Greece surrenders: Minister Kotzias speaks of “feared” on the Tahiri case, Himara proposes “ ”...

Journal: The Greek Foreign Affairs Ministry, several days ago, made a statement concerning the political situation in Albania and the possible involvement of a former minister in a drug scandal. Albania's Foreign Ministry has responded and pressed charges concerning your internal intervention of Albania's affairs. In the same report, Tirana expresses its readiness to continue negotiations, although it reminds you that you have committed a violation of diplomatic protocols, writes Ayara.gr.

The intention to destroy “ ” buildings in Himara. I think it is a wise choice of the Albanian side that helps them negotiate. Second: As for the prosecution of Albania's former interior minister, we talked about human rights. The problem we have is that the Greek minority is not recognised by Albanian law. It is recognised by international law with the121 agreements. The very establishment of the Albanian state is associated with recognition of these rights. Then came Enver Hoxha, where, “specialised” individual property and socialised it in the style of the 1968 cultural revolution in China. Here was the introduction of the Greek minority property. He identified the Greek minority only in certain areas. Albania's new minority law will be judged by Europe. As a member state of Europe, we have an opinion and say it in the European Union. The law granted a set of rights to the minority, known by international law since 1921. It's a good law first of all. That's why we've said it's a step forward. What's the weakness of the law? An Albanian politician will rightly tell me: “But what areas? We say minorities are everywhere in Albania. ” Yes, but the law does one thing: it refers to minorities based on the identification of records. The censuses, for example, did not allow the registration of the Greek minority in Heima. So, while the law is liberal and good, its rebirth, its initial point, which is the registry, repeats the problem of the Greek minority. That's what we're saying. You didn't make a good law, but instead of defining citizens -- that is, being Turkish, Greek, Albanian, who wants them all -- the law provides for identification based on records. But that was decided by Hoxha, who stopped recording outside the group. That's the point and we think it's unfair. Do you know how many Greek populations Himara has? Just look at the buildings that are in ruins. And the second problem is I mentioned to Hoxha that “Socialize” these houses is that after the regime collapsed, no property titles were given. And they say “you don't have a ownership title” or” give you a small compensation”. There's a solution, but I won't force it. But as a person, not as a minister, I think the solution is to give land parcels elsewhere to give economic activity an opportunity. However, we believe that there is a better meaning with the Greek minority, greater respect for those who trust me.

As Greek foreign minister further writes: “in Europe, it is normal to discuss minority rights, human rights, property rights. I don't like to feed conflict. That is why we did not respond to the Albanian Foreign Ministry announcement. I had made a very good answer, but then I judged that it wasn't necessary. The same happened to the Turks. They made 10 reports, I answered half a message. I'm not a fan to fuel anger for me, international politics is not a fight for two people who have to blame or raise my mind. When I realize that things don't work well, I have to be more discreet, colder, more patient. And that's why I think, even if there's exchange of harsh statements we don't follow, negotiations can be made. And, really, can I tell you something? Turns out we have to close the case. Because if we don't close, we'll have a problem like this” every day. /Panorama/
