Edi Rama

In the meeting he held in Athens with immigrants, Prime Minister Edi Rama mentioned the time when Albanian immigrants suffered and faced challenges every day

A said that the Albanians also changed their names given to them by their mothers and that they faced brutal oppression by the arrogance of the rich neighbor.

He emphasized that the Albanians of Greece never gave up and triumphed.

Rama's word:

Let the Greeks and Albanians be convinced that our destinies are inseparable. To be convinced that the answers of the future cannot be found in the past but in the present, in the fates of the connections of the Greeks of Albania with the Albanians of Albania, with and the Greeks of Greece.

You came to this ancient cradle of ancient Greek civilization to escape the ruins of the communist regime. You climbed mountains, you slept on benches in the streets, you went out before the light came out, to wait in the squares, like horses, in the bazaar of the live thing, the servants who took you for a black job, you crushed your back and bloodied your hands with the hardest jobs .

You faced all kinds of brutal oppression of the arrogance of the rich neighbor by rich neighbors, you worked 2-3 jobs for days that never ended, eating one meal a day, but you lived the humiliation of the black brooms of the late 20th century. You were torn from your homes with body clothes, like in old movies.

Many of you changed the names given to you by your mother and father to get the work documents and registered your children in school, you Albanians of Greece saw the children drowning in tears because they were the best in school but they were not given the right to flag ceremony, the child's fault was that he had come from the nest of two proud Albanians.

But here you are, you Albanians of Greece never gave up and you triumphed. Because you are the blood and soul of a nation that did not see and did not remove from this sky, but no power and injustice could undo it from the face of this earth. Step by step you emerged from the darkness of survival as stigmatized residents of this country into the light of life as equal citizens of this country. With your values ??of the given word, of the finished work, you are no longer a stranger in this country.

You made your place in Greek society, gaining the respect of your employer, the trust of your neighbor and the dignity of a person. You came to fight and you won. Never forget that by law and by custom Greece is yours today as much as it is the Greeks themselves. Together with the Greeks, you Albanians are the Europeans of Greece.

Today you have here your houses, shops, businesses, well-educated children in the Greek education system, you have your friendly circle, where the Greek and the Albanian are no longer distinguished. Your contribution to the Greek economy with your honest work and the taxes you pay, and meanwhile you return more and more often to your homes in Albania, where you have taken care of your elderly parents all these years./ CNA
