WHAT THEY SAID: THE ALBANIAN LETTER CORIFICATIONS ABOUT LABERIA
FS Noli: "When Albania suffers, Labëria wakes up". "When I die, accompany me with Laberia songs"
Academician Rexhep Qosja: "Vlora and Laberia was born and reborn in Albania". In fact, Laberia, as I experienced it, is Albania.
The spiritual labyrinth is natural Albania and that means ethnic Albania. With the laberia song of yesterday and today, live the Albanians of all Albanian lands. The song of Labërishte is the brightest example of the inseparable consciousness, of the Albanian national consciousness.
The eminent writer Dritëro Agolli: "Many great things connect me with Labëria" Labëria harmonizes wonderfully three wonderful pillars which are: "Courage, Patriotism and culture". And if we see that during the history of our people: "When freedom is sick, when the flu has caught it, the first to feel this flu or this disease is Laberia", is the body of Laberia and, not only does it feel, but also takes measures to cure him. ”
The clergyman Shtjefën Gjeçovi in 1920, went and fought alongside the people of Vlora. Marveling at the local patriotism, he wrote to the Archbishop of Shkodra: "Monsignor, when I come to Shkodra, I will make you talk, because the people of Vlora for Albania, forgive the wealth, burn the house and give the child".
The great artist Agim Krajka, in a gathering in America, said that: "If it were not for Laberia, Albania would not exist either".
