Albania will continue to shelter Mojahedin (PMOI/MEK) - PM Edi Rama tells NATO press conference

Описание: January 29, 2020—Albania continues to shelter Mojahedin (PMOI/MEK) Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama stated in a press conference with NATO Secretary-General
During a press conference with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, Rama said that Albania has sheltered the Mojahedin and will continue to do so because humanity is part of this country's tradition, and has also brought to its attention the help given to Jews after World War II.
Edi Rama:
"Albania is proud to have offered shelter to a few thousand people which lives were threatened by the regime in Tehran. It's part of our tradition. It is part of what we are. We were the only country that after the second world war had more Jews than before, so we know very well that for Jews, Albania was a safe home during the time of the Holocaust. So, we did it as a humanitarian operation. It was not a statement against the regime frankly, but we are really not at all going to change our tradition and also our approach towards these people who need to be protected by a regime who is a threat for their lives. And that's for their malicious activities in Albania we've been very clear. We have expelled their ambassador first, and now lately, other people that were involved in activities that are out of the diplomatic regulated mission and we will continue to stand strong. And on the other side, we are not alone in that, so we are part of a big alliance, and this operation is an operation that has made it been made hand-to-hand with the United States."
