SManalysis: What historic facts, are "missing" inside the new website of The Himara Municipality?

The new Web site, of the Himara Municipality, is absent in general, historical responsibility to return, everything from the standpoint absolutely the contrary, the facts and historical events, especially after the year of 1821 the Greek revolution, everything Hellenistic, is Albanian now converted.

Looking at the critical point of view, what characterizes of the Himara History on this website, is clearly a only important argument, the Indipendence of Himara from Ottoman Empire. While generally, in short, is presented a history of "socialist realism", of the communist dictatorship.
What are missing in the opinion of SManalysis, the History of Himara , in the new website?

1. Historical element of independence, from 2600 years, at a time that Albania, is celebrating its 100 th anniversary of the creation of an autonomous State, though the missing element Himara Region, objected to the great powers, in its inclusion within the borders of Albania, once established in 1913.

2. The main historical element is missing the Hellenizm, the develop educational tradition and inherited the Byzantine culture, especially after the year 1821 the Greek revolution.

3. Missing injustices and systematically carried out the terror of the Albanian state in the period, until 1945, the Greek schools block and the trial of the 1935, in Hague with the Albanian state.

4. Absent anti fascist resistance, the Italian - Greek War of 1940, in view of the alliance Himarioto - Greek - Anglo - American block, as the winners of the Western Alliance Forces during the WWS, against the Fascist Axis and the Communists Establishment in the region of Himara.

5. Lack of 2 December 1945 elections, when people Himara opposed to a free vote, the communist dictatorship, which publicly condemning people of Himara and its strong resistance, the newly installed communist resistance in Albania.

6. Missing sentenced hundreds of personalities, shot and interned of the Himara Community and Orthodox Church, at the time of communist dictatorship, the fact that they felt Hellenes or himariotes, and arbitrary decisions of the state opposed against the Albanian dictator.

7. Lack freedom of expression and votes, systematically violated the international evidence of the Albanian State and current efforts to assimilate to the culture of the people of Himara.

8. Lacks the essential element of harmony, the unresolved problem of ownership of property, family, community and the Orthodox Church.

9. There is a systematic tendency to present the Himara Region, as a "symbol of elite tourism", under the development plans, which are based on assimilation strategy in the service of Albanian Nationalism Strategy, to obtain with the propagandistic force, the last fortress sill remaining in the Albanian Ionian coast, Himara.

10. There is Pan Himara Conference decision, to resolve the property in 2005, as a Legitimate Assembly with participation of all forces and the Diaspora of the Himara Region, seeking to dominate the privilege, that for the future everywhere of  Himara, to determined only by the elected political entities in the Himara Municipality, and not by the intellectual elite of Himara, mainly in Diaspora.
