Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj revealed “a secret” during reception this afternoon, saying that Nikolaos Arvanitidis, better known by his stage name Nikos Vertis, is an Arvanites on his grandfather’s side.

“I am very happy that Nikos Vertis is finally visiting Tirana! The preparations for tomorrow’s concert are going just fine and we are looking forward to seeing you performing. I am convinced it will be an unforgettable night. What you don’t actually know that his stage name is Nikos Vertis, but his true name is Nikos Arvanitidis. For all Arvanites, but also for those knowing history of Albanians in Greece and our relations, your family name is a reminder of the fact that there are more things uniting than dividing us. Except for the political games, arts, music and coexistence of our nations are what matter most,” Veliaj said.

On his part, Greek singer said he was really impressed by Tirana.

To date, he has released five studio albums along with one CD single, and two special edition CD/DVD albums. Thelo na me nioseis (I Want You to Feel Me) is the most successful track from Vertis and it has reached 195 million views on YouTube since its release and is now believed to be the most popular Greek song ever.
