TIRANA, October 7 /ATA/ – Deputy Prime Minister Albana Koçiu attended a commemoration ceremony organized by the Embassy of Israel in Tirana, marking the anniversary of the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel.
In her remarks, Koçiu paid tribute to the victims of the attack and strongly condemned these acts of terror, emphasizing that there is no justification or alternative perspective for terrorism.

She stressed that terrorism knows no borders and we must not remain silent in its face.
“Terrorism spares neither age, nation, nor innocence; therefore, it can never be minimized, justified, or met with silence,” Koçiu wrote.
Koçiu also emphasized that Albania stands with Israel and with all those who defend the right to live freely, in peace and in safety. “Albania stands with Israel and all those defending the right to live freely, in peace, and in safety. Today, more than ever, we must choose civilization over barbarism, freedom over fanaticism, and peace over terror. We choose life. We choose freedom. We choose peace,” wrote Koçiu. /m.q/r.e/p.s./
