Ioannina became apart of the Greek state on Feburary the 21st 1913 following the defeat of the Ottoman army and its Albanian battalions.

Does ALbanian history agree with this?Or do they say that they were fighting the Turks and the Greeks at the same time??

Albanians had nationalist organisations which wanted independence from Turkish rule and Greek influence of course, but it doesnt change the fact that they were a major element in Turkish armies in Europe since the middle ages and this was certainly also the case during the Epirot campaigns of the Balkan wars.

For the Greeks (who have always been majority in the area) it is liberation.

THats what you get for supporting the Turks back then instead of seeing what everyone else could see-that the Ottomans were weak and were about to disappear from the BAlkans.
STop blaming others for your embarassing shortsightedness.

I guess the world was the right way up, and all was right in it, in 1941 then TirAlb?
