Tirana. The Albanian government called on Greece Monday to tackle with the anti-Albanian attitudes in the Greek army after a video was posted on the Internet, showing Greek soldiers singing an insulting song about Albanians, AP reported. The Greek Defense Ministry said that it was checking the authenticity of the video.
“We definitely condemn such phenomena”, spokesman for the general army staff said. “Such activities, if they really happened, don’t reflect the feelings of the Greek people to our neighbouring country”, the spokesman added.

Screw albania and albanians. These scum do not belong in Europe they belong back in Turkey and Azerbaijan.

What phenomena. Last time I checked Albanians are despised almost as much as Gypsies in Montenegro, Serbia, Vardarska, Greece and Italy. Every country around them hates them.

I surely don't know what this scumbags want since every normal European knows thay are a threat and the cancer of the continent.
Their politics are based on "great Albania", politics of claiming other peoples land and falsifying history.
As their concept of "great Albania" also claims the land of Greeks, this "call" should be ignored.

Oy , I thought these are Serbian characteristics?

Well, greeks are not the best neighbours either ...

Wiki pretends that, there are between 65 000 and 5 000 000 shqiptars (albanians) in Turkey. If one trusts in that it will come out either that Turkey's census is very untrustworthy (btw, just like the turks themselves) or that albanians and turks are hardly distinguishable...After all for godsake that is a range of more than 7000 % ...

Well I say it's a Croatian characteristic. I've heard Croatians claim Tesla was an ethnic Croat and that Marco Polo was a Croat and other crap like that.

Of course their census is unworthy. If they did a census it would turn out that most of their population is kurdish, arab, persian, greek, armenian, georgian, descendants of christian children stolen from their families in Europe when they ruled large areas of Europe (these children primarily being Serbs, Bulgarians, Romanians and Greeks) as well as other groups.

They can't go wrong with so generous ranges, can they?

I wouldn't doubt that several hundred thousands or even a couple million poeple in Turkey are Shqiptars and Bosniaks since some Albnaians and Shqiptars view themselves as Turks and Turkic nationalists view Bosniaks, Shqiptars (Albanians) and Georgians as honorary Turks.

Georgians are Orthodox Christians, their language linguistically has no relation to the Turkic language group (it belongs to the Caucasian family of languages, southern branch). I don't think any Turkish nationalist views Georgians as honorary Turks.

However, there is a political alliance between Turkey and Georgia at the moment. It is support by Britain and USA, against the Russia-Armenia-Iran axis. But these temporary politico-military alliances have are unrelated to any sort of civilizational affinity.

Some Turks even view Finns and Estonians as some how related and part of their pan-Turkic crusade (Jihad?). Needless to say, Turks, especially Turkish nationalists, are whacky.

That's another thing. There is the so-called Uralo-Altaic hypothesis, according to which Finno-Ugrian, Turkic, Mongolian, Samoyed and Tunguso-Manchurian languages would be genetically, albeit very distantly, related.

A strange theory - how can languages be genetically related?

How can't they? For example, Slavic languages are so similar that it is obvious they came from an old common language (in German Ursprache). They same goes for Germanic, Turkic languages, Celtic etc.
