"The Bektashi state in Albania"/the Bektashis of Turkey react against

Prime Minister Edi Rama, at the meeting of the UN General Assembly two days ago, presented the idea of ??a Bektashi state within the Albanian territory, according to a model similar to that of the Vatican in Italy.

A reaction against this proposal came from the Bektashis of Turkey, who did not express their approval.

The representatives of the Alevi-Bektash Federation from Turkey, in the published statements, say that Bektashism and the "religious state" are incompatible concepts with each other.

"Bektashism is a belief system originating in Turkey. However, in Albania about 115,000 Bektashi believers, and this represents 5% of the population of Albania. The Alevi Bektashi sect has been living in these parts for centuries. Later, the Ottoman Empire expanded into the Balkans, reaching as far as Hungary, and Albania became the most important country for them. The Alevi-Bektash philosophy considers the 72 nations as One, advises everyone to be sovereign in their actions, love their words and stand by the hero Ali", said the President of the Alevi Bektash Federation of Turkey, Zeynel Abedin Koç.

For his part, the current president of the Alevi Bektashi Federation in Turkey, Husein Güzelgül, has stated that the Bektashi faith and the religious state cannot go hand in hand.

"We do not consider the state based on religion to be right. Such a thing cannot exist where there is peace, harmony and love", he says./ CNA
