damages the rights of the Greek minority in Himara.
“Those who make others be part of the institutional life of a country should be proud, not those who simply pass laws”, he said, addressing to the Prime Minister.
Rama denied that the rights of the Himara Greek minority are being violated:
“I have always valued your intelligence, but don’t offend mine. There is no effort to limit the rights and freedoms of the Greek minority in Himara. We have recognized the presence of that minority and we will always respect it”, Rama declared.
“The topic of Himara is sensible because it is related to a 23-year-old effort of some people who wanted to see Himara for what it is not. We will treat residents without distinctions for their ethnicity”, Rama declared.
After a debate with Mr.Dule, Rama spoke about the advantages of the territorial reform: “This reform involves even more the communities that have been excluded from the education system, and allows us to offer transportation services, by making it possible for every child to attend school. The same thing goes for health, social support and security”, Rama declared.
He referred to the results of a poll published yesterday by the Minister of the Local Government, which proved the support of most of Albanians in this effort.
“The Albanian people supports this reform. We saw from the independent poll that 70% support the territorial reform”, Rama declared.
