Thats not correct, if you go by that mentality, then every country in the world can claim a high number of people that belong to their respective countries. Because every country has seen its people move else where in the world. plus those "albanians" that were born and live abroad probably have also mixed blood from other nationalities too, so how "albanian " are they exactly? As an albanian, this albanian pride i see makes me laugh. The proudest ones are albanians living abroad and thanking god every day that THEY ARE NOT in albania.

In fact they hate it . When you see an American or an Australian waving their flag , what do you thing of that . Imagine the whole country doing that .

[@DangeloLive]

Albania is wise to keep a balanced stance between the declining West and the rising East. Historically, our problems have come from Western powers and our Christian Slavic and Greek neighbors. Now, the West needs Albania as it weakens, hoping to use us as a buffer against Serbia, whose main ally is Russia. However, we have never had issues with Russia. Instead of being drawn into the West’s conflicts, we should aim to be friends with everyone and enemies with no one. Our true and honest ally is Turkey, where many Albanians live, and we share deep spiritual, intellectual, and blood ties. Turkey is on its way to becoming the most powerful country in Europe in the next 10 years. We have given Turkey at least 20 Prime Ministers. Turkey’s founding father had Albanian blood. Our own founding fathers were educated in Turkey. Out of 85 M people in Turkey, about 16M have Albanian blood. There are more Albanians in Turkey than there are Albanians in the world combined. We do not need the Western transgender agendas or genocidal agendas; the West needs Albania. While they may be our allies, they have never truly known or cared for us. We should see Turkey as our strategic partner, Italy as our regional ally. The Italian and Turkish peoples admire each other. Albania can be a unique bridge between Italy and Turkey forming a wonderful and strategic bridge - Rome - Tirana - Istanbul. America is our international ally, but we need to keep in mind we are not very close and most Americans don’t know where Albania is even located. America is spread out throughout the globe - and at some point it can abandon its interests in the region. We also hope Germany will become a closer ally, but it first need to regain its independence from US influence. Albania is unique and should remain a bridge, not just another follower of the West. This unique position will allow us to thrive and protect our interests!

[@L.k201]

Look at clever man hire how giving us lot of valuable ideas how about the blood I mean 100 percent albanian blood spilled for 500 years should Albanians forget that how did all the Albanians ended up in your turkey not mine Italy and all around the world trying to escape ottoman barbarism we had enough of spineless people like you and stop putting religion on this issue Albanians we're Christians before they were forced to change through torture throughout ethnic cleansing though most horrible ways shame on you how consider them as big aleat shame on those people how forget they're painful past shame on those people how walk on our national heroes blood and you forgot to mention when they left they left you in the middle of no where no state no borders no nothing they sold your skin to Serbs and greeks you brain washed spineless person they forced all men's flee and fight to build they're state they left Albanian womes fight Serbs greeks montenegro and Bulgarians you seriously disgust me I want to screeeeeeeeem loud I fill deep pain for my mother land filled with spineless brainwashed pigs

Look we live in a time where we the Albanians have a choice… yes Europe through out history hasn’t favoured us although we always have done the outmost to protect it from the ottoman empire the hans empire etc we have fought wars in other European countries to help Europe be what they are today! But you must never forget that Europe and the USA decided to finally see what our values are and what we have done for them especially the USA hence we have Kosova and half of Macedonia is ours we have peace and freedom and are the pillar of stability in such a chaotic region!! Don’t forget that world wars were started because of the region mainly Serbia and their fascist ideology!!! Yes Europe isn’t perfect and will never be but we are European and will always be! We don’t need praises to protect what we are!!! PS Turkey is an ally no matter what as most of the military is controlled by the Albanians that live in turkey! Don’t forget when we were going thru a almost a civil war and Greece wanted to use that opportunity to take south of Albania, Turkey told them that they will not get involved but they also couldn’t control the pilots of their aircraft jets as they were Albanian

[@albania8982]

@rotnem0017 yes Turkey is our ally as well but we don't need to be Muslim...Remember Gjergj Kastrioti and our ancestors fought hard against ottoman occupation and that's the thanks they got from their people that converted to Islam...its not our culture or religion. Turkey converted Albania and that's why we are where we are today

THE BEST LEADER IN THE WORLD! He has the vision and always aim for peace and dialog as solution to all sort of problems. He literally sacrifices his family time for Albania, is the first to wake up and work hard and the last to sleep. There is no weekend for him and after following for a long time seeing almost all his appearances -- very hard to keep up though -- it's easy to understand that his strongest "weapon" against opposition is his hard work and until now, there is no-one that works that hard and that much.
