The Socialist rally in Tirana is dispersed
The authorities: "They had no permit"
PS: "The meeting in a closed hall"
TIRANA - The Socialist rally in the capital is dispersed. Yesterday, hundreds of people gathered against the square in front of Kombinat were not allowed to enter the hall. Police forces considered the meeting illegal because the PS had not obtained the proper authorization for it. "The news does not present itself as a political announcement for rallies in a closed hall". The man who defended the official version was Musa Ulqini, chairman of the PS for Tirana. But he comments that this time his party would not protest. "We will notify the Commissariat very soon about the Kombinat meeting and we will hold it next Saturday," Ulqini of the PS explained.

Yesterday, the press conference with journalists. Appeal to investors, thanks to Italy
TIRANA - "Long live Albania." Twice in a row, Pope John Paul II repeated with great enthusiasm his wish as he was taking leave at the end of the meeting with President Berisha. For almost 20 minutes the two spoke privately with each other - discussing issues concerning the Catholic community in the private library of the Apostolic Palace. The president's visit to the Vatican was preceded by a press conference with Italian journalists focused on the content of the Rome meetings. In the afternoon Berisha traveled to Calabria, where today he is expected for another meeting with the Arbëresh communities.

"This is what comes to us from the little killer atom"
Nobel Prize
Joseph Rotblat, the Albanian activist against the danger of weapons, announced only a few days ago as the Nobel Peace Prize winner, has wanted this time to write in his own hand about what he holds most dear. The horror of Hiroshima and Nagasaki may be repeated if humanity has still not drawn lessons from the terror of hundreds of thousands of victims; this is the message that comes in the written Albanian of the Nobel laureate, who this time writes especially for Gazeta.
JOSEPH ROTBLAT
Nobel Peace Prize
Especially for Gazeta
The main characteristic of the nuclear age is the fact that, for the first time in history, it is now possible for Man to destroy, in a few minutes, all civilization and perhaps the entire human species. Fierce enemies can provoke such a catastrophe, nuclear, a spark from scientists. Those who began the project to build the atomic bomb had, in fact, significant scientific motives. They knew that by building such weapons and thus they could win the war. They considered that the only way to stop it was to condemn these alien weapons and thus to seek it with uprisings. Up to this point the bomb was necessary because only in this way would its use be avoided. But at this point the scientists were mistaken, in my opinion; later they became politicians, and soon after the time of its disintegration, it was used in two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Even worse, the Second World War ended, but the Cold War began. Nuclear weapons became an essential instrument of ideological warfare on both sides of the West. The Soviet Union's acquisition of the bomb pushed the United States to develop the hydrogen bomb. From here began the mad arms race, accumulating 70,000 nuclear warheads and threatening death over a real range.
Some scientists played a vital role in encouraging armaments, but others, mainly through the Pugwash Movement, born from the Russell-Einstein Manifesto, became committed to control, to block this madness. Today that the Cold War has come to an end, this risk has been the main one; the full condemnation of these weapons. The crisis of a world threatened by nuclear weapons is no longer a utopian problem. But, although the states that possess nuclear weapons have been involved in criticism. The years of the Nuclear Disarmament Treaty, American policy, tendencies still on the nuclear basis.
One reason is the link that exists with nuclear weapons far away. One does not rely on use and not for experiments and its exercises. This nuclear problem is in the making by Pugwash, summarized in a book from the magazine "A World Without Nuclear Weapons". Desirable? Feasible? Strict control is that this tool can be prevented under any verifiable inspection system. Technological and civil. The first would be analogous to that proposed in the Convention on Chemical Weapons; verification, in 1993. In the "dual" verification system, all countries must be obliged to exchange and declare the inventory of activities related to this activity and to accept and authorize international inspectors. The issue of nuclear tests remains. The international initiative has succeeded in obtaining the approval of at least 4/5 of the countries of the world. If these nations stop any test or experiment, the tests have transformed a broad man for peace.
In a world without nuclear weapons, which is the publication recognized by Pugwash, it is the world element of security and not that of peace today.

Drowns in a reservoir out of despair
Berat, the story of a woman
BERAT - She drowned herself out of anger. She had her five children, leaving them saying that she was going to their grandfather for a short while, and she threw herself into the reservoir never to come out again.
It is the sad story of a 38-year-old woman from the village of Qerjen in Berat, who, after nine months of living as the wife of a man who had been living in Greece for 4 years, made the tragic decision to end her life, as relatives of Floresha Qaci also recount. A few days earlier her husband sent her a fourth letter, informing her that he had married another woman, a Russian emigrant - and that he would no longer return to Albania. After that day, she endured her grief and despair in complete silence. Exactly on Thursday she leaves the house and goes to the Kamçisht reservoir, about 4 kilometers from the city of Berat. It was some passersby who later spotted on a concrete bench a yellow sweater, and nearby they noticed a human figure on the ground. "We tried, hoping to find her alive," some people close to Floresha told "Gazeta Shqiptare", but it was in vain. She had drunk a lot of water.
