Dreams and realities about the state of Epirus

In July 1995, I was in Athens. There was a seminar for the press. Everything about the seminar has faded from my memory. Only the pretext remains: While in Athens, I met several Socialist MPs. They had come from America. Anastas Angjeli had been with them as well.

The government protects Azem’s killers

Today, 661 days since the murder of the December leader Every day that passes since the murder of Azem Hajdari, the symbol of democracy and pluralism, proves the involvement of Fatos Nano’s government and its successor in the crime that shook the entire Albanian world. The governments of the former communists, which leave free and untroubled the criminals who took the life of the December Leader, show Albanians that they have been and remain on the side of the killers, who have names and identities but are untouched by those in power. Democrats and all Albanians who loved and honored Azem Hajdari can under no circumstances tolerate this fact. The government must either apprehend the criminals and bring them to justice, or publicly declare that it itself committed the murder of Azem Hajdari.
