The Council of Europe will admit us when Nano has been released Who is Berisha up against, whom is he against, or in whose favor is he acting? Like the legend of the Sphinx and Oedipus, he is the only one who can know, and he has left us so little room that all we can do is ask new questions and answer only with new guesses. page 3

(Athens) - A Greek nationalist organization, the “Northern Epirus Liberation Front” (Mavi), which claimed responsibility for the bloody attack on an Albanian barracks in April, has called for “armed war” against Albanian President Sali Berisha. In a leaflet published on Friday, the left-wing daily Elefterotipia reports that Mavi affirms its determination to strike the “Albanian regime” of the tyrant Berisha with force. This group was unknown until the attack on the Albanian barracks in southern Albania, which provoked a serious crisis between the two countries. Mavi also insists on the release of five activists from the Greek minority in Albania, sentenced on Thursday by the Tirana Court of Appeal to prison terms ranging from 5 to 7 years for “espionage in favor of Greece” and “illegal possession of weapons.” The group criticizes the Greek government for refusing to change the borders and calls on it to “take a real interest in Northern Epirus” (southern Albania), which Greek nationalists consider to have been stolen from Greece when the Albanian state was created at the beginning of the century. Mavi gives details about the attack on the Albanian barracks, stating that it carried out the action “to strengthen its arsenal and make its existence known.” The daily also publishes a photograph of the Albanian weapons—about 15 Kalashnikovs and pistols—which Mavi says it seized during the operation. This attack served as the starting point for the deterioration in relations between the two countries. Albania has declared that the commando unit wore Greek military uniforms and withdrew to Greece after carrying out the attack. Greece, meanwhile, has denied any responsibility, direct or indirect. No other account of the circumstances has been presented by the authorities of the two countries. An authorized Greek source said that “this was an attack planned two months earlier by a former senior Albanian police official, now gone over to the local mafia.” (AFP-ATSH)
