Voskopoja massacre

Voskopo[s?] massacre The desecration of icons: political "murder" or religious jealousy? ANDREA STEFANI TIRANA - Not yet six years after the Përmet incident (insult-bomb?), another ugly desecration of an Orthodox place of worship has aroused surprise, anger, and deep regret throughout the country and in public opinion. This time the focus is on the Church of Saint Mary in Voskopoja, a rare example of religious architecture and a cultural monument, where icons and frescoes have been damaged. As in the case of Përmet, the question now arises whether we are dealing with an act of vandalism with political overtones, or with religious jealousy?
