The family of Damin Damin, from the village of Mazrek in the municipality of Margëllic, experienced the ethnic cleansing early on, just because they were Albanians. Parga and Margelliçi registered 620 killed, as a result of ethnically based massacres.
His father, Mero Damini, was one of the thousands of Albanian men who were exiled to the island of Medellin in 1940, on the pretense that they could help the Italians. He was executed on that island.
"A soldier asks, are you Albanian or Greek?" What if I say I'm Greek will you believe me he said? They said no and killed him. Someone from our village brought a belt of trousers as a sign", said Damian Damini, a survivor of the Çameria massacre.
Damini reveals that the violence he saw with his own eyes is still fresh in his mind.
"They looked at the pregnant women, they told them to come out and see what kind of child you have in your belly, and they cut them open with a knife, such terrible torture and all this wherever it happened, in Parga, in Igumenica, in Filat, was broadcast with horns and people took their way to in the north", said Damini.
According to him, whoever admitted to being Greek was not touched.
"From our village, who knows how long they stay, that's all they wanted to say, I'm Greek, who has this Greece?" We are Greek. A part of those who did not accept them fled", he said./ InsideStory
