Albanian ultra-nationalists recently created a new Facebook page that is totally dedicated to slamming and insulting Greece and its people. Its name "Fuck Greece" show the Greek and Serbian flags burning, and calls out to facebookers who hate Greece to actually state their two cents and press like! Obviously the page is the "brainstorm" of several buffoons who want to stir commotion in Greek-Albanian relations, which at best are complicated and fragile.
From what it looks like, the page will not exist for long, but it is a small example of what to look for as some fascist groups in this country begin mapping out their strategy in what they hope will one day make way for a "Great Albania". One of these groups as we all know are the Chams.
Following the Italian occupation of Albania in 1939, the Chams became a prominent propaganda tool for the Italians and irredentist elements among them became more vocal. As a result, on the eve of the Greco-Italian War, the adult male Cham population was deported by the Greek authorities to internment camps. After the occupation of Greece, large parts of the Muslim Cham population collaborated with Italian and German forces.
This fueled resentment among the local Greek population and in the aftermath of World War II the entire Muslim Cham population had to flee to Albania. Most Chams settled in Albania, while
others formed émigré communities in Turkey and the United States, and today their descendants continue to live in these countries.
Since the fall of Communism in Albania, Chams have campaigned for right of return to Greece and restoration of confiscated properties.
Since we are on the subject of Great Albanian and instability in the Balkans, it would be nice to note that Winston Churchill, one of the most important political figures of the twentieth century once said that the Balkans produce more history than they can consume. Indeed, with the conflicts hitting the region throughout the 1990s, his statement was proven much too often true.
Folks, believe it or not there are some policy makers in Albania, Europe and in the US that actually support the idea of a "natural", or "greater" Albania of one state for all ethnic Albanians in the Balkans, which would include parts of the territories of FYROM, Montenegro, Greece, and Serbia.
The unification of an even larger area into a unique territory under Albanian authority had been theoretically conceived by the League of Prizren, an organization of the 19th century whose goal was to unify the Albanian inhabited lands (and other regions) into a single autonomous Albanian Vilayet within the Ottoman Empire................
