Ngjela: HImara is not a minority

“Dule and Bollano don’t know our history. They are pushed by some circles, and they don’t even know what they are and what their head is. Himara has no relations with the minorities. The citizens of Himara don’t say that they are Greek, although they have received pensions from Greece, and they did well. But this has nothing to do with ethnicity. Ethnicity is seen with the language and the ethnography. Gjon Kastrioti went to Himara because they are Arberesh, and in the 17th and 18th centuries they had many trade exchanges with the Arberesh. They had their newspapers and literature. But Dule doesn’t know history and he cannot come here and tell it to us”, Ngjela declared.

“If the request for having Himara as a Minority Municipality would have been accepted, that would be a dirty national stain”, Ngjela declared, expressing his trust that the politics will not allow this.

Ngjela commented the unification of Himara with the Vlore River village.

“That’s also part of Lberia. They were divided by religion, but they are from Laberia, if you see their songs”, Ngjela declared for Top Channel.

As for the Himara case, ngjela has no doubt that it is Albanian. Ngjela says that the territorial reform should include the districts too.

“This reform should have been done in 1998”, Ngjela says, reminding that the basis was in Fan Noli’s Constitution, which included the reform for the division of Albania in cantons, which also included the canton of Kosovo.

“I am not saying that we should start with cantons, but with autonomous regions like in Italy. We cannot have a territorial reform without a property reform in Albania. This has been destroyed by the greed of the politicians, with their primitive tendencies and non-legal visions. These reforms were not done by legal experts”, Ngjela declared.
