Famed Albanian Author Dares the Speak the Macedonian Name in Geece

Since Kadare showed solidarity with Macedonia in the lion's den of Athens, I'm going to buy his book!

Makfax vesnik:

"Kadare speaks out the truth about Macedonia in the middle of Athens

Tirana /26/01/ 12.26

Albanian writer Ismail Kadare caused 'a diplomatic incident' in Athens by using the name of Macedonia, which Greeks consider to be a part of their national heritage."

Athens's Mayor Nikitas Kaklamanis welcomed the Albanian writer at the beginning of a book promotion event, but as soon as Kadare used the word Macedonia referring to the Republic of Macedonia, Kaklamanis left.

Kadare visited Athens to promote his books "Agamemnon's Daughter" and "The Heir" translated in Greek language, Albanian daily "Shqip" reported.
