The creation of the Bektashi state/ Rama: Immersed in infernal ignorance

Prime Minister Edi Rama

Rama has responded to the many criticisms for the creation of the Bektashi state in Albania with a post on the X network where he writes that the infernal lack of handling of this very valuable issue shows that the time has come for this plan to be implemented.

Prime Minister Edi Rama proposed the creation of the Bektashi state in New York during the UN summit, but this sparked a lot of controversy and opposition.

He called on the opponents to get to know the facts and the historical contributions of the Bektashi Order in the affairs of the nation and religion in Albania, because it will help them to understand such a simple and meaningful thing.

"I am used to reading and hearing surprises after every new idea or project of change that I have expressed or presented in all these years, but this time the surprises said or written after the expression of the idea of ??creating a sovereign entity of the Bektashi Order, within the perimeter of the property of the World High Court in Tirana, the limits of all expected fantasies and mischief have been exceeded.

The only thing that I have not heard said by the ardent opponents of this idea is even a meaningful sentence about the history and role of the Bektashis in the destinies of our nation and state, which is good for the survival challenges of the Bektashi Order today. all day it seems that none of them will know what they are not saying!

The infernal ignorance and brutal carelessness in dealing with a matter of such value reinforces my conviction that the time has come for this idea to be implemented and that the need for this step is not only in full harmony with our national interest, but also in service of the necessity of our continuous investment for the preservation and enrichment of the priceless treasure of religious tolerance and harmony, where Bektashism has its irreplaceable merit and role alongside the other three faiths.

However, from the idea to its implementation there is a whole time to clarify everything and a whole public and legislative process to develop, so there is no rush and no need for pointless controversy.

In the meantime, my invitation to the so many opponents of the idea is to familiarize themselves with the facts and historical contributions of the Bektashi Order in the affairs of the nation and religion in Albania, hoping that perhaps this knowledge will help them to see at least something as simple yet meaningful.

Unlike other communities, which have the natural advantage of belonging to very large communities with a global scope - so they also have great opportunities for continuous support on their way - the Bektashi community is, so to speak, an "orphan" in this perspective. That is why raising the status of the World Chief Justice in Albania to the level of a sovereign entity would not only significantly reduce the real threat of the shrinking of that community to dissolution in the span of several decades, but would also guarantee a stable continuity of existence. his for generations.

Addressing this issue today means protecting an extraordinary value of the historical and cultural heritage of the Albanian nation, not counting other great benefits that the creation of such a sovereign entity in the world will bring to Albania and Albanianness. troubled where we live. We have all the necessary time ahead of us to speak wisely and calmly about this."/ CNA
