THE EFFORTS OF FOREIGN NATIONALIST CIRCLES TO MISUSE RELIGION IN ALBANIA PAN-SLAVISM - HELLENISM AS A RELIGIOUS ETHNICITY

This work treats mainly different aspects of Balkan politics and religious-political methods the Balkan states followed to get as much as possible from Albanian territories in the early XIX Century.  Albania’s neighbouring conuntries misused religion to achieve their shovinist goals and on the other hand clerics were out of their spiritual domain and served the same shovinist objectives.  Those led to a wave of ethnical cleansing in all Albanian territories and neighbouring countries.  This material provides historical facts and documents on the forms and methods used to annex Albanian territories.  It also provides descriptive, historical, analytical and critical views on the treated events.
