At the request of the Chairman of the Party for Justice, Integration and Unity Shpëtim Idrizi, the Parliamentary session of July 3 started with a minute of silence for the victims of the massacres by the Greek chauvinists in 1945.

Idrizi said to the Parliament that 80 years have passed since 1944, when the residents of Chameria were massacred and displaced.

“Genocide has no time. I say, the memory of a nation is greater than that of a man. It is said that a people who forget, dies. We have defied oblivion. We do not blame the Greek people, but the politics of the time and today’s stance”, said Idrizi.

“Greece maintains the law of war with Albania. European Greece denies the existence of the Chams”, said Idrizi.

Idrizi noted that no one can violate the right to life.

He asked Speaker Lindita Nikolla to mark this day every year because this is a law approved by this same Parliament in 1994, as well as an obligation of the government against the Resolution for the Albanians of Chameria.

June 27 is the day recognized by the Parliament of Albania by Law no. 7839, dated 30.06.1994 “On the announcement of June 27 in the national calendar as the “Day of the Genocide against the Albanians of Chameria by the Greek chauvinists and the erection of a memorial”.

Also, according to Idrizi, there is also a resolution approved in 2012 on the issue of the Albanians of Chameria that is binding on every government./p.s./
