The reports by Greek medias on the Bularat incident are giving a different idea on what happened to Kacifas, the nationalist extremist who died in a shootout with the Albanian police.

“Man who raised  Greek flag was killed by Albanian police”, said Ta Nea and To Ethnos newspapers.

The “Democracy” newspaper goes even further: “Immortal. Albanians killed him for raising the Greek flag”.

Several right-wing portals, such as Protothema, even called it “an execution”.

Other media have reported the version of the Albanian Special Forces as well, who had to return fire to the shooter who was putting their lives at risk.

This is despite the fact that the Greek Minister of Education, Myrsini Zorba, wrote yesterday on Twitter that the commemoration in Bularat was conducted very normally, and that there were Greek flags and Albanians officials during the ceremony.

The Greek Foreign Ministry condemned the loss of life yesterday, a statement that caused the Albanian counterpart to respond with disappointment.

The situation caused tension in Greece, where Golden Dawn members were seen protesting in front of the Albanian Embassy.

Today it was reported that young Albanians and Greekss were involved in a fight in an Athens park, which ended up with six wounded.
