The Himara Community
Tirana, Albania

Press Release

The Himara Community, calls as false speech, of the Albanian Presidenit, Bujar Nishani, held in ONU

"Human rights and freedoms, starting from the identity, religion, family and property"

The Himara Community, is deeply disappointed by the false statements of the Presdent of Albania, Bujar Nishani, for his declaration: "Albania, is a champion of human rights and freedoms", held at the session of United Nations organizations in New York.

The reason why Albania is not a champion of these rights, in reality, is obvious: Albania, has not conducted a fair and transparent to its Population Census process, for self declaration of religion and nationality of its own citizens.

The Census of 2011, was conducted under a nationalist pressure against the Greek National Minority, and the second, has not managed to return of properties of the Greek Community living in all areas in the south of Albania (in Northern Epirus), especially in the Himara Region.

In Albania, have killed about 8500 people, only for the issue of the property rights, since 1991.
