53 years from the death of Fan Noley

His twenty-point programme for the modernisation and democratisation of Albania, including agrarian reform, was extremely hasty and idealistic for a back seat and without parliamentary traditions.

Noley later wrote his reasons for failing in a letter addressed to an English friend “insisting on agrarian reforms, aroused the ire of aristocracy; not implementing reforms, I lost the support of rural measures”.

He was born on January 6th 1882 in ãobrictepe (Turkish for Qyteza), an Albanian village in Traca, not far from Edreneja.

The primary and high school was conducted in Greek in Heybeliada, Istanbul. However, the pride of the Albanian village for the historical past and the love of Albanian writing influenced him most against the dirty political influence that Orthodox Patricka wanted to have on Orthodox and various nationalities, especially Albanians.

In 1900 he moved to Greece in order to make a living and attend the philosophy faculty. In Athens, she joined a Belgian company that owned trams and horses. But he did not succeed, nor did his studies work out. He was then thrown into other jobs as a copyist, sufler, and actor near a Greek traveling theatre body that appeared and on Galata's scepter. While working there, he was moved by a desire to deal with dramatology by writing the drama “Awakening” in Greek (which was forbidden to appear because it meant Albanian freedom movement). In 1903 he went to Egypt, where he began working as a Greek teacher for two years (March 1903-March 1905). Time when you translate Sami Frasher's work into Greek “Albania has been, what is it that will become”, which was published in the Albanian printery in Sofia. In July-August 1903, he started publishing the first literary sketches in the magazine “Numas”.

In April 1906, with a second-class steam ticket paid by the fellow traveler who had met in Egypt Spiro Dine, Fan Noley left for the New World by passing through Naples and arriving in New York on May 10th. After spending three months in Buffalo, where he worked in a timber plant, Noley went to Boston. There, publisher Sotir Peci gave him a job as deputy editor of the Boston newspaper “Kombi”, where he worked until May 1907 and published articles under the nickname Ali Baba Qytezza.

From February 1909 to July 1911 Noley published the newspaper “Sunelli”, spokesperson for the Albanian community of Boston. On August 10th 1911, he left for Europe, where he spent four months and the Albanian-language church service for colonies in Chisinjov, Odea, Bucharest and Sofia.

From 1908 to 1912, he conducts high art studies at Harvard University, which ends with a cum laude in Bachelor of Arts. After declaring Independence, Noley backed the government headed by Ismail Kemal. In March 1913 he attended the Albanian Congress of Trieste, organised by his friend and rival Faik Do Conica.

In July 1913 Fan Noley first went to Albania, where he held the first Orthodox Orthodox church service in Albanian on March 10th 1914, in the presence of Prince Wilhelm Vid, who had arrived in Durres just three days earlier on an Austro-Hungarian ship. In August 1914 Noley stayed for a while in Vienna, but as the dark clouds of war approached, he returned to the United States in May 1915. From December 21st 1915 to July 6, 1916, he again became editor-in-chief of the “Sun, the Boston daily newspaper”. In July 1917 he again became president of the Vetra Federation.

With elections held on April 5, 1921, the American Colony MP is elected in the second legislature (April 21st), 1921. He served as foreign minister in the Jaferr Ypit government, just for a while before resigning. Noli was the leader of the then left People's Party, against the Progressive Party.
