By Kiço Blushi It seems that Hmara, and not only Hmara, has put Albanian diplomacy in the difficult position that is otherwise called a "awkward position." In a certain sense, the Minority Question came under fire, and a whole backstory[] began to emerge not only from Greece, but also from Turkey and, why not, from Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, as is being observed, and even from Ukraine. The issue becomes bitter, and this is seen clearly. Why did the first human points burst forth, and why was someone asking for discrimination and so on? As for the first issues, present-day Albania, with its fragile purpose, is located among a few minorities, since in November[?] the peak displays the spells of fanaticism, and Albanian diplomacy is dragged into clichés of "brotherhood and friendship" and love, as supposedly in some medieval past. Some will behave normally. How can one act normally, of course with rights, if one is not tolerated or is discriminated against? Those citizens are threatened by ultra-nationalisms, of course more by the Greeks than by others. The Aegean land is being torn apart, not to mention homogenization in essence. And Albania by no means serves the purpose of making Albanians laugh. Because if these are put forth in your assemblies while you act as politicians in Albanian assemblies. This stands and is recorded, something that happens through electoral[] relations, turning not one's own from place into a long composition in order to have an illegitimate alibi and to do harm to one's own, within our borders, by demanding a price and some petty things. So, the vigilance of this[] perhaps of the investments that were held with the communists[] even though the leaders, on one side or another, still remain in line, especially in the case of Hmara, because then more than remaining there, it happened that we were cast aside. Yes, exclude the levregjohin[] in the USA for some pool of class. But the country's presidency with sums and with dia and your council these misunderstandings with nusel. (continued on page 6)
