Scenes from the protest
Visho Ajazi, former head of the State Intelligence Service, gave his opinion on whether or not there are hostile groups involved in the civic protests that are now in their 24th day.
"I have seen the protest like all other citizens, in the sense that it is a civil right, a right ratified in the Constitution to go out and protest about what you do not agree with. It is a kind of emancipation that everyone has welcomed. Regarding the infiltration of foreign groups, it is a little difficult to pronounce because, firstly, it is very difficult to identify these things. Secondly, it is the work of the services that work with the "background" of all these activities ," said the former head of SHISH in a link for the show "Off the Record" on A2CNN.
"Regarding the Iranian intervention, for example, in this activity I can say from personal experience that during the time I was in office as director of the service, there were activities of Iranian services. At that time, I received several times at his request the former ambassador of Iran, who claimed that the Mujahideen had a lot of suicide bombers who were ready to come and blow up the Iranian Embassy. That the Iranian services have been active in Albania is not new. This has been going on for a long time and is partly related to the fact that the Mujahideen are based in Albania. They are the fiercest opponents of the Iranian regime. You know very well that there was a major cyber attack on Albania. At that time, it was said that the cyber attacks were carried out precisely from the Mujahideen camp. If senior state officials have declared these things, the first thing to do should be to declare it to the intelligence and counterintelligence services in this case, but also to other security services. So, "I'm sure they must have received information because otherwise they remain just rumors and rumors serve no one ," added Visho Ajazi.
