Koritsa was liberated and held by Hellenic troops since Dec. of 1912 and its purely Hellenic character was fully acknowledged by your own government, hence why they signed the Protocol of Corfu on May 5th 1914 which allowed it to be incorporated in the state of Autonomous Epirus.

The protocol of Korfu was imposed,what do you expect from a one year old country,with foreing enemy armies all around its territory.At least in the treaty of London Korca was given to its true owners not like south epir and its cities an villages.Im sure that in case of greek success there,now half of Korcars would live in turkey,exchanged with brandnew greek "epirotes",and the other half in Albania dreaming for their hometown.
Btw the article is really interesting,it shows a small part of the greek repression in the occupied areas.

I would say its purely Pelasgic while the real Hellenes(Dorians &/or Heraclides) are just an Illyrian tribe "grown up" on the Pelasgic soil.



By the way, there is no Greek-speakers in Korca, just orthodox Albanians who would be offended to be called byzantine Greeks.
