It's about 5,000 Albanians from Ukraine who emigrated 300 years ago from the district of Corca to Eastern Europe just to escape war, then with the Ottoman Empire, but find themselves, to the irony of fate, again on the battle line.
Recent events in Ukraine have been on the first pages of world media for days. The open conflict with Russia due to the gathering of thousands of troops to the border appears to be addressing the non-recognition point, where the possibility of a war is not ruled out.
The Albanian Minority that lives in Ukraine is as concerned by the Russia-Ukrainian conflict as the rest of the citizens. But Albanian Union representative in Ukraine Alexander Derment said in a television interview several days ago that they would not surrender in the face of a possible Russian attack.
The delegation says the Albanian minority is combative and they do not forget their old traditions, even demanding that there be an Albanian language and culture school in Ukraine. In four areas south of Ukraine, the word is Albanian, in Odessa, Georgievka, Devniscoe and Gamovka.
