According to a police source, cited by BBC, there are about 25 000 Albanian emigrants in Messenia working mainly in the agricultural sector. "It is common knowledge now that emigrants contribute to those sectors which are lacking labour force. We need foreign emigrants," says the letter. "It was officially confirmed that they do not bear the responsibility for the growth of crime," the letter runs. The crimes by Albanians in Greece consist only two per cent of the total crimes, according to a study made this year by the Chair of Crime at the Athens University. About 1 500 Albanian nationals in Greece have been arrested in the recent years for various penal acts, say Greek official sources. But there are scores of Albanians among 250-300 thousand Albanian emigrants presently in Greece, who are victims of killings and theft and the authors are not in every case their compatriots, as the local press frequently claims. "The unbridled propaganda initialled by the government of the New Democracy by mid-1993 was zealously amplified by the Greek media, and every theft or killing in Greece was attributed to the so-called Albanian mafia," said BBC in one of its programs last week. kled/xh/sh/ From the Albanian Telegraphic Agency (ATA) Home Page at http://www.telpress.it/ataAlbanian Telegraphic Agency Directory - Previous Article - Next Article |
