"I give my blessing to the Albanian people, with all my heart. I ask God to protect him, to help him move forward and never, ever allow any war between his sons. Amen. ” This was the blessing of Pope Francis for Albania during the meeting today in the Vatican with the world leader of the Bektashis, Haxhi Baba Dede Edmond Brahimaj. At the meeting, the two religious leaders reaffirmed the importance of religious communities for today's society. The Pope said that he keeps in his mind and heart the memories from his visit to Albania, and has left deep impressions on the youth and strength of the Albanian people. The Pope praised the work of religious communities in Albania in maintaining peaceful coexistence. The meeting was also attended by Cardinal Turan, chairman of the papal council, who introduced the Pope to the role of the Bektashi community in fraternal interfaith relations in Albania. The Pope spoke reverently of all those people who gave their lives in defense of human and spiritual values. The Holy Father again praised the values of coexistence in our country. "I foster this fraternal harmony," he said. While the Bektashi leader described the meeting as wonderful, fraternal and cordial. He also expressed pride in the figure of the great Albanian humanist, Mother Teresa, whom he called the symbol of human holiness. Haxhi Dede Baba Edmond Brahimaj thanked the Pope for the support and for what he has done for our nation. He congratulated the Pope on the message in support of Muslim refugees, urging states to open not only the doors of homes but also of souls to them. Father Edmond Brahimaj said that Albania and the Bektashi religious community join the Pope's calls for a fight against radical and terrorist currents.
