ALBANIA AND MANKIND
Once George Gordon Byron in his masterpiece Childe Harold, second song, wrote the wonderful and emblematic verses about Albanians. In reality Albania was well known even earlier due to, the great internationalized name of its hero George Castriot Scanderbeg. This country has always deserved the attention of the world today more than ever the attention of mankind has turned to Albanians. Albania is experiencing a purgatory with its development and problems. Albania is already open and free. Albanian people are struggling for their final revival. Between Albanian people and mankind there is no longer an iron curtain - no division walls. Albanians constitute a vital population with a high level of natural intelligence. But they have no end of shortages and negative heritage from the past. Linkage with the world is an indication of the continuous emancipation of Albanians. Albanians are determined not to depart from the development and not to shut themselves in their shells. Albanians are an expression of mankind to that amount mankind is an expression of humanism and equality of peoples.
Albanians constitute an ancient and new population with a particular and rare language, the only of its kind among the Indo-European languages, but which constitutes a first-class cultural asset. Albanians are a population of space and motion. The seas constitute their space. Just like climate and life itself, the seas also influence their culture. Albanians are heading to the third millennium together with the phantasmagoric flashes of legends and myths from earliest times. They are advancing and removing themselves from the mistakes, set-backs and backwardness. They are striding forward never to turn back.
