[edit] [Greek relations #1]
I have changed the following sentence (found somewhere halfway through the article):
"This is the gravest incident among many abuses by the border police inflicted upon Albanian citizens that is raising tensions."
to this one:
"This is the gravest of many incidents between the Greek border police and Albanian citizens that is raising tensions."
Reason: The sentence, as phrased, is both innacurate and plagued by a skewed, sensationalist and potentially anti-greek POV. The sentence has been refering to the border police firing at illegal immigrants as they have crossed the border. Under this admission, it was the intruders commiting the abuse, willingly, and with a known risk to themselves. Unless it can be proven that the Albanian citizens were within the Albanian side of the border when shot at (in which case I am more than happy to revert the change), it is incorrect to state that they suffered abuse inflicted upom them. Rather, they acted illegaly and as a result suffered a justified response by police officers doing their job. This is not POV by the way: Entry into any country other than your own is a granted priviledge, not an automatic right. I am not trying to suggest that greek cops are generally noble or innocent - far from it (trust me, as a Greek citizen and former resident I know first hand). But in the particular case they only did their job: guarding the country's border against intruders who were attempting unauthorised entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.165.101.124 (talk • contribs) 13:56, 20 July 2005.
- Contrary to the opinions of Greek nationalists and police, there is no right in international law to kill people for crossing a border. The murder of Albanians illegally crossing the border is clearly an abuse and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fascist. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.202.21.122 (talk • contribs) 01:25, 11 January 2006.
[edit] [Greek relations #2]
Can anyone tell me what kind of a 'neutral'(at least) comment is this?:'...of the Greek ethnic minority in southern Albania and of the Albanian minorities in northern Greece.'
Is this supposed to be a different look over minority issues?How come there is 1 greek minority in Albania and several albanian minorities in Greece? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.235.185.95 (talk • contribs) 14:14, 23 November 2005.
[edit] Corfu Channel
Should be info somewhere on the notorious Corfu Channel incident after WW2-- (see United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_22 for a reference), not to mention rejection of Kruschev over anti-Stalinismm alliance with China, etc. AnonMoos 15:34, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
