The Greek Church Site About Getting 50% Of Albania

Church + State

The term “Northern Epirus” is relatively posterior. It was violently and arbitrarily imposed in 1913, when the Great Powers (England, France, Germany, Russia, Italy and Austro-Hungary) committed the great crime of the partitioning Epirus and detaching Northern Epirus from it, in order to donate it to Albania.

Up to then, and thousands of years before, Epirus was unified, one and undivided, with its boarders starting from Amvrakikos Gulf (Preveza) and ending to Genoussos River (Skoubi), in parallel to Via Egnatia, with its capital the ancient city of Nikopolis, close to Preveza. Beyond Genoussos River, there were mostly Illyrian tribes, yet in that area Hellenism was present as well, with Greek cities, mostly on the coasts of Adriatiki, with Epidamnus, i.e. the modern city of Dyrhacchion, as its capital.

It was in this unified Epirus that the Greek civilization was born, and it was there that Hellas matured. What we currently call Northern Epirus has always been an inseparable part of the undivided Epirus.

Thus, in the area of Northern Epirus, as in Epirus as a whole, pure Hellenism was settled since the ancient times, and long before Christ was born. Famous ancient cities were flourishing there, and the religious, domestic, national expressions of its inhabitants did not differ at all from those of the rest of Greeks. Numerous of ancient monuments come as a proof, and many great foreign scientists, such as archaeologists, linguists, historians and scientists of religion, maintain that in admiration; the same is true for many ancient historians, geographers and philosophers (Procopius 6th c. B.C., Skylax 6th c. B.C., Ecateus 6th c. B.C., Thucydides 5th c. B.C., Aristotle 4th c. B.C., Dionysius the Traveler 1st c. B.C. and Strabo 1st c. B.C.).

That site is not an official site for the Greek Orthodox Church dude. I can post you dozens of Albanian sites that show Greater Albania down to the Gulf of Arta

Down on the left of the map writes:

-Borders of Ipeiros according to ancient writers.
-Borders of Corfu protocol (independent Ipeiros 1914).
-Nowdays national borders.

None in Greece care for a greater Ipeiros or something like that.
