From Athens, Prime Minister Edi Rama has requested the repeal of the law of war. In his speech in front of Albanian immigrants, Rama described as absurd the fact that this law is still in force.
Consequently, according to him, this issue will have to be resolved as soon as possible. The head of the government says that he is convinced that this solution can come if there is good will from the Greek side.
" The law of war between Greece and Albania is still in force, that law of November 10, 1940, determines what is done with the properties and citizens of countries in a state of war, in 1947 Greece ratified the peace treaty with Italy, while with Albania the decree of the law of war and the consequences of the law of war remain in force, today all day, even though in 1998 they approved the friendship treaty, how is it possible between 2 countries that have signed a friendship treaty, that are together in NATO, that it has not been abolished the state of war together with the consequences of a martial law abolished 84 years ago. In these years, my government and I have tried to remove this absurdity from the table of our relations, we have also tried to address as fairly as possible, with understanding, all the remaining issues between the two states because I am convinced that if they have good will, all issues can be resolved without another 84 years ," said Rama.
