Albania operates as an instrument of Turkey?

Written by Emmanuel MANGIOROS *

Looking at the objective observer of what is going on with Greece, the neighboring country, last time, notes:


Completed and inaugurated Turkish submarine base in Durres.
On 25.05.2010 the Albanian Parliament passed a law on entry and residence of Turkish naval units in Albania.• The Constitutional Court of Albania, reportedly after intervention by the Ankara not ratified the delimitation of the continental shelf Greece - Albania signed by Mr. Karamanlis and Berisha on the same rationale rejected by Ankara, in accordance with international law, delimitation of the continental shelf of the Aegean Sea.
• murdered citizens of Greek origin in that country, on the grounds that speak Greek language.
• featured in textbooks of the country as the Albanian regions of western Macedonia and Epirus and Albanian, the ancient tribes of Epirus Thesprotia of Molossos of Chaones etc.

These events are not unrelated to the policy pursued in the Balkans, Turkey.
The current Turkish Foreign Minister Davutoglu on page No. 200 of his book entitled: The strategic depth. The international position of Turkey writes: "Both short and medium term objectives of foreign policy of Turkey in the Balkans is the strengthening of Bosnia and Albania within a framework of stability and creating an international legal framework to put under the protection of national minorities in the region.

In this context, Turkey should continually seek to provide guarantees that would provide the right to intervene in matters concerning the Muslim minorities in the Balkans.
The legality of intervention in Cyprus which is a striking example in modern times it has been possible within such a framework.
It is clear that the Albanian leadership's actions in the works of Turkish aspirations and their instrument in the Balkans, because what else can we suppose that happens when grant basis to the Turkish fleet in the rear of Greece or when aligned with the Turkish views the issue of the continental shelf, or when directed against the Greek minority and cultivating the youth of the country atmosphere irredentism?

Perhaps unaware of the Albanian leadership that Greeks and Albanians are no doubt folks relatives that lived together peacefully for centuries, that were enslaved by the Turks at the same time? Perhaps unaware that the Turks Islamist violently largely to the Albanian people recently? Do unaware that the vast majority of currency imported into Albania from Greece?

Really how many Albanians work in Turkey?
If the political leadership of this country has decided to link its fortunes with the exuberant and unconstructive Turkish aspirations aiming at the reconstruction of the Ottoman Empire, transforming it into an instrument of Turkish policy in the Balkans, is certain to lead the country in adventures by which the people will suffer further. Remember the recent mishap of Azerbaijan which was based in Turkey during the war operations in Armenia, but the passions of Agriculture, which was based not least in Turkey and the conflict with Russia.

If, however, has decided to sacrifice, with persistence and patience to modernize the country and lead it into the European family to which the Albanian people must move away from the Turkish and embrace the fantasies and the country's

The options are Albanians. Greece shall, in each case, to respond decisively and to make clear and public practice in Albania that the continuation of the above conduct would have very serious consequences for its economic survival but also for the European course.
