Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Albania signs deal with Turkey to bring 30,000 Muslim migrants to area where 120,000 Greeks live

Apr 29, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Demographic jihad: the refugees and jihadists “will be used by Rama for demographic alteration of the Greek population of the region […] as has happened historically, it is very likely that gangs will be organized independently or led by agents who will ravage Greek homes and villages. In this way, they will force the Greek population to leave so that they can permanently change the demographic composition in Northern Epirus.”

“Albania plans to replace Greeks in Northern Epirus with jihadists and Turkish intelligence officers,” by Paul Antonopoulos, Greek City Times, April 14, 2020:

Albanian media has exposed Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama’s deal with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to relocate illegal immigrants and refugees in Turkey to Albania.

Recently, Tirana and Ankara signed a defence co-operation plan, with many in Albania and Greece believing that the issue of relocating migrants and refugees from Turkey to Albania is also included. Details of the plan have not been made public, but a part of the deal includes “activities that the two countries’ defence ministries are committed to completing by 2020 in order to strengthen and intensify security and defence interaction.”

According to Albanian media, there is an agreement between Rama and Erdoğan to relocate 30,000 refugees and illegal immigrants from Turkey to Albania in the region of Northern Epirus where up to 120,000 Greeks live. Although Greece liberated Northern Epirus during the First Balkan War (1912-13), the Great Powers gifted the region to the new Albanian state. Greece would once again liberate the region in World War Two, but it was once again gifted to Albania by the Great Powers.

The Greeks in Northern Epirus have always lived in persecution by the Albanian state with their schools constantly closed, properties confiscated and religious ceremonies harassed by Albanian police. Now it appears that Albania wants to continue weakening the Greek identity in the region by collaborating with Turkey to relocate refugees and illegal immigrants, changing the demographics of the area from being majority Greek.

One of the main Greek towns in Northern Epirus, Himara, is also the namesake of the main Greek news portal about the region, and its editor Thodoris Goumas spoke with Protothema. The editor of Himara.gr said:

“The Albanian prime minister’s actions can only be described as suspicious. Without any transparency or public statement, we learn from leaks that there is an agreement with Turkey to host 30,000 migrants. It is known that Albania not only does not have hosting infrastructure, but after the earthquake that hit the country, it is also facing an economic problem.”…

There is little doubt that Albania and Turkey are collaborating to not only change the demographics of the Greek-majority region, but to also open another front for illegal immigrants to enter the European Union (Greece) illegally….

In writing for SLPress, Lieutenant Colonel of the Greek military, Christos Pougialis said “Officially, of course, the 30,000 will be immigrants and refugees, some of whom will have their families with them. But beyond that, Turkey is sure to send its own agents among them to guide and control the situation. Turkey will send some ‘retired’ jihadists from those fighting alongside them in Syria, who will be with weapons.”

Just as Turkish intelligence agents played a key role in inciting violence on the Greek-Turkey border, they will now be able to create tensions on the Greek-Albanian border.

The Lieutenant Colonel in his article on SLPRESS also said that the refugees and jihadists “will be used by Rama for demographic alteration of the Greek population of the region […] as has happened historically, it is very likely that gangs will be organized independently or led by agents who will ravage Greek homes and villages. In this way, they will force the Greek population to leave so that they can permanently change the demographic composition in Northern Epirus.”

    This is serious. Their main intention is conversion of old culture of Greece into radicalized Islam. Since they are capable enough to feed these migrants then why are they asking them to relocate to Greece. If they were not capable enough then why did they ask migrants to relocate from Syria to Turkey?

      Northern Epirus now falls in Albania. Many ethnic Greeks live there, and have since ancient times.

      This is intended to either overwhelm this largely Christian population, or else cause them to flee to Greece itself.

    • Save Europe says

      Totally agree 👍

      With Albania not even being part of the EU, they cannot argue that they were forced to take in an allocation by Merkel and Macron. This is a very deliberate move to re-Islamise the Balkans.

        Yes, this is Kosovo 2.0. The Serbs know what it’s like to suddenly have tens of thousands of muslim Albanians “relocate” into their ancestral homeland… Long story short, it is no longer Serbian and, according to recent Albanian history books, never has been.

    I wonder when the people of Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand will start to question their politicians on the question of “why” this forced immigration has come about? There is no benefit to the receiving Nations to do so other than fulfilling & furthering the goals of the International Banking Cartel and massive payoffs to their corrupt compliant elected officials. I think we all know what the results will be.

    A simple clause, “failure to assimilate”, should be all that’s needed to make host populations feel better about letting immigrants in AND sending them right back where they came from at the first sign of trouble.
    Any politician that has a problem with such a clause is a Globalist joke that needs to be hounded out of office at the first opportunity.

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 29, 2020 at 8:13 pm

      Henry, Muslim thugs will assimilate to Islamic Albania just fine. This is intended to harm the largely Christian ethnic Greeks who have live there for centuries–long before the invasion of Muslims.

    I think this is Turkey attempting to divert Greek attention and resources away from the Mediterranean, where Turkey intends seizing several Greek islands to extend its territorial waters to such an extent that it is capable of disrupting Cypriot and Israeli oil and gas activities, but also strengthen its puppet regime in occupied Cyprus. Turkey is like a pickpocket. It doesn’t target a victim, but instead strikes out randomly in all direction on the off-chance of getting lucky.

    It would also not surprise me at all if the EU has a hand in the Turkey-Albania deal.

    It seems to me its time for some serious pre-emptive action in eastern Turkey to remind Erdogan of where his business is.

    Soon enough they will be marrying 4 wives, have 20 children per household and in 2 generations The Greeks will outnumbered. The same tactic is taking place all over the west. With the full support of the welfare system in each and every state.
    Let’s hope and pray NASA will start colonize Mars soon.

    • Henry Schalk says

      Apr 29, 2020 at 3:03 pm

      They’ll most probably be sending many more and it’ll take less than 2 generations.

    Apr 29, 2020 at 2:31 pm

    I’d be happy if the Greeks were to march in and annex the territory.

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 29, 2020 at 8:17 pm

      Albania is majority-Muslim. I don’t think Greece would want more Muslims.

      I wish the Greeks could take Northern Epirus, though.

      • Henry Schalk says

        Apr 30, 2020 at 5:16 am

        Much preferable, of course, if the Greeks were to act before the arrival of the Muslims.

    Greetings:

    I wonder if the media will refer to it as “Greek flight” if and when it happens like they like to refer to the “White flight” from the Bronx in the ’60s and ’70s.

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 29, 2020 at 8:18 pm

      Greeks have already been fleeing Albania for some time. This would certainly be a reason for more to flee, though.

  10. GreekEmpress says

    Apr 29, 2020 at 3:35 pm

    This is bad news—Albania is majority Muslim and a member of the OIC. Rama is a socialist. This is more demographic jihad and the Greeks in Northern Epirus are in for it. And of course you’ll never hear word one about it from the mainstream media.
    Another step toward Erdogan’s new caliphate.

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 29, 2020 at 8:19 pm

      Grimly good analysis, GreekEmpress.

    All this when the EU is starting talks with Albania about joining the bloc.That should work out well!

      “Accession of Albania to the European Union”

      The EU does *not* need a Muslim-majority country.

    ………………………..

    Repulsive, but no surprise. Albania is majority-Muslim, but it is *never* enough.

    Migration without assimilation is invasion.

    Please send more migrants. Our soap factories are running out of raw materials!

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 30, 2020 at 7:54 pm

      What utter claptrap. No one is doing this to Muslims. What grotesque calumny.

  15. Loki says

    Apr 30, 2020 at 2:06 am

    I think we should start spreading this rumor.
    Europe needs immigrants.
    We need them to come to Europa so we can use them to make soap.
    And candles. And lampshades…
    So please come to Europe.
    We really need you.
    I need a new lampshade. So please come.

    Think about this every time some seditious snake in the MSM describes the Turkish Muslims in Kosovo – the heartland of Orthodox Serbia – as “ethnic Albanians!” The real ethnic Albanians were Greek Christians who were genocided out of existence by the invasive Turks, over 500 years ago. Only their flag remains of them.

    • Jaunters says

      May 17, 2020 at 7:01 pm

      What a stupid comment. If this was the case Albanians wouldn’t be speaking the Albanian language now. There is also no record of a genocide happening there at that time. To top it off, look up genetics of Albanians, they visited with their neighbours, not Turks.

    its another jihad–as with yugo–war will follow

    albania is to join eu soon

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 30, 2020 at 7:56 pm

      I hope not–but it does seem likely. The EU should never have considered Muslim Albania.

    Apr 30, 2020 at 11:03 am

    Scum!I didnt hear any good story from Albanians(i knew Bosniaks,Serbs,Croats-bad and good)but from ALbanians only about Drugs,Prostitution(in the 90s they take the Red Light Areas by storm with their Shootings etc-At Hamburg the Police were happy when Hells Angels take it back but now the HA are also full of Muslims)or marry german naiv girls for the passport and then showed their real face.
