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.

(01-02) 03:55 PST SKOPJE, Macedonia (AP) --
Kiro Gligorov, the first democratically elected president of Macedonia who served two terms at the helm of the country in the 1990s as it became independent from Yugoslavia, has died. He was 94.
The head of Gligorov's office, Zivko Kondev, said Monday that the former president died in his sleep at his home in the Macedonian capital, Skopje, on Sunday evening.
Gligorov became president of Macedonia in January 1991, when it was still a Yugoslav republic. He led his countrymen through a referendum, in which they voted for independence. The territory of 2.1 million people became the only republic to secede from Yugoslavia without a war.
Gligorov suffered head injuries and lost an eye during an assassination attempt in October 1995 when a bomb blast targeted his car as he headed to work in Skopje. His driver and a bystander were killed. The president spent several months in the hospital, emerging with a lifelong deep scar above his right eye.
No suspects were ever arrested for the bombing, and the investigation into the attempted assassination has made little headway in the intervening years.
Born in the central Macedonian town of Shtip on May 3, 1917, Gligorov served two consecutive presidential terms, leading the nation from January 1991 to November 1999.
The early days of his presidency were overshadowed by a bitter dispute with southern neighbor Greece over the newly independent nation's name — a dispute that continues to this day. Athens objected to the use of the name "Macedonia," saying it implied territorial ambitions on its own northern province of the same name. It also objected to a symbol on the new country's flag and articles of the Macedonian constitution that Greece believed implied territorial claims.
Greece imposed a crippling 19-month embargo on its northern neighbor, hammering the emerging country's economy. In 1995, the Macedonian government signed an accord with Athens agreeing to remove the symbol from its flag and revising some articles of the constitution, but talks on the country's name have made little progress. In official bodies such as the United Nations, the country is known as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
Gligorov also faced domestic unrest, with the republic's large ethnic Albanian minority pressing for greater cultural and political autonomy.
The demands eventually boiled over into armed conflict about two years after Gligorov's second term was over, with ethnic Albanian rebels battling government troops for about six months in 2001. The two sides eventually signed an internationally brokered peace accord under which minorities were guaranteed greater rights, and NATO peacekeepers were sent to the country.
Gligorov is survived by two daughters and a son. His wife, Nada, died in 2009.

Israel offering equipment to the Hellenic Coast Guard

December 31, 2011 | Filed under: Featured News,Geopolitics

Israel recently offered weapons, ammunition, technical support and other material assistance, to the Hellenic Coast Guard (HCG).

The multilevel assistance provided by the Greek government to Israel, during the flotilla bound for Gaza incident, was not left without a response.

The Israeli side requested to express its gratitude to the HCG, which faces shortages of weapons, tools and technical support (spare parts) because of the economic crisis. The Greeks officials – to their credit – refused any offer in cash, but instead asked the Israelis, who insisted on expressing their gratitude, to provide some equipment. With rapid procedures they drafted a wish list and the Israelis began fulfilling the Greek requests.

The list included: a) a significant number of anti-ballistic bullet proof vests of high standards, b) Jericho pistols with the required spare parts and ammunition c) supplies and parts for electronic devices and sensors for the boats of the HCG d) technical assistance and support equipment for the boats of the HCG as well as other ‘undisclosed’ assistance in accordance with the requests set by the Greek side.

Thanks to the immediate and decisive reaction of the Hellenic Coast Guard and its leadership, the Israelis had the chance to express without delay their gratitude and friendliness in a practical way.

Turkey preparing for an attack against Greece?

December 31, 2011 | Filed under: Featured News,Geopolitics

Although the Turkish political leadership is trying to convince Greece of its benevolent intentions, its acts ultimately betray the reality of its true visions. So after the start of deliveries of the first 52 offensive amphibious bridges Samur FNSS which can erase from the map in a few minutes the obstacle called Evros River and the acquisition of dozens of armored demining vehicles type Keiler, the Turkish Armed Forces completed receiving a few days ago 40 heavy HGMS (Heavy Ground Mobility Systems).

Thanks to these HGMS the Turkish engineering corps can prepare the ground for the transportation of tanks or other heavy vehicles on the opposite bank of the river Evros, while of similar importance is the use of these system for landing operations for which the Turkish Army gets constantly trained opposite the Greek island of Chios.

These heavy HGMS were ordered to the British company FAUN MV Ltd. and Iveco in 2008 costing 21.5 million.

They were delivered only, and we emphasize that, to the engineering units of the 1st Army in Eastern Thrace. The HGMS of the British company can withstand vehicles with weight exceeding 70 tonnes, even on soft ground (eg, river bank or shore) and they are carried on the truck Trakker 8 × 8 of the Italian company Iveco. They are easy to use thanks to the simple laying system that these trucks have.

The walkways are made of high strength aluminum alloy 54.7 meters long and 4.5 meters wide, and their total area reaches 228 square meters.

It is worth noting that this acquisition is the second of the Turkish army, since a few years ago had acquired another ten of such systems. The continued insistence of Turkey to acquire offensive systems for crossing barriers and removing obstacles as well as systems that facilitate the handling of heavy armored vehicles have a single purpose to prepare the Turkish Armed Forces to carry out offensive operations.

While the Greek political and economic elites praise Erdogan’s government, the leadership of the Turkish Armed Forces with these armament programs is methodically preparing for the implementation of invasion plans or at least for the intimidation of the Greek government.

Hopefully, after the explanations requested by the Greek government from Turkey regarding the statements of the former Turkish Prime Minister Mesut Yilmaz on the arsoning of Greek forests by agents of MIT will also seek new explanations by the Erdogan government why Turkey during the recent years is systematically buying military equipment for overcoming water obstacles.

Albanian Nationalists of RBA make balance: "We won battle with Census"
30/12/2011 11:00

The Red and Black Alliance made a balance for 2011, considering it as the most popular in history.

The RBA leaders declared that the objectives for the next year will be made public in Kruje on January 17th, which coincides with the death of the National Hero, Gjergj Kastrioti Skenderbeu (Scanderbeg). According to the RBA, the goal of this movement will continue to oppose the anti-Albanian politics.

“We will oppose any anti-Albanian politics. On January 17th we will be in Kruje, will commemorate Skenderbeu and will declare the objectives for the future of Albanians. The objectives will be published in Kruja, the home of Skenderbeu. The giant flag will climb the Kruje Castle and 2012 will be the end of the anti-Albanian world`”, says the RBA declaration.

During this declaration, the RBA leaders did not leave without mentioning the population registration process.

“We won the battle with the Census, and the Constitutional Court overthrew the shameless Albanians”, the RBA leaders declared.

Minorities say Albania discriminates against the right to nationality

30/12/2011

Minorities in Albania plan to challenge the Constitutional Court decision to make the category "nationality" unconstitutional in legal and civil registries, as well as on census forms.

Ethnic minorities in Albania -- Macedonians, Greeks, Serbs, Montenegrins, Vlachs, Roma and Egyptians -- announced they will pursue a lawsuit at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, following Albania's Constitutional Court ruling last week to erase the category "nationality" in legal and civil registries.
The court determined that "nationality" is not necessary to include on the census forms to enumerate the population in Albania.
A particular bone of contention is erasing "nationality" in the official books documenting birth, including for already recognised minorities like the Greeks in the south of Albania and the Macedonians in the Mala Prespa area.
The Albanian court acted on the legal challenge issued by several local judges as well as the Red and Black Alliance, one of the main opponents of recording ethnicity and religious identity in the Albanian census that took place last October.
"Some artificial Greek minority is going to ask for special status, maybe for a percentage in parliament or government," said Albania's Higher Council of Justice deputy head Kreshnik Spahiu. The Council is chaired by President Bamir Topi to monitor the judiciary.
