Writer
Vasil Premci making a strict criticism precisely the institutions that
such activities are doomed but they were diverted without dignity or to
explain to the disparagement that make size values nationwide.
Prof. Gezim M. Uruci Euroetnolog, an expert on prehistoric art, which had come with a group of Shkodra, known biologist Mr. Ahmet O.
Osja, Dr.Naim Lacej researcher, analyst Arben Cokaj, Cokaj Dashamir
doctor, raised the great question "Where is the Academy?" . Voluminous
works of Aristidh
Kolia that raises the dignity of a people to forget the proper order to
be cut roots arbërore, had not harrohej Arvanites together with people,
but was a landmark study by the Institute Albanalogjik.
Adriano Xhafaj showed up for work that is done with internetike media to popularize the work of Aristidh
Kolia and other distinguished Arvanites as Vangjel Liapis and obstacles
because it becomes a vicious struggle to be blunt Arvanites, to create a
gap between them the Albanians, even though arvanitas propagandized
baloney, their culture and have no connection with the Albanians.
Without a serious commitment to help the Albanian state can not be solutions to the issue arvanita.
Fatmiroshe
Xhemalaj-Shehaj, teacher by profession, stressed the need of making
known the work of the madh.Të Arvanites popullazimin same problem for
the work of Aristidh Kolia Skender Shala also raises in a letter sent with this case from Switzerland.
Read
the works of the historian Jacob Philip studjusit and Galmereier,
author of Science of Bavaria, the bizanit researcher and publicist
(1790-1861), who had invaded Greece, Turkey, Macedonia, and was well
known and quite well arbresha Illyrian population of the peninsula. The
scientist of the time wrote to the Greeks, quote: "Greeks have nothing
in common with the ancient Greeks, not even a peak blood does not have,
nor trace of continuity inherited from ancient culture. This nation is a
mix of Albanians, slave, Turkish and others. The scientist has also written two works for the Albanians: "History More Peninsula during the Middle Ages, 1830-1836 Münhen and "Albanian element in Greece, from 1857 to 1861."
Riza
Lahi, who noted that this work has remained only on the personal
initiatives of people who have known closely but we have a state (in
fact two Albanian states), we Institutions, paid for this work, to this
stupid deaf is meaningless, even embarrassing. Academy of
Sciences, Institute Albanology, they were invited History of Linguistics
but except Nasho Jorgaqi and Klara Kodra been privately discern not a
representative of institutions.
Publisher of the magazine "Obelisk" Roland Lush distributed on this occasion special number devoted Aristidh Kolia.
In
conclusion of this event, which was completely out of the academic
focus of the media, only in limiting the friends and readers Aristidh Kolia work, we can say that this was the best opportunity to see what really are our institutions study and cultural. Institutions were invited, only the representative of the National Museum Enver Kushi and journalist Valdete Antoni from “Radio Tirana”, the researcher Koco Danaj, others not even remembered.
Ministry
of Culture gave room and video projection, which, thanks, but no holder
or department director who should be in the podium of honor was not
shown.
With the right at closing Traboini, this memorial nisiator said Tirana but also all over Albania is like an edifice with roof but without the side walls where the gusty winds blow Greek expansion.
Under
the rule of Serbia's total indifference creates a fictitious minority
in southern Albania, while we let millions arvanitas oblivion but also
persecuted Cham population, which Aristidh Kolia, this greet man, had the courage to declare it without trembling Eyelash majority arvanitas not minorities in Greece.
But
the way it looks like total indifference, more than blind intentioned,
frightening for this country and this people, the press and TV media
have this question: Where is the State Television? These activities
reflect the visual media of different, even leave
the space without any author brag value, then what is this massacre
media to Arvanites largest of the twentieth century?
The memorial's close friends and admirers of Aristidh
Kolia work great with this question even though we know it will not
receive any response from the disciples of Greece, - said at the close
of this commemoration, Traboini, because-he-said, so they have a
directive from Athens, just as his life quietly to go out and works of Aristidh
Kolias, but despite their efforts to cover truths to ban burning of
denial Arvanites and Cham people, that it will never occurs.
After us will take the relay others and Great Arvanites Aristidh Kolia works will shine forever.
