Mustafa Nano: Turks must know, Albania is not Turkey

But what Nano saw as one of his greatest fears is the strengthening that Rama has given this friendship, but, according to analyst, Turkey wants to make clear that Albania is not Turkey, as we are a secular country.

Erdogan's “Visisis is not only symbolic but also real and practical. But this is the only danger I see, since it comes to Turkish religion, there must be one thing that we are not in Turkey. We have some religious beliefs, we have what we consider religious harmony to be.

That should be said. We love you all alone, but remember that Albania has this particular. Because we're not like you. As one religion dominates other religions, I feel despised and that's what I don't want. Turks need to know that we are a secular country, with some religions”, Nano said.

 Mr. Nano returns to a topic we discussed earlier: relations with Turkey. A visit by President Erdogan to Tirana has been announced soon. How do you see the moment of this visit that seems to inaugurate the third mandate of the Rama government?

There is no change that in Rama era if we can call it that way we have seen a strong orientation of Albania towards Turkey. Not that it was before, so have other governments Turkey as a close and great friend, but Rama has that practice strengthened it and that is a two-sided medal. Turkey will always be a friend country for religious reasons, but my fear is that such strengthened friendships should be monitored very carefully because there is always confusion, and therefore who is against Erdogan seems to be against Turkey, and that is not true. I see risks, and one of these is that Albania becomes one of the lands in the Balkans where Ottomanism can be more easily experimented. And they'll want to recover with Albania, which is easier to do, that's my fear.

Turkey invests in building new residences in Lach, has invested in the Namazja mosque and has recently offered access to technology with the sale of fears. According to you, how much symbolic content is Erdogan's visit and do you think it targets a religious audience in our country?

Erdogan's visit is not only symbolic but also real and practical. But this is the only danger I see, since it comes to Turkish religion, there must be one thing that we are not in Turkey. We have some religious beliefs, we have what we consider religious harmony to be. That should be said. We love you all alone, but remember that Albania has this particular. Because we're not like you. As one religion dominates other religions, I feel despised and that's what I don't want. Turks need to know that we are secular, with some religions.

Let's take a break at the mosque. Ankara has made it clear that there is a problem with the head of the Muslim Community, which it calls a goon. Think this is an intervention which the Albanian government, or Mr. Would Rama have to limit it?

Rama has limited it to me since he didn't intervene. In that sense, I believe he has maintained the right attitude, but their pressure is offensive, it's annoying. There are two moments the Albanian authorities must make clear that this is a religious issue that the religious committees themselves resolve. We have nothing to do with this, Rama s'ka. Albania is a secular country.

Nano, a few days ago, Mr. Chairman's spokesman. Erdogan, Ibrahim Kalin, referring to the sale of fears, said Albania's peace and stability are Turkey's peace and stability. How should we read this statement, considering that Mr. Rama, for example, says the drones are for monitoring territory?

And when we talk about peace and stability it's a cliche. They bring something or they make an investment everything they say. Drons, I see firsthand with this. Drons are some equipment to help Albania. I don't see these things connected.
