But what feels


As the author wardrobe closet remains an influential figure very large in Albanian culture, his views on this issue deserves more attention, although they may be recycled versions views expressed earlier.
I believe, most Albanians agree that Albanian identity is homogeneous, is the same, is part of European identity. There can be halved Albanian identity, nor Albanian identity truncated or modified because of a long captivity. We have known how to speak a foreign classic wardrobe closet captivity was the Ottoman slavery and domestic servitude has been with two faces: Albanian communist captivity and bondage Serbian communist Albania, with the captivity of the Yugoslav kingdom in Kosovo. There is a bad theory, I would say, that the claims of these serious accidents historical (5 centuries each other more than half a century) Albanian identity is modified, it is changed. To say this for a people is to make greater insult. A nation that changed the identity wardrobe closet of slavery is miserable, is deeply unfortunate and lacks dignity. wardrobe closet Why Balkan peoples did not alter the identity and why the Albanian people down somewhat this disaster and this serious violation? So it is not true. Albanian identity, wardrobe closet despite all the influences that have all Balkan countries during the Ottoman captivity of those remaining, unmodified. So all those fairy tales modified identity remain only fables, and not only that, but they are also harmful. A nation can live in both countries.
Thesis that the Albanian identity has changed in history Kadare calls "bad theory" - but without making any strong argument wardrobe closet to oppose, except comparison with other peoples identity in the Balkans, who allegedly did not change.
Indeed, Albanian identity, identity as a nation in the acquisition of the above, is the result of historical processes which have been subjected Albanians: survival against wardrobe closet Romanization, Christianity, Slavs and relations with Byzantium, relations with the Catholic Church and the West, relations with the Ottoman Empire, Islamization, Renaissance wardrobe closet and so on. In the history of national identity wardrobe closet kept being transmitted from one generation to another, and this transmission can not be performed without being influenced by historical circumstances, or without being modified by historical mutations inevitable.
I do not understand why qenka "greatest insult" for people to say that his identity has changed in history. Rather, change of identity in years is the effect of ever more normal for people to take part in historical processes. Only five centuries ago, the Albanians were all Christians, divided into principalities of the feud, connected in various alliances with the Serbs, Venetians, wardrobe closet the Vatican, Naples, and other Christian powers of time and, moreover, the called themselves "Arber". Over the centuries wardrobe closet XIV-XVI not only that these alliances were ended and strands of Christian ethnic Albanians began to shthurej, but also a large part of the population fore- fathers moved to Italy; even the part that was exactly what the carrier, performer and broadcaster main ethnic Albanian awareness.
With the consolidation of the Ottoman wardrobe closet government and the millet system, came another radical reformulation of the identity of Albanians - which consists of (1) change the name of Arbër the Albanian national, who for some coincides with Islamization; and (2) the integration of Albanians in political systems, social and cultural life of the Ottoman Empire, beginning the process of Islamization citizen originally population then, with time, spread in rural areas.
Ismail Kadare could mean that "all those fairy tales modified identity remain just tales", but it can hardly serve as an argument against the thesis that the identity of Albanians today is not the same as their ancestors time of Skanderbeg .
Albanian majority agree that the Albanian identity is homogeneous, wardrobe closet is the same, is part of European identity. There can be halved Albanian identity, nor Albanian identity truncated or modified because of a long captivity.
But what feels 'most' is quite irrelevant to the issue; since the Albanian identity is not of those issues that can be set by majority vote or by consensus, but can only be explained by scientific research and logical arguments, which most Albanians do not even understand at all. Albanian identity is a process, not a static given, it seems beyond doubt, despite the emotion with which speaks Ismail wardrobe closet Kadare. However, know that Albanian identity has changed in the course of centuries not tho
