Thousands of architects and intellectuals not only have opposed the demolition of the Pyramid through a
petition, but they also
asked the government to hear their reasons as experts.

Many young people became part of this debate in social internet sites, such as Facebook. More than 11.000 fans joined against the demolition of this building.

“No one in a normal state of mind would ever decide to demolish the Pyramid”, says the publicist Adrian Klosi.

While the architects unanimously opposed the demolition of the International Cultural Center “Pjeter Arbnori”, publicists and journalists consider this decision as a caprice of the government.

“This is a caprice, or maybe more than that. This is a big affair and many people could make a fortune out of it, while the Albanian culture will become poorer”, Klosi adds.

Several publicists and intellectuals think that the process for the demolition of the Pyramid is out of place and not transparent at all.

“They are hurrying so much to accelerate the procedures, and this just isn’t normal. They are not respecting the normal procedures of a democracy”, declared journalist Ejron Tase.

The architects and the intellectual, but also the young generations, say that such a decision belongs to all Albanians, especially to those who live in Tirana. The Specialists want declare that this building should not be demolished, because it has great architectural values.
