-Deep disappointment in their ranks - Abaz Ermenji gathers 1,000 people while Namik Dokle gets no more than 200 - Other bitter results of the election campaign - Ulqini reveals the secret: the PS has about 5,000 members in the capital In the same hall where a few days earlier the nationalist returning after years had stepped, Mr. Abaz Ermenji gathered around 1,000 people, while comrade Namik Dokle could not gather even five hundred or 200. Tirana turns its back on the Socialists -Deep disappointment in their ranks - Abaz Ermenji gathers 1,000 people while Namik Dokle gets no more than 200 - Other bitter results of the election campaign -Ulqini reveals the secret: the PS has about 5,000 members in the capital In the same hall where a few days earlier the nationalist returning after years had stepped, Mr. Abaz Ermenji gathered around 1,000 people, while comrade Namik Dokle could not gather even fifty or 200. The calm of the hall of the Academy of Fine Arts was not disturbed by the applause of the participants, who in a funereal silence followed the words of the comrades Pellumbi, Dokle, Ulqini and others. The main speech was given by comrade Pellumbi, who could not convince the participants because of the removal from the leadership of the intellectuals Lakrovi, Loshi, Shahollari, Zeneli, Kumbaro. Other young comrades could have been candidates for the new PS elections, but Pellumbi, by leaving otherwise to be understood, hinted at the troubles awaiting the PS. For the leaders of the PS the danger is coming “from home”, which is seeking “a split in the PS”. Pellumbi left the attendees speechless when he explained the consequences of the anti-genocide law. According to Pellumbi, the anti-genocide law gives certain forces of the country the opportunity to take jobs in the PS. Dokle brought nothing new apart from a few blandishments in reply. The most interesting revelation was made by Musa Ulqini. Ulqini addressed 200 people present in the hall with the words: “You are 1/24 of the PS members in the capital. So compared to an Ulqini, he declared that the capital of the socialists of the capital of Tirana has 5,000 PS members. The declaration deflated 20 results of the “follow-up poll!” “Double” inadvertently hidden that was given and whether Ulqini was aiming at what I was to think about his declaration? If it is the first, Musa should be congratulated for having had even a moment of genuine sincerity. If it is the second, the matter leads to the chair (Continues on page 2)

President Berisha chaired a plenary session of the UN General Assembly From the activities of the President of the Republic in New York The day before yesterday, the President of the Republic of Albania, Sali Berisha, chaired a plenary session of the General Assembly of the United Nations, and also delivered a greeting speech on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of this organization. Meanwhile, President Berisha continued meetings and contacts with high-ranking international personalities, some of which were held at the “Park Meridien” hotel, President Berisha's residence in New York these days. The evening before, the President, Mrs. Berisha and the delegation accompanying him were among compatriots at the Den Bajarden restaurant of Mr. Delmo Delmone. The attendees congratulated President Berisha on Albania's great progress, the increase of its prestige, the strengthening of cooperation with the United States of America, and his dedication to the vital issues facing Albanians, President Berisha in the USA, as well as his visit to Huston as a guest of former President Bush. President Berisha spoke to the compatriots about Albania's achievements and informed them about the meeting he had with President Clinton, where once again friendship and support for President Berisha and Albania were confirmed. The compatriots expressed to President Berisha their great desire for the democratic forces to prevail more strongly in the upcoming elections, so as not to allow the return of communism to Albania, which would be a disaster for Albania and for Albanians everywhere in the world.

“We will smash your skulls and drag the democrats along the ground,” Kastriot Islami was shouting two years ago after Kaçi i zi entered. There is no tolerance for crime and anti-law “We will smash your skulls and will drag the democrats along the ground” shouted Kastriot Islami two years ago after Kaçi i zi entered. “We will turn the former persecuted into a tribe,” declared Hadjragja a year earlier. “Blood!” shouted the chairman of the PS in Kavajë in the presence of Pellumbi during the Referendum. “Those who rose today against the PS will end up in prison as soon as we take power!” Those were their words a few days ago in Lushnje. So we are not dealing with a coincidence but with a constant policy of the socialist leaders, who after every failure unleash this kind of ideological terror. They threaten, curse and insult, provoking the feelings of a people who for 50 years lived under their violence and terror, and then cry out about violations of democracy and the establishment of a dictatorship. The signatories of 22 March fought for a state radically different from the one built by the red criminals. An entire people rose against the dictatorship and on 22 March ’92 gave it the boot, along with those who until the end tried by every means to keep it standing. Yes, the communist leaders, now turned into leaders of the PS, could not conceive of a democratic state. Many of them initially joined voluntarily because they feared a massive revenge by the people in revolt. They could not break away from their criminal concepts; therefore they think people... would have behaved with them just as they behaved for 50 years with an entire people. They could not conceive that a state could place goals above tolerance and even above the law. They, unfortunately, still do not manage to understand such a thing today. Always guided by their own concepts, they took tolerance for weakness and thought the time had come to return to the stage just as they were, with hands still red from the blood of innocent victims. We thought they could act with the Albanians as they had acted until then and again sow roots in everything, and they began to show their teeth again with threats. Even the son of the dictator dared today to threaten Albanians in order to take revenge yesterday for that filth who was his father. The PS leaders thought the time had come to bring back a practice, to turn the revolution upside down, and with their heavy momentum they appealed nostalgically to those who cared about nothing, not even the laws, to go into action. But the top of the PS has still not understood that 22 March marked the beginning of a democracy and the rise of a state based on tolerance, and that 22 March marked the birth of a communism and the birth of a legal state. They began screaming about violations of rights when their militants were caught with illegal, anti-constitutional and anti-Albanian leaflets. They screamed that a dictatorship was being imposed when force was upholding the law. They protested when they had to be reminded of the blood that had been shed. All this cannot mean they have not understood that anti-legal communism in Albania will not return anymore. Albanians can no longer tolerate such crimes.

The Socialist escort provoked unrest Citizens claim that the security forces kept order and enforced the law Ilir Zela calls out: “We will curse the door! We will tear the cinema apart” We traveled to Lushnje in order to inform the reader as accurately as possible about the event described by the eyewitnesses. The events in Lushnje in the eyewitnesses’ account Pellumbi suffered his great defeat The Socialist escort provoked unrest Citizens claim that the security forces kept order and enforced the law Ilir Zela calls out: “We will curse the door! We will tear the cinema apart” We traveled to Lushnje in order to inform the reader as accurately as possible about the event described by the eyewitnesses. The image of the left-wing newspapers with falsified photos from “KJ” or from the “trumajat” of “ZP” in the square in front of the cinema, with the aim of flowers as soon as one enters Lushnje. From conversations with Lushnje citizens we are producing the chronology of the Monday noon event, when the Marxist, comrade Servet Pellumbi, first deputy chairman of the PS, at the head of a handful of Enverist fanatics, arrives in the city of Lushnje to hold some kind of pre-electoral activity. As soon as he got out of the car, Pellumbi was greeted by two old men, former members of the PPSH. By these, comrade Servet, with the raised communist-style fist, greets the nostalgic arrivals gathered by the newspaper man with coal-black pages, from other villages of the Lushnje district. As well as a loser with a red biography from the city. Among the “enthusiastic” socialists they head toward the entrance of the city cinema, where the “meeting” of the Lushnje socialists was supposed to take place... However, to Pellumbi’s misfortune, the cinema door was closed; its owner, Mr. Ferit Tabaku, a legitimate PS sympathizer, being a private free man, had preferred to sell his labor and his business rather than listen to the worn-out dogmas of the old revolutionaries of the PPSH, comrade Servet. Since he regards the behavior of the owner, the five of them have withdrawn from the PS. Here socialist deputy chairman Pellumbi and his furious escort, headed by the fallen “trivovar” Zelenka, burst into unrestrained hysteria. Slogans against the government and its legal entities, against the institution of the Presidency, against the PDSH, against the people, spread, who according to them had become rebellious and disobedient. The “Euro-socialist” Ilir Zela stood out, often shouting: “We will curse the door! We will tear the cinema apart.” And further he addressed them, insulting the citizens in a vulgar way, who, prompted by curiosity, had come to see what had happened. As the witness said, in the city “Kine e Vrenozit” addressed Pellumbi with the words: “Where is your comrade Femi Abdia? Perhaps, but at least give me the fate of my grandmother Pasho Vrenozi, whom he left to be shot?” After this hysteria by Pellumbi’s socialists, the people in the surrounding area revolted, so the situation became tense. Thanks to the proper disposition of the city’s order forces of Lushnje, the events, with the wisdom of the people of Lushnje, were resolved without reaching the framework of violence between the different parties. Betrayed by their own sympathizers, by the organizational indifference of their structures in the district, by the indifference of PS members, comrade Servet and his escort left the city of Lushnje with their tails between their legs, unable to hold their planned “meeting”. This reality was bitterly testified to by the PS itself in Lushnje, and it was also said by many people who had been eyewitnesses on the day Pellumbi failed in Lushnje. SKËLQIM GUÇE, 24 years old In the square in front of the cinema we saw groups of people gathered. We learned that the PS was going to hold a meeting, but they were leaving one by one. Out of curiosity we approached and heard several people who apparently came from Tirana and from the villages of Lushnje start insulting and provoking the people around them with some of the most offensive words. Indeed, some voices in these groups of arrivals said they would tear the door of the club, the cinema door...?! But the cinema door was closed by its owner himself, who is a PS sympathizer. As for the security forces, they stayed as the law required, maintaining order and peace. Above all, nothing ugly happened. Ilir Zela was the one who launched the slogan that they would tear the door apart. These words of Ilir Zela caused great irritation among the people of Lushnje. But the people of Lushnje are democratic and do not support these vandalistic actions of the conservative socialists. DRITAN SADKU 22 years old: From everything I saw there, everyone behaved with gratitude toward the socialist leaders, especially the young people. It is not true that there were police and SHIK forces from Kavajë, Berat, etc. At least most of us know the people who are here in Lushnje, since it is a small town. NDRIÇIM MARA 30 years old: The event is this. While walking on the boulevard, I was asked whether Servet Pellumbi would come as a PS deputy of the city because the campaign had started. Many people said that the oral and indecent campaign for the PS had begun. As soon as Servet Pellumbi’s escort arrived, they began, with insulting words, to mock the people gathered on the boulevard. From the insults made by the PS people, the listing of other people. The PS version that we were brought in from the road, etc., is completely wrong. Those socialists were shouting that they would tear open the cinema door, while the curious were shouting “Down with the communist!” BAJRAM KORESHI 65 years old: The closing of the cinema door drove mad the people who had come from Tirana. As soon as Pellumbi and his companions started saying that they would make a denunciation, that they would make a mess when they took power, people gathered, insulting them and replying with words. It must be said that the security forces maintained a very correct stance, protecting the individual and peace in the city. PREPARED BY: DIJLMAN KARAJ LUSHNJE 25 OCTOBER 1995

Honorable Safet Zhulali, Minister of Defense of Albania, and a high-level Albanian military delegation, have held meetings with American Defense officials. Statement from the Department of Defense on meetings at the Pentagon between Albania and the USA Honorable Safet Zhulali, Minister of Defense of Albania, and a high-level Albanian military delegation, have held meetings with American Defense officials. Minister Zhulali was in the USA for an official visit at the invitation of Defense Secretary Perry. During the discussions at the Pentagon, the Minister’s mission was to ask for U.S. Department of Defense support and cooperation in restructuring the Albanian army in a democratic government with civilian control. With experience, he requested the continuation of aid for the development of infrastructure for the Armed Forces of Albania. The American side promised to continue examining the possibility of finding appropriate defense items, especially transport equipment that could be offered to the Armed Forces of Albania. The Albanian side expressed interest in continuing joint exercises and suggested the creation of a national training center, which was welcomed by the American side in the spirit of PFP. Secretary Perry expressed appreciation for President Berisha’s ongoing efforts to prepare democracy in Albania and democratic principles in the Albanian army. In his meetings, the minister supported the position expressed by President Berisha during his visit last month to Washington regarding the fundamental human rights of Albanians wherever they are, especially those in Kosovo. Minister Zhulali and Defense Secretary Perry signed an agreement on the tracking of military information and awarded the departing American military attaché in Albania, Lt. Col. Buçine, a decoration. Both sides pledged to continue working closely with one another. Besides meetings with Dr. Perry, the Secretary of the Ground Forces West, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Borda, Coast Guard Commander Admiral Kramek and others, Minister Zhulali held meetings with officials from the State Department and with various congressional leaders. He traveled to the State of New Jersey for meetings in the Senate and at the National Garden, as well as to the Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and the Military Academy at West Point, New York.

Et’hem Ruka and Bardhyl Agasi physically attack PD deputies The hooliganism of the PS leaders spills over into Parliament Et’hem Ruka and Bardhyl Agasi physically attack PD deputies NDREKE GJINI On the faces of the socialist leadership a stone is set every day. The irresponsible actions of the old guard at the head of this party, who recently publicly worked against the public with the “five enemies” they had sheltered in the leadership during the party sessions, show that nothing has changed in this party except its name, from PPSH to PSSH. The leadership of the PS is proving with facts that it has remained as it was in the PPSH, very violent and anti-law. And they are proving it with concrete facts. After their legal tendencies, after the insults and slanders and filthy speculation, after the threats and after the deeds in power to change the just laws and put people in prison, after the open acts of hooliganism and physical and psychological violence in the streets, they are trying to manifest these also in the Albanian Parliament hall. This is best demonstrated by yesterday’s final act of the plenary session. After a completely deceptive declaration by Dokle regarding the so-called events in Lushnje, this socialist deputy, whose motto is lying and disinformation, could not stand hearing the reasoned response of the Lushnje deputy Kujtim Gina to what had actually happened in Lushnje. Thus, “joined together” like this, they let loose and shouted loudly in order to make the explanation of the truth impossible. But after things were clarified and it became clear that the reason for the occurrence in Lushnje was not the police and SHIK, nor was it Dokle, but a member of the PS who is the current owner of the cinema in that city, the issue became known so that the meeting would not be realized. Indeed, this action (Continues on page 2)
