91 years ago Albania became king

Today it is 91 years when Albania's Constitutional Assembly unanimously voted declaring Albania, the democratic, parliamentary, inherited Kingdom and Zogu I, King of Albanians. Also approved was the King's oath formula.

The wreath ceremony was scheduled for five o'clock, but in four and a half o'clock, parliament's white room was filled with deputies, civil servants, tribal heads, some with francs and others with white wool parties. The heads of foreign missions were also present, even though they tried to ignore it.

The case raised difficult protocol questions, so by reflecting on their governments' pending verdicts, diplomats had chosen morning clothing without decorations. To prove that their participation was informal, they flocked to the crowd gathered in the modest lobby, leaving the space reserved for “Associated Press” to correspondents.

He swore:

I'm Zogu, King of Albanians, the moment I'm throwing my foot on the Order of the Albanian Queen and taking over the Royal Power, I swear before the power of God to hold the National Union, the Independence of State and Earth. And I swear to hold fast to the station, and to do after its doings, and after the laws which are done, always considering the good of the people. God help me”

Ahmet Zogu was born in Matti Prisons on October 8, 1895. His first lessons were learned from private teachers such as Sali Toron, Hysen (Efendi) Ceka and Dervis Hima for Albanian, Hafiz Muharremi for Turkish, until the age of 13. On June 15, 1905, he leaves for Istanbul and begins his studies in Luce Imperial de Galatasaray, then centre of the fallen Ottoman Empire, which controlled Albania and later at the military academy until 1912. After the death of the têat in 1908, Beu of Matt, also called Little Beu, became the man. He was chosen instead of Brother Jalal belloll.

During World War I, he volunteered alongside the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was held in Vienna in 1917, 1918, and in Rome in 1918 and 1919 before returning to Albania in 1919. During his time in Vienna, he enjoyed Western European life - style, and he is said to have been very popular among the Viennan women. He took German lessons and deepened his knowledge of military art and Western diplomacy.

After his father's death, Xhemal Pasha Zogu, he became master of his house by his mother, Sadije Toptan, who later became queen mother. At this time of 13, Ahmet Zogu becomes head of the province of Matt.

On July 20, 1912 Ahmeti, returned to Albania, because the Balkan powers -- openly supported by Russia -- were preparing to declare war on the Ottoman Empire, as a result Albania would suffer the consequences of this war. On November 1, 1912, he participates with his 2,000 mats in the war against the Serbian-Montenegrin armies by assisting the town of Shkodra, which was protected by Hasan Riza Pasha and his uncle Esat Pasha and his uncle, Pasha Toptan. But badly broken by Serbs in Zadrim. On November 28, 1912, in the declaration of independence in Vlora by Ismail Kemal, Mattin, Debar and Mirdita, it would be represented by Beu i Vogel, who headed the 26-member delegation. While fighting, it was announced that Debra was conquered and burned by Serb forces, as well as addressed to Matt. Ahmet Zogu then quickly left for Matt, where he immediately began preparations to protect at least Matt from the attack.

After the end of the assembly, he returned to his homeland, where he organized the protection of the provinces of Matt and Debar, against the Serb-era army. At Matt Zogu, there were many weapons and ammunition that the Kosovo and Debar mayors, who came to Matt to be supplied. Mati once again became the center of Albania, and his sons did not abandon the settlers but kept them in their families undivided. During Ismail Kemal's rule, Zogu defended the interests of this government, even opposing Esat Papa Toptan. At the time of Prince Vidi's arrival and efforts to install his government in Albania, he supported him. In the spring of 1914, an uprising broke out against Vid (which was thought to have been conceived by Esat Papa Toptan). The bird came to the aid of Prince Vidi and asked the rebel forces to withdraw and not risk national interests. After a negative response on the part of the rebels, he marchs toward Elbasan and Kruja, breaks the rebel forces, and deploys to Crewe. During his time in Kruja, Prince Vidi leaves Albania and leaves the country's administration to an international representative, which also led Zogu to withdraw from Crewe to Matti. In the first world war, King Zog lined up side by side with Austro-Hungary and made 10,000 warriors available to the war. On March 3, 1916, Zogu calls the National Congress in Elbasan to discuss Albania's fate. His initiative, at first, had support from Austro-Hungary, which later scared and prevented him. This act led the bird to withdraw from World War I as a sign of revolt against this action. The Austrians, who was Esat Toptan's grandson, wanted to be exiled. His mother asked Father Paul Doday to help him, then Rubik, save his son. Father Dodaj, goes to Burgaret, knows as frat Ahmeti takes him to the Rubik Convention. With the intervention of Father Doddaj, Zogu goes to Austria with studies at a Military Academy. In January 1917, after Franz Josephus ' death, a delegation from Albania was invited to Vienna by Charles. Following this ceremony, Austrians asked Zogu to stay in Vienna, which had offered scholarships for a handful of Albanians, had plans for our country. That's where you meet Chatty Sarachin. He was forced to settle in Vienna until the end of the war. In 1919, Albania really risked partition, so Zogu returns to political activity, demanding that a national congress be held to protect Albania's fates -- the congress that was held in Lushnje on January 21-31st, 1920, provided with 9,000 people from him (Kongress and appointed interior minister).

On February 11th 1920, following Italian controversy not to allow the deployment of the government to the country's capital in Durres, Zogu san Barricada and ensures the deployment of the government and the Nalta Council in Tirana. On March 6, 1920, together with the Justice Minister, he joins Shkodra with the rest of the country. In February 1920, it stabilises order in Albania. In November 1920 his success provokes jealousy, and as a result, the government resigns. On April 5, 1921, the People's Party MP is elected in the National Council. On November 4, 1921, it is appointed by the government, commander of military operations for the east side against Serbs. On December 14, 1921, after the crackdown on the coup comes to Tirana and ensures the country's calm. On December 24, 1921, the minister of Internal Affairs is again appointed.

In 1922, it changes its last name, removing the Turkish - Volly but simply leaving Zogu.

In March 1922, he resists opposition forces by keeping the capital from anarchy. On December 2, 1922, prime minister is first appointed. In this post, Zogu was the first to start working on drafting the organic laws of ministries. To that end, he established expert groups with two representatives for each ministry. In September 1923 The bird is also confirmed as leader of the People's Party. In December 1923, Zogu manages to secure the largest number of votes in the elections for the Constitutional Assembly, but without achieving the necessary number for the new government's creation. For the first time, it is elected by two mandates -- in Debar and Durres. On February 23, 1924, because Zogu by means of a coalition of independents secured a new majority, an assassination within the Constitutional Parliament was organised. The bird is injured during its entry into parliament by Becir Valter on February 24th. Zogu was entering the Walter door, who quietly played three times over Ahmet Zogu's body. The bird took three bullets, one in hand, one in the thigh and one in the belly. A very severe atmosphere plagued the parliament hall, since most MPs were armed, the danger of an armed clash between opposing sides. After several frightening sequences Becir Valter was stopped and Elyas Vroni took word to calm the situation, while the bird from the country and loudly spoke: “gentlemen, it's not the first time that this happens, so I beg my friends to forget for a moment what happened and deal with this affair” This intervention by Zogu and Vron avoided a real slaughter in the Assembly Hall. He approached Eqrem Bay Vlora with Dr. They were Simonis, who verified the damage of two bullets that had been taken by passing through, one on the thighs, and the other on the bath; and the wounds were bound temporarily. Accompanied with a powerful escort, the prime minister took refuge in his home, and he began to be treated smoothly because the wounds were much easier than expected, wounds that prevented him from even receiving visits from friends. The bird even seized the opportunity to meet with its bomber. Then he resigns. The situation gets angry. In May, 24, the opposition hosts a coup. The government “Virion” that collapsed on June 10th 1924 had appointed its last days, commander for the crackdown on the coup in the north.

In June 1924 not to give way to bloodshed, Zogu leaves in Yugoslavia. The political court of its political opponents condemns him to death in absentia. In December 1924, with the government's decision “Virion” and with the support of the major powers, Zogu restores the legitimacy that fell in June 1924. On January 6, 1925 The Nalt Council decrees prime minister and interior minister.

On January 25, 1925, the Constitutional Parliament proclaimed the Albanian Republic. Ten days later, Ahmet Zogu was elected by the Constitutional Parliament, president of the republic, at the same time being the head of executive power. During this time, Ahmet Zogu restored stability in the country, as well as enabled the signing of important economic, political and military agreements that strengthened Albania's position.

The instability of the country's political stability in the '20s forced a group of parliamentarians to propose the review of the state regime in Albania, parliament decided in favour of that proposal. Following early elections on August 25th 1928, the change of form of government was proposed, the status commission was formed, which proposed changing the form of regime from republic to monarch. This proposal was put to the polls and parliament on August 30th 1928, decided that the Constitutional Assembly would promote Albania's inherited Democratic Parliamentary Kingdom.

On September 1, 1928, the Constitutional Assembly promotes: “The Queen of Albanians” under the name “Bird I” The wreath ceremony was scheduled for five o'clock, but in four and a half o'clock, parliament's white room was filled with deputies, civil servants, tribal heads, some with francs and others with white wool parties. The heads of foreign missions were also present, even though they tried to ignore it. The case raised difficult protocol questions, so by reflecting on their governments' pending verdicts, diplomats had chosen morning clothing without decorations. To prove that their participation was informal, they flocked to the crowd gathered in the modest lobby, leaving the space reserved for “Associated Press” to correspondents.

He swore:

I'm Zogu, King of Albanians, the moment I'm throwing my foot on the Order of the Albanian Queen and taking over the Royal Power, I swear before the power of God to hold the National Union, the Independence of State and Earth. And I swear to hold fast to the station, and to do after its doings, and after the laws which are done, always considering the good of the people. God help me”

On April 7, 1939, refusing to accept the terms of the fascist occupation, he leaves Albania. On April 8, 1939, it takes place in Greece and begins its life in exile. Fearing a negative reaction on the part of the Italian government, Greek authorities immediately informed Rome that the king and his 113-strong suite would not be allowed to organise any political activities in Greece. The next step was to put continued pressure on the king to leave Greece. Also initiated by armed resistance.

In Istanbul the king found many of his supporters, with whom he was able to meet after Turks were preserved less than the Greeks. Because of words spread about his ascension to the throne again, this could only be possible with the help of a Great Power, he soon left Turkey and looked to Britain. He briefed the ambassador to Ankara on his desire to settle in London. The answer came in mid-June after the king vowed that he would not engage in any political activity. In order to avoid a trip near the borders of Italy or through Germany, Zogu and his suite were forced to undertake a long journey across Eastern and Central Europe, which included stop stages in Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Finland, and Sweden.
