Erdogan reminds Rama of the forgotten 1990 bill...
Although Rama considers him a brother, when it comes to money, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan does not forgive him. While in the political corridors there is talk that there has been a rift between Tirana and Turkey after the arms deal with Israel, the Turkish authorities have returned to an old debate.
According to Turkish media , Albania still owes Turkey payment for electricity purchased in 1990. According to official data, despite the passage of 35 years and the close relations between the two governments, the debt has not been repaid and remains active in the Turkish state's accounts.
According to documents included in the report by the Supreme Audit Office of Turkey (Sayıştay), responsibility for this debt has been repeatedly transferred between four state-owned energy institutions due to ongoing restructuring of the Turkish energy system. Initially, the payment was to be made to the Turkish Electricity Authority (TEK), then to TEAŞ, later to TETAŞ and since 2018, the responsibility has been placed in the accounts of EÜAŞ, the current state-owned energy production and trading company.
Since 2007, the Turkish Foreign Ministry has requested that the debt be paid in installments, and several attempts at a diplomatic solution were made in 2017, 2018 and 2020 through the Turkish Embassy in Tirana. But, according to internal Ankara documents, there has been no official response from the Albanian authorities, despite the fact that a diplomatic note verbale was also submitted.
At the last meeting of the Albania-Turkey Cooperation Council on February 20, 2024, the debt issue was requested to be included again on the agenda by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Most recently, on April 29, 2025, EÜAŞ has again addressed the Ministry of Energy to know if there are any developments, but the official response remains the same: “The process is being followed.”
The report of the Supreme State Audit Office in Turkey recommends intensifying efforts to collect this historic debt from Albania, emphasizing that the issue must be resolved definitively.
This situation comes at a time when relations between Tirana and Ankara are presented as "excellent" at the political level, especially after the personal rapprochement between President Erdoğan and Prime Minister Edi Rama. But this case shows that political friendship has not undone Turkey's economic interest in its unfulfilled obligations to Albania. It also raises suspicions that there have been recent cracks in Rama-Erdoğan relations. /Pamphlet
