Tirana, a dangerous game, against the Ethnic Greek Community

Census, has turned into a nationalist struggle in Albania, which since the fall of communist dictatorship, should begin this process with transparency, required by the Council of Europe

Athens should declare dual citizenship, while Northern Epiriotes, to make their declaration itself, in the event that pushes the process by Tirana

Even 20 years after the collapse of the communist dictatorship, Albania is not revealing a desire, before its candidacy process, to the European Union. The cause has become the Albanian nationalist tensions, against Ethnic Greek Community, trying on the one hand, to intimidate members of the community, and on the other, forcing the Albanian government, to block the registration of the population, provided in April this year.

According to Foreign Minister Edmond Haxhinasto, "administrative elections in Albania, can inhibit the development of the census, as there is growing artificial tensions." In conclusion, the census is likely to fail, despite even 10 million euros provided by the European Union, to help this process. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the involvement of official Tirana, in a suspicious and immoral game with its ally Greece, and will enable the Greek Ethnic Community and Athens, to take the obligated initiatives, to protect western European values for the Greek homogeneity, in Albania.

Specifically, if in the process of registration of the population, will be delayed from Tirana, then representatives of the Greek Community in Albania, should undertake concrete initiatives to develop this process, being declared itself a reliable system even on the European opinion.

Meanwhile, belongs to Athens, to perform another parliamentary initiative, to activate dual citizenship giving out the Greek community living in Albania, approved by the government of Kostantinos Karamanlis, in October 2006, which was then blocked by the opposition PASOK of George Papandreou.

Situated in front of a fact such, the European Union should not tolerate blocking initiatives of official Tirana, which always and more, to protect the interests of the Albanian nationalism aspiration of Gretaer Albania, seeking to suppress, the methods disguised the right to self-declaration of ethnic Greek community in Northern Epirus.

Now, belongs to the Ethnic Greek Community, the initiatives taken to protect the future of its own perspective, in view of the European values and freedoms of human rights, to launch awareness campaign inside own community, which lives by thousands years in their lands.
