Ismail Kadare: Why Albanians Leave Their Place

He has given this interview, from where we are disposing this passage, to journalist Rudina Junga, in Jerusalem, where he underlined the comparison between a small country like Israel that does not close its eyes to Jews everywhere, which Tirana has to do for Albanians everywhere. Kadare says:

The people don't live with philosophy, with ideas to make calculations or anything that keeps me in this place or doesn't. The instigation of the human being is natural, so civilization is born. Civilization means insinuation, that is, at first it was the current that ran into them; nomadism, those who wanted to walk constantly, and they wouldn't get stuck anywhere, and those who suddenly gave birth to the idea of not moving, to stay in one place. A major role in the inculcation has been played by women, and especially by pregnant women, since a pregnant woman cannot walk, and it seems that millions of anonymous women in the world have put pressure on men not to move. So there arose two currents, nomads and Shedeners, and became deadly enemies, those who had no homeland, and those who had no homeland.

So civilization arose, that's where we're going to be surrounded by <x0).

I think one of the evils of Albanians is that they love the nation less than others, when I say like others, I say like other Europeans. The nation is a structure verified by history today, accepted by modern history, is not perfect as structure, and speculation has become in its name, but speculation has every sacred concept.

What are we? I don't know how after that brilliant national Albanian Renaissance, which was built all for Albania's love towards its continent that it had lost and recovered, an opposite process began after the fall of communism and began questioning: what are Albanians, what identity do they have? Are they European or not European? This is a deeply hostile thesis for Albania, I don't want to abuse that the word enemy is highly abused, but this is the basic theme of Cubrilovic, that Albanians are not Europeans and must leave Europe. He had to openly say he had to migrate, save Europe from a future danger, and he has said it quite openly to call on the hosts to convince Albanian families to go to Turkey that it is better than here, with the subtext than Albanians, belong to Turkey, they are not Europeans.

I think it's urgent that the publication of his draft, about 50 pages, is published in Zogu's time, is published by a large Albanian patriot, just to see Albanians threaten.

Bringing in Hodge says from Turkey to convince Albanians how good it is in Turkey and to make the necessary facilities with trains, with permission, and even to imply that the reward is given to escape. Here is also what we don't talk about we hide, Turkish-Serbian secret agreements, Turkey winning several million Albanians who won them, and Serbia to be torn out of the Balkans, and it's bitter what I'm saying and what I'd like to say, this is an old project to empty Albanian lands by Albanians.

I can't explain it otherwise, it's the same thing that's been going on for years.

Of course, Albanians themselves do not do anything without Albanians, of course Albania always has its share of responsibility in abandoning Albania by Albanians.

We're doing this interview in Israel, we're here in Jerusalem, this relatively small city is dealing with the world, it's concerned, “doesn't sleep” for Jews worldwide.

Even though we don't do like them, why Albania shut your eyes, like it does. We don't know a lot of things, but at least we know that with our hands we don't spoil what we have.

I often hear there are 5 million Albanians in Turkey. Where did 5 million Albanians go? Why isn't it learned like these 5 million Albanians don't have a school in Turkey, don't have a newspaper, don't have a cultural circle, there's no 5,000 people who know Albanian?

Is there any place in the world that this is happening? How they fled from the European continent to another continent amid a plot of strange silence. Even in Greece, when there's a problem with the gum, I don't know how much this really explains, this move of the mother's what it was like? Chammeria has become a small thing, compared to what it was. This is not that simple. Nothing is as simple as we remember. ”-locks Ismail Kadare interview for journalist Rudina Junga. /dear.net
