The Turkish journalist spreads Greek propaganda full of untruths: "How the Greek minority in Albania has been persecuted for several decades"

Greece seems to be using the same method as Serbia for spreading anti-Albanian propaganda full of falsehoods and making peaceful claims about the respective minorities they have in Kosovo and Albania.

The most egregious case is an article by the Turkish journalist Uzay Bulut, who in an article in the English-language extremist newspaper "Greek City Times", raises the false claim that the Greek minority in Albania has been persecuted, killed and robbed for decades.

The scandalous article starts with the lawyer for Fredi Beleri, and then goes on to mention several untrue cases of "persecution and persecution of Greeks in Albania".

The journalist says that the Greeks in Albania have been persecuted since the time of Enver Hoxha, who burned their houses, took their lands and deported them to Greece. However, the facts are completely different, there are many who testify that the Greek minority during the dictatorship was among the most "privileged" in the country.

The truth is that the Greek minority in Albania has never been persecuted and mistreated, but they have lived in complete harmony with the Albanians in the south of the country. Even in some cases, the monetary support from the Greek state has been so tempting that it has even tempted many Albanians to declare themselves Greek.

"However, the actions of the police and the Albanian secret service in the south of Albania, where the majority of ethnic Greeks live, are more serious. Especially before the trial of the five leaders of Omonia accused of espionage, many people were illegally detained and interrogated, creating an atmosphere of fear among the Greek minority," the article states, among other things.

The reaction of Greek MEP Ioanis Lagos is more scandalous.

“Ndërsa qeveria greke po bën përpjekje të përbashkëta për të siguruar anëtarësimin e Shqipërisë në Bashkimin Evropian, të drejtat e pakicës etnike greke të Vorio Epirit po shkelen brutalisht nga regjimi Rama. Autoritetet shqiptare kanë persekutuar pa mëshirë grekët në zonë. duke plaçkitur shtëpitë e tyre, duke ua prishur kishat dhe duke i frikësuar, madje edhe gjykatat shqiptare janë vazhdimisht të njëanshme kundër tyre.Kjo ka çuar në vrasjen e dy grekëve nga Vorio-Epiri, Konstantinos Katsifas dhe Aristotle Gouma.Shtypja e grekëve të Vorio Epirit është aq intensive sa edhe të folurit greqisht është një arsye për t'u keqtrajtuar apo edhe për t'u vrarë, siç ndodhi me Aristotle Gouma. Kjo situatë që qeveritë e njëpasnjëshme greke e kanë hasur me indiferencë të ftohtë ka bërë që minoriteti grek të emigrojë masivisht në Greqi në vend që të durojë. kushte të tilla.

"In response to this question, the Commission must explain how it will protect the rights of the Greeks of Vorio Epirus and why Albania's membership negotiations have not been suspended until it complies with the terms of the European Convention on Human Rights" , he declared.
