"If the Albanians would ask for protection for their properties, then it is worth calling Mitsotakis, they too, not only that the Himariots are completely right. All the Himariots I met in prison, during the dictatorship, they said, they were Greek"
Writer and publicist Fatos Lubonja has commented on the visit of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to Himare. He said that the visit was for electoral reasons and that the Greek minority asked him for help. According to Lubonja, an "invasion" of their land by the oligarchs is taking place in Himare through constructions and strategic investments.
"We no longer talk about minorities starting from the geographical area. A person in Tirana who for some reason declares that he is Greek must be registered as such. This is the principle of all civilized countries. If we go into the history of Himara, we need a show to understand what is there. All the Himariots I met in prison in the dictatorship say they are Greek, there was a movement for their autonomy at the time in King Zog period.
First is citizenship, then comes ethnicity. When ethnicity is more important than that there are problems. These should have found their rights in the Albanian state. The Himariotes, those who call themselves Greeks, I have seen and feared.
In my opinion, an invasion is taking place there, as they are doing to Albania, they have asked Mitsotakis for help, they are being invaded by our oligarchs with strategic investments. This is a process that has happened everywhere. They have Greek support, we have none at all. Mitsotakis went for an electoral campaign and Rama went to avoid this because these are not minorities and did his own custom", said Lubonja in the show "Open" on "News24".
Lubonja said that the Greek Prime Minister's visit is seen as a provocation by Turkey. Focusing on the drones that Albania bought from Ankara, Lubonja added that Erdogan is seen as a threat in Greece.
"When it buys those 6 Turkish drones, Greece welcomes it with great love? Erdogan in Greece is seen as a real threat. Should we turn a blind eye to this? Clear pressure is. Enver Hoxha left Kosovo to keep power.
In Derviçan, you have seen what horror is there. They are completely abandoned. I'm telling you that during the time of Enver Hoxha, the Albanians who were locked up wanted to escape, you want to punish them for treason against the motherland" - said Lubonja.
