      Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was also Albanian.

      What’s really a shame is that everyone in the Balkans suffered because of the ottomans , yet in spite of that fact Serbia benefited more than all other nations because of that relationship with the turks , but by distorting historical facts you paint yourself as victim, even now you seem to think that it’s ok to meddle; or in your case comment on something that clearly has nothing to do with you. Maybe it’s a trait that you got from your mother Russia, and on a further note hopefully both your nations can learn to be neighborly. Te pozdrava

    I liked this video when it came out but this lady feels like such an ottoman enthusiast she never once mentioned skanderbeg of the struggle against the ottomans or it’s turn over of factions, she says in this video when she sees the eagle she says “an ottoman eagle” 🤦🏻‍♂️ which is no such thing, in the land of Albania where the golden eagle is our country’s national symbol, and then states gjirokaster has incredible ottomans heritage, this lady doesn’t even acknowledge how long it’s stood against the sands of time for a thousand plus years, I liked it but she just mentions ottomans way too much and doesn’t, yes Albania was under ottoman rule but so was the rest of the Balkans

      In Turkey there is a large Albanian community roughly 5 million to 7 million located mainly in North East area. Many of them are assimilated Albanians even Erdogan has declared himself being with Albanian origin. Some Albanians have high ranks in Turkish government. Siptars and Turks are related by blood.

      @@balkananthropologist5836 Albanians and Turks are not related by blood, it’s clear as day you compare myself to a Turk we look completely different I’m fair skin and green eyes high cheekbones, I got cousins that are blonde and blue eyes/green eyes I got brown hair, Turks are usually tan and dark eyes
      the Albanians just were under the ottoman system and the Albanians took advantage of that situation to become high in military and government. In which they created their own pashaliks, O serb shkije, erdogan isn’t Albanian, Are you serious the Ottoman Empire took people from all over Europe there’s not 5 million Albanians in turkey that’s an extremely exaggerated number

In my opinion European powers at that time was fighting Albanians not Turks. The Ottoman Empire was mainly Albanian Turkish Empire. Albanians were the brain and bayonets of Ottoman Empire.

Serbian nobles back then gave there daughters to the Turks in exchange to keep there lands ,wtf are you talking about look at your country’s history first. Did you forget Albanians halted the ottoman advance from getting further into Europe for 25 years and saved Italy for that period of time, can you tell me what Serbs did during that time besides being cowards?
