Former President Bamir Topi expects to be called by SPAK as one of the persons who will testify about the "January 21" file. In an interview on 'Te Pashoq', Topi says that he expects justice to be done this time.
According to him, it is not only about the crime of that day, but about the post-January 21st crimes, where he refers to all the interventions to manipulate the event and never do justice to it.
- Are you ready to testify in SPAK about "January 21" and what do you know more?
"It's been 14 years and when a moment comes to unravel a tragic event, definitely, whether as a citizen or as President, there is also a moment of relief. At the moment, justice is being sought over an incident that has resulted in deaths and injuries. Above all for that humiliating image of clashing with the police of bloodied people and so on. There is January 21st, there are also 22nd and 23rd, or 24th, when people who held important positions such as the president, the chief prosecutor, other independent institutions and media people were the focus of political attacks, even humiliating. I do not decide whether I am called or not. If I am called, I am obliged to go.''
- Would you like to be called?
"I make this contribution, which is not exhaustive, because the issue is complex. There are developments before, during and after the murders. I have written a book about the events that have accompanied the Presidency and January 21 is among them. The writing for January 21 is analytical and within that space I have placed the main events, I have shown important moments. This book was published in 2018. The position of the president at that time was outside of this clash between the opposition and the government. We are now not at what has been consumed, at the moment after the fact, how the investigations were conducted, why the prosecutors were hindered, and then we are at the moment that after 14 years there is a process. Anyone who engages in this method of obtaining information is definitely a liability. You know the accusation that was made that the President of the State was accused of being the leader of the coup d'état. Today, some of the names are in politics, they have dogs and are part of the parliamentary investigative commission. I am one of the people most interested in clarifying the entire context of "January 21"''.
