Has Edi Rama turned Albania into the "second Turkey" in the Balkans?

In public, he wears a semi-western 'qyrq', although he does not remove the qitjans from his body, to show that he has the symbolism of the old shalwars.

Arjan Çani, who is already exposed as a supporter of Greek politics, said an interesting fact that is worth discussing.

He said that "Athens considers Edi Rama's Tirana as a second Turkey in the Balkans". A seeming provocation, but when seen in detail, there are enough reasons to analyze.

Edi Rama, when he lost the 2009 elections, which was a heavy blow for him, made a very strong shift.

He connected directly with Rexhep Taip Erdogan, precisely when he saw that his impact in the inauguration of the Kalimash tunnel was one of the factors that brought Sali Berisha's victory.

Precisely, in June 2009, three days after the elections, Edi Rama went on a secret mission to Istanbul, where he met a person close to Erdogan, who informed him that Sali Berisha's agreement with Kostas Karamanlis for the sea was a great loss not only for Albania, but also for Turkey.

In that discussion, where it is said that Erdogan's right-hand man, Ibrahim Kallen, was also present, Rama was asked for long-term support. And he has accepted.

The first test was the request to the Constitutional Court to overturn the Tirana-Athens Sea Agreement. Where SP has lobbied to the extent of 30% and Ankara the rest.

It was the time when Athens was experiencing the most serious situation in its economic and political history, and Rama took advantage of this, while Ankara was on the offensive of economic development.

After that everything is chronicle.

In 2013, Edi Rama signed the strategic agreement with Edogan, which since then has turned Tirana into a political appendage of Ankara.

In reality, today Albania is politically a second Turkey in the Balkans, as it votes the same, acts the same, and of course receives the benefits of being under the aegis of a regional power.

But the problem here is not that Albania is a close ally of Turkey. After all, the alliance is a mutual relationship, so I give and take.

Albania is not just an ally of Turkey, but an environment where Turkey has a dominant cultural influence, even more than that.

Edi Rama has agreed to have an alliance with Erdogan's so-called congregation, which is not a pro-Turkey lobbying group, but in the full sense of the word, another Turkey in the Balkans.

Erdogan's strategy wanted to have a small Turkey in Albania, in addition to Sarajevo, Mostar, Prizren, Gjakova, Skopje, etc.

The infamous Preza rally in 2017, which was also one of Skanderbeg's strongholds, is the most frightening example of this strategy. The Turkish TIKA of Hakan Fidani, who today is Erdogan's right wing, built a mosque in Preza, which returned to the base of that area, where the castle was the center. They tried and are trying to do it in Rozafa Castle or in Gjirokastra, where they want the epicenter to be not the castle but the mosque.

And here Arjan Çani and Athina are right.

Edi Rama has turned Albania into the second Turkey in the Balkans, which means that the consequences will be more frightening. Where we are actually dealing with a proxy influence, like Russia in its pro areas or Iran with Hamas and Hezbollah.

And here there is not only a political problem, but also an identity problem.

Did Edi Rama ask the Albanians to turn Albania into a post-Ottoman influence? NO! In public, he even wears a semi-western 'qyrq', although he does not remove the qitjans from his body, to show that he has the symbolism of the old shalwars.

If it is voted in Albania, according to all the possibilities, it will not get a political consensus, but it plays with the addition that Erdogan's congregation of about 70-80 thousand votes makes to the 700 thousand socialists.

Meanwhile, in the cultural aspect, the impact is even more severe, as it exposes the most pro-Western country of the Balkans to a clearly oriental influence. And the damage is done, despite the majority not supporting it.

The fact is that the people of the Erdogan detachment have stronger political, administrative and media access than the pro-Westerners in this country.

Today, in 11 governments, Albania is becoming more and more a small Turkey, and this without the desire of the Albanians. If there will be a clear and intelligent opposition, it should start the fight with Edi Rama's regime here. From identity! And support is provided by Rilindës, as well as the new generation and even Ismail Kadare!  / Pamphlet
