They mentioned Skenderbeu when he received Erdogan, Rama: Do Not Become Catholic More Than the Pope

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has reacted to critics mentioned by the hero Gjergj Kastriotin Skenderbeun on the day he visited Albania was Turkish President Erdogan.

Rama says that many of the commentators yesterday learned it was January 17th the day of Skenderbeu's death.

He says these reactions are like that expression “for mother-in-law I go and sleep with the jinn mill.

“What does it have to do with Kruja's sieges and the resistance of Gjergj Kastriot, Republic of Turkey, which began after its formation signed with Albania 100 years ago, in the remote 1923 year “The International Friendship Agreement”?”, Rama writes.

Yesterday, commenting on the visit of the president of the Republic of Turkey, some friends here were not spared the reproach and curses “on behalf of Skenderbeut”! The coincidence required yesterday's visit to coincide with the day of our national hero's death, what they learned with this case full of those who fanned the fires of digital or available patriotism, which flares up every time I meet the “military owner” from Ankara.

But what about Kruja's sieges and the resistance of Gjergj Kastriot, the Republic of Turkey, which began after its formation signed with Albania 100 years ago, in the remote 1923 year “the International Friendship Agreement”?

Where does modern Turkey, a NATO member, prove friend of Albania and Albanians, in more than one case, and how do they get confused with the arrows of Kruja's sieges, vaccines coming to Albania from this friendly state thanks to my friend President Erdogan's special care, at the time that the entire Balkans remained like waterless fish, in the siege of the Invisible Enemy?

How can the hardworking Turkish workers and the president of the Republic of Turkey, who last year built a new neighbourhood with 522 homes for families affected by the earthquake, or those who built a new ultramoden hospital in Fier, with the war of five changed centuries ago?

I don't know if any other people have that expression, “in spite of mother-in-law I go to sleep with jinn mill”. But it is certainly known that throughout its history, this people have seen many angry Albanian flows to the miller's door. Insulting one another has prevented us Albanians from seeing the good of our common home. This of yesterday's generation alignment (that anger actually has it with the government of me), in the imaginary army of defenders of our castle from the Turkish invaders, was a next illustration of the dead endway where “intiate to mother-in-law”.

Of course these sporting hate spasms, which stem from sick party cheering, undisgusting rage “intual” and, unfortunately, sometimes from Islamic stupidity, do not change the content of traditional friendship with the Turkish people, nor the course of strategic partnership with the Republic of Turkey.

One of the angry yesterday denounced my hypocrisy. According to him, I was self-deserved by the hospitality I reserved for President Erdogan in Tirana, following the hospitality that Pope Francis received me in Rome. In fact, this example shows the very opposite of hypocrisy; the truthfulness and depth of special personal relationships because of the task.

These and other relationships of this level reflect my belief that Albania should not be <x0-> Catholic that Pope” in its foreign policy, but that it could be the best “width with friends many”. Yes, friends, of course! /Periscope
