Pastor Akil Pano called on President Bajram Begaj to convene the National Security Council to address the issue of the creation of a sovereign Bektashian state in Tirana.
"Our constitution defines that Albania is an undivided territory. The Constitution must be changed, therefore this story will not end within a month or 6 months. It is not only about the violation of the Constitution, but it is an idea for the fragmentation of Albania. Another precedent is created, that if Albania will create a state within its territory, what happens to the south of Albania? Minorities have the right to ask for separation ", declared Akil Pano on A2 CNN.
"Encroachment on the territory is national treason! It should be handled by commissions that deal directly with attacks on the Constitution and the Motherland. The President of the Republic must convene the National Security Council to address this issue. With the establishment of a state within the state, even a religious one, an international paradigm opens that places Albania in a different relationship with Iran and Turkey, with the countries where there are Bektashis. There are millions of Bektashites in Iran, and the political center of this population is located in Albania", emphasized Pastor Akil Pano.
