Statement of the President of "Omonia" on the anniversary of Independence of Northern Epirus






Like today, 101 years ago, our ancestors proclaimed Autonomy in Northern Epirus, claiming by the powerful of the Earth and the Albanian state the right to self-government of their country.

Our ancestors, who carried on their back 500 years of Turkish yoke, requested the right to dignified survival on their land. The fact that some try to alter or to erase from the pages of history. History can not be deleted and not for the dustbin but is always present to teach and inspire.

The Greek minority in Albania, not only was no problem but there was factor of peace, stability and development. There was however never the analogue response of the Albanian state aims over time to digest it, depriving it of basic rights such as self-determination, the right to education and property. 


These practices under depth nationalism which unfortunately today rampant in all structures of the Albanian society, we remove dangerous than the common vision of European integration achieved with the Albanian people.

 Omonia, with respect to the race of ancestors and true to democratic principles, will not stop fighting for the right of Hellenism as they result from the modern conventions of international law on minorities.
