Actor Laert Vasili made some strong statements on the Studio24 show on News24, as he commented on the origins of Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias and the history of the Arvanites in Greece.
"Why do you call him Dendias? Dedja has it, he's from Vuno ," Vasili said during discussions in the studio.
He also recounted an episode related to a media visit to Corfu, where, according to him, a lawyer originally from Vunoi was interviewed.
"When they went to Corfu to get an interview from a famous lawyer, there was one named Dedja and he was holding a bust of Skanderbeg. He said he was from Vuno and that his ancestors had fought alongside this brave Albanian ," Vasili declared.
According to the actor, Dendias himself has acknowledged his origins from the Himara area.
"Dendias himself says it's from where he believes it originated. Himara was the name of the whole area down there ," he said.
Further, Vasili also commented on the political history of the Greek state, describing it as built on Arvanite influence.
"Greek politics is to take off its hat, it is the deep state of Arvanites. This deep state of Arvanites, with the Ali Pasha fund, with which the Greek national bank was created, was established with Ali Pasha's wealth by some Arvanites and they believed that they were creating a new Orthodox Albania against the Ottomans ," he declared.
