Let's face it, the memorial for the fallen of the Coup d'etat in Turkey, built in Tirana by Erion Veliaj, is unacceptable from all points of view. I believe that there is no need to give reasons here, because understandable things do not need explanation, especially when the reason is within them. I'm just going to speculate, with an "if". It is possible that this article will arouse many reactions, but since I say things bluntly and without self-censorship, I welcome objections, but only well-argued ones. We Albanians have a common history of about 500 years with the Ottoman Empire.
The superpower of that time Cambodia Telegram Number Data would surely conquer us, as it conquered many countries in Asia, Africa, the Mediterranean and the Balkans. It was the time of empires, where the world was governed in large territories, and the nation state was not recognized. Good or bad, in the economic, social and cultural circumstances where the Albanian population was at that time, it is completely unreasonable for the past centuries to be judged from the positions of today's nationalists. Because, before the Ottoman conquest, Albania and Albanians did not exist, that is, not in the concept that we have today about the nation and the state.
At that time there were Albanian principalities, where local rulers governed their provinces, while Albanian lands were regularly occupied by the Kingdom of Bulgaria, the Serbian Kingdom, the Byzantine Empire, the Angevins, the Venetians, the Greeks, etc. The preceding four centuries, that is, before the Ottoman conquest, Durres, Vlora, Shkodra and Kruja passed from one occupation to another. The fact that most of the toponyms are in the Slavic language shows that the invaders had a purpose; history to be written according to them.
